The MacStore of Pacific NW "picture ID required on credit card due to increasing identiy fraud"

They've got a multi-page link talking about company philosophies how they'll never operate just by policies yet one thing they don't talk about on the page but they do in the store is that the store makes up rules that completely ignores VISA MC & AMEX policies.

 

The BS sign I spotted inside their Beaverton store reads:

"Due to increased risk of identity theft, all credit card must be accompanied by a current picture I.D. all 3rd party use of credit cards must have the holder present at time of payment. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone"

 

Yeah, apparently if they're female, yes that's a valid reason to them. If they choose to exercise their contractual right to not having service denied for not showing ID, that too.
