Sheetz asks for ID every week

[DiamondGurl]

I got to Sheetz every saturday morning and buy two cartons of cigarettes, it comes to $112. They card me every week. I just hand it over cuz I want my cigs.

 

However, I asked about it today and they guy told me they have a special deal with MC and Visa that allows them to card.

 

Could this be true?

If Walmart doesn't have a special deal with Visa/MC, then it is highly unlikely that Sheetz does. The clerk came up with that on top of their head. Report 'em.

VISA and M/C POLICY FOR ID IS WHAT IT IS FOR EVERY BUSINESS

 

No "SPECIAL DEALS"

Could it be you are being "carded" because you are buying cigs and not because you are using a cc?

BINGO!

 

My guess is OP would be carded even if they paid cash for cigs...

ADD...

 

IF THEY ARE BUYING CANCER STICKS...the ID should be for the cancer sticks...not the credit card

 

Use EXPENSIVE cash once

 

Buy a non booze drink like COKE or PEPSI (like a 12 pack or 24 pack)

 

"IF" they carry it...I have no idea what a Sheetz is or where it is...

FOUND THEM...THEY ARE ON THE EAST COAST

 

But not in MAINE or any other part of NEW ENGLAND...so that is why I have never seen one or seen it advertised

Sheetz is a COOL gas station/convenience store.

 

Think of it as a better 7/11 or Circle K, with food and pastries.

 

I spent plenty of $$ there when in VA.

So you going to buy something other than CANCER STICKS??? (like a food item)

 

Buy the CANCER STICKS with cash???

Theoretically they could do this for the cigarettes but it sounds like they do it once the card is presented. If they were doing it for the cigarettes then they would make the ID request when the cigarettes are scanned and not once the card is presented for payment.

 

Another option when selling age restricted items where ID is required by law would be to ask for ID for the alcohol/tobacco, look at the name, remember it for the duration of the transaction until the card is presented then look at the card. So you are not explicitly requiring card and ID but you are verifying the name on the card against ID nonetheless.

 

My personal favorite is being asked for it once when the item is scanned, having it returned to me, then having to show it a second time a few seconds later with the card.

Sounded to me like the CANCER STICKS were the only purchase SO the credit card and the ID request happened at the same time

[GEORGE]

The "OP" did a hit and run anyway...

 

Didn't come back to fill in the blanks

 

Not that it really matters

I've had the liquor store ask "can I see your ID for your credit card?" once

OP is hot. I would card her every day and several times on Sunday - just to have her stand in front of me longer.
