why do you care if they ask for ID?

[GEORGE]

Is seeing the LICENSE more important than the sale???

[Grizzly Bear]

It really doesn't bother me either way (being forced to show id, or not), it's just people in this forum are so against showing id# that they will be inconvenienced and leave the establishment, and then have to go to another store if someone asks for id. My whole reason for this post is trying to figure out why some people get so upset. Seems like a silly thing to get mad at, and even sillier to actually get mad at the clerk who’s asking for it.

 

Also when I'm asked for an id/signature, I feel like a celebrity!!!

 

 

Well, here's one reason it bothers some of us -

 

We are tired of every aspect of our life being policed, especially at a business we are spending money at, especially since up until the last ten years, it was virtually unheard of.

THAT CASH MAY HAVE BEEN STOLEN...BUT YOU ASK ME FOR MY ID BECAUSE I USE A CREDIT CARD and NOT CASH

"Traveljunkio: An unsigned credit card is not valid and should not be accepted."

=====================================================================

***Actually it is and it's never been refused***

 

***My attorney is the one who advised me to put it on my CC and debit cards***

I couldn't stop laughing at the *** part

THAT WAS ACTUALLY AN UNDERSTATEMENT

 

I MADE LIKE 7 or 8 POSTS ABOUT THE REAL FACTS AS TO ASKING FOR ID AND EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS REMOVED

 

Facts and rules are a foreign subject to these people

 

Don't bother going there

 

We remove posts that do not follow our posting guidelines, and we reserve the right to remove any post for any reason.

SO SHOWING ID (with a credit card sale) IN LOST WAGES IS A REASON TO PARTY

 

You are with the in crowd (IN FAVOR OF SHOWING ID)

 

I still want to know WHO they are protecting when they ask for ID

 

I don't need their protection

[GEORGE]

This is where hegemony lives...I wonder what he thinks of the story...

[GEORGE]

FREEDOM OF SPEECH or FREEDOM TO SUPRESS

[GEORGE]

I have driven through LOST WAGES more than a few times and NEVER showed ID any place I went (but it has been a few years)

[Uncle Leo]

I'm just wondering why you're having a conversation all by yourself.

What does BAIT have to do with credit cards and showing ID

 

I keep on getting a whiff of BAIT in the air

You LIKE the alleged "bait". It tastes good to you. You cannot resist. The proof is that you keep responding even when you don't have the excuse of other people quoting, and you never respond at all when the posts are supportive or positive... which they often are.

 

Re: Posts being irrelevant to the subject. You, ummm, really do NOT want to go there. If we felt the need to point them out like some sort of contest, you'd lose.

Me? Where on earth did you get that idea? I was just commenting on the reason they deleted your posts.

In answer to this question, as worded here, they're protecting themselves.

 

ETA: I should clarify... they think they're protecting themselves. Whether or not it's effective is open for debate.

 

 

I don't need their protection

Which is good, because they don't care (as much) about you. Regardless what they say (i.e.: "...for your protection..."), it isn't about you, it's about them... it's just business.

I had a good reply in this topic. I tried to assist the side of "Showing ID helps."

 

Where did my Posts go? I didnt even interact with anyone on this one, i did however glance over the solo conversation..

If someone shows up in LV with YOUR card that ISN'Y you, I am reasonably certain you would be appreciative of a sale not taking place PRECISELY because someone asked for ID...

*snort* yeah, right. The only people that taut it are those that never got hit with fraud...

There's a difference between getting a card stolen and getting your ID stolen, isn't there? The first is pretty easy to deal with - it's happened to me several times. The second seems to haunt you forever.
