Don't show ID

[sean1397]

Show I go to the store tonight to buy a plasma TV

 

My clerk is gorgeous blonde with a little bit of European flair.

 

Anyways, she asks for ID.

 

Now if I was George, I would create a big stink, but being Sean I whip it out (The ID that is)

 

She says - hey, you live in my building.

 

I say hey, we should grab drinks sometime.

 

She leaves work and gives me a call. We go an get drinks.

 

Turns out she's from France and in town studying law - the whole ID question made for great conversation. Anyways, she's making me dinner Saturday.

 

Moral of the story: Show your damn ID. Buy the stuff. Live your life.

I love how I spelled so! Guess Show ID has been in my brain.

Dinner on Saturday is nice...but it'll be even better if she ends up making you breakfast on Sunday morning...wink wink nudge nudge...

SIGNED CREDIT CARD = NO ID

 

They are REQUIRED to accept the card without ID. This is part of the rules Visa/MC/AmEx set.

 

You don't want to follow the rules? Then you better not sign the agreement.

True, but BOOTY > CC MERCHANT RULES

Come on BBQ - I'll take hot French bootie - or any bootie for that matter instead of fighting not to show an ID!

 

And yes, the plan is breakfast Sunday morning or afternoon (If we drink too much)

I limit myself to women who have character and will not back down to some salamander asking for ID or trying to implement a minimum/maximum/fee/surcharge for them to use a signed credit card!

 

The word is spreading. More and more people are becoming enlightened each day about their rights as a credit card user. I have let all my friends know... now none of them will show ID, or pay a minimum or a fee (none of them have run into the maximum issue yet... though my friend's dad did at a car dealership: they said $1000 max... he wanted to pay for the whole car on a credit card, they wouldn't back down so he WALKED OUT and later went someplace else for the car!)

...and after she drugs you and her boyfriend and all his buddies clean out your apartment???

 

THEN WHAT???

[sean1397]

BBq, I call Geronimo - If you are single and a guy and like women, if a hot cashier asked you for ID and giving her it meant you'd get a date, you would say ok.

 

George, the day I get drugged by a hot drunk chick will be a horrible day. Sadly these are the risks I'm willing to take. Some people ride motorcycles, some sky dive, I'm willing to risk having drinks with a girl. CAll me an salamander.

Go ahead and call bull---t.

 

I show the ID to no one when I present a signed Visa/MC/AmEx. If the hot cashier wants a phone #, maybe... ID -- nope.

I think requiring ID is crap.

 

Paypal (For example, from your other post in my other thread about the same thing) should be allowed to ID you. They cannot see your card, hence cannot verify that you signed anything.

 

If they can see your signature, then all is good. But as far as I know, they cannot

Paypal is card-not-present... no ID is needed nor is signature. PayPal takes a loss in the event of chargeback (and passes it onto the seller if they dind't follow seller protection program)

I know that. My point. I was just cross-threading, as this thread was started off another thread about the same thing.

I'm sorry Sean, you are a sellout.

You have given up one of your fundamental human rights.

If Thomas Jefferson were alive today I am confident he would be a frequent

and angry contributor to the "VISA MC policies" subforum.

 

In fact there is a rumor that just before her death Mother Teresa became

aware of the problem of merchants asking for ID with VISA and MC and was

about to dedicate the rest of her life to the cause.

Do you still think she died of natural causes?

 

I have also heard that Bono of U2 is going to ditch his efforts to decrease

world poverty and hunger and concentrate instead on this important issue.

 

I've said too much, my life may be in danger...

remember what happened to Mother Teresa.

Fight the power.

Settle down there, Che.... none of that has anything to do with the conversation at hand.

LOL... I see it now.... can I get a "wink" or something next time?

 

You would be surprised at the level of dedication of these anti-ID guys... NOTHING would surprise me.

[bfarber]

hahaha, quite frankly, I'm with Sean.

 

Sorry, but this vigorous "Oh no they asked for my ID " attitude is just funny.

 

This is what it reminds me of:

 

 

 

 

 

 

[DISPUTER]

Good Luck!!

 

 

To show ID or not.....hmmmmmmmmmmm... Who cares? I will show my ID whenever they ask for it. I don't care if they are allowed to or not...They are asking to protect themselves and consumers. Bring on the flaming.

[GEORGE]

YOU LOVE TO SHOW ID.......

 

SHOW IT.............

 

SCAN IT ON TO THIS WEB SITE FOR ALL I CARE.........

 

I'LL GET YOU A T-SHIRT THAT HAS YOUR ID ON THE FRONT AND BACK AND YOU CAN WEAR IT ALL OVER TOWN.................
