I have a 2nd job at a liquor store...bossman says you must ask for ID w/all CC purchases to verify it's their card...no ID, then refuse the sale.

id ok for liquor not for credit card. will show for booze not cc.

BOSSMAN CAN GET A CLUE!!!

ID FOR THE BOOZE!!!

ID NOT FOR THE SIGNED CREDIT CARD!!!

GRANDPA (60+) USES A SIGNED CREDIT CARD...YOU CAN'T ASK FOR ID!!!

NOW 21-30 IT'S A JUDGEMENT CALL (FOR THE BOOZE NOT THE CREDIT CARD)

WAL*MART USES UP TO 27 "WE CARD"

BUT I HAVE ASKED PEOPLE FOR ID THAT I KNEW FOR A FACT WERE 25+ AND THEY ENDED UP BEING 18 THAT DAY!!!

ON THE OTHER-HAND I HAD ONE THAT I KNEW FOR A FACT SHE WAS 14...WRONG SHE WAS 20+

YOU NEVER KNOW!!!

I AIN'T GOING TO JAIL or PAYING A FINE or LOSE MY JOB FOR CANCER STICKS!!!

Believe me - I know...I told the Assist Mgr already that they're violating Visa/MC policy by doing this...she shrugged it off.

I see your in FL

IT IS AGAINST THE LAW ALSO IN FL!!!

(I THINK)--UNLESS THAT IS JUST THE SURCHARGE PART OF THE CREDIT CARD POLICY

They have 7 stores here locally...I'm surprised no one has hammered them on it....

Maybe he's a "young" 60.

My dad was carded at a baseball game when he was 47 while buying a beer. He hadn't been carded in over 25 years. He asked the guy if he was kidding. The guy said "No. We have to card." The guy looked like he was nearing 80. I guess all the whippersnappers under 55 are suspect at that age.

I would guess that the vast vast majority of people simply don't know. Even of those that do know, many probably don't really care. They're more concerned about getting home to watch Sopranos re-runs.

GOTTA GO TO WORK TOMORROW BUT I COULD FLY INTO MCO** ON MONDAY AM AND WE COULD DO A STING

I DON'T DRINK THOUGH...WHAT AM I GONNA' "TRY" TO BUY WITH-OUT ID ON MY SIGNED CREDIT CARD???

(I was 29 a few years ago)



**I CAN SEE SOME OF DISNEYWORLD WHILE I'M THERE ON THE LAST OF MY VACATION...


(BEEN TO DISNEYLAND LIKE 100+ TIMES)

OK THE GREAT-GRANDPA (or GREAT-GREAT GRANDPA) IS 80+

NO ID ON THE SIGNED CREDIT CARD!!!

Had a guy come in a few days ago - had to be pushing 90...was making a purchase w/cash...he walked up to the counter and said "I left my ID at home - can I still buy this?" I told him I'd let him slide this time, but he looked kinda young to me!

George - I went looking on visa.com for the part that says it's policy and that visa can revoke merchant's use for not following policy, but couldn't find it...would love to show it to them.

MORE HOMEWORK...

...AND I'M ON VACATION!!!

Let me look for something...

IT IS IN THE "BUSINESS" SIDE OF IT...

Sorry George..I thought you might just have it handy! LOL! Don't worry...I'll find it eventually, but I'm about to get ready to head out to that job, so I don't have time to look today...lol

YOUR COMEBACK SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING LIKE "WHY ARE YOU WASTING YOUR VACATION ON CREDITBOARDS"

no law in any state that says maximum age to look at id for adult beverage purchase but common sense should prevail.. if the old geezer clearly old and walking around with a bedpan I would tend to believe he is 21 and if he pays for booze with cc I wont be asking for id no matter what the idiot boss says.

Sorry...I'm not that quick witted some days...lol

You let a supervisor know the policy is in violation... wait for the store to be fined for violating and then they'll change.

THE PDF FILE IS SUPER SLOW TO OPEN...

AND I HAVE COMCAST H/S INTERNET

THE PROBLEM IS YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE VISA/MC RULES SO "IF" YOU GOT IN A STING I'M NOT SURE YOU WOULD BE AN "INNOCENT" PARTY

STORE POLICY CAN'T OVER-RULE CREDIT CARD POLICY

I missed this earlier...but I'm way north of Disney...lol..not much to see around here...

You could buy juice...or soda...cigarettes...etc

THE PDF FROZE THE COMPUTER SO I WAS NOT DOING YOUR HOMEWORK

SLAP ME I'M BAD!!!

Ok..this is what I found...

What would be an example legitimate suspicion?

a teenager with a car would be suspicious sometimes... you just never know.. personal judgement.

Suspicious? Like when a teenage black male comes in to buy liquor and presents a Platinum Card with the name Mary O'Reilly on it? That kind of suspicious???

yeah that kind of suspicious.

Had a new one a couple nights ago. Was shopping at Kohl's, paid with CC. Generally, if I swipe the card myself I immediately put it back in my wallet. This cashier, before she would give me the receipt, said "I need to see your ID or the signature.". I had never been given a choice before. I cheerfully showed her the signature on the card and she cheerfully gave me my receipt.

No real point to this, just sharing a new experience.

i have a question..i thought with the "new" protection on debit/visas all liability lies on the merchant, meaning if you own store A and take a stolen credit card YOU lose hte money..the owner of the card gets their money back and the thief gets whatever he bought? Or is it that lets say BofA; loses the money..? Someone has to eat the bill and I always was told its the merchant now days

The merchant won't eat it. They'll raise prices to cover it.

ID WITH-OUT THE CARD IS ILLOGICAL

I HAVE HAD SOME PEOPLE TRY TO GIVE ME THE ID WITH-OUT THE CARD...ID WITHOUT A CARD DOES NOTHING!!!

Not trying to bash here since you aparently know something of what you talk about, but George, I have a REAL hard time understanding your blabber some time. I guess it would help if they were real sentences so EVERYONE could understand not just you. I dont ask you to do homework for me but typing something only you can understand dosent help me in doing MY homework.


On topic....

Hes talking about them asking to either see an ID or Signature on the back of the card. I have no clue what your trying to say.

THE DRIVERS LICENSE or THE SIGNATURE ON THE BACK OF THE CARD????

HOW ABOUT THE SIGNATURE ON THE BACK OF THE CARD or THE CARD AND THE DRIVERS LICENSE (if not signed)

A DRIVERS LICENSE WITH-OUT THE CARD IS USELESS!!!!

DO YOU GET IT???

(if not ask somebody to translate for you)





KNOW SOMETHING OF WHAT YOU TALK ABOUT?????

It seems as though you know what your talking about on this board since everyone asks for you. While you tell people that you dont need to do their homework. I bet you would cut down on that if people could UNDERSTAND the post rather than something you cut and paste on every tread

Do you read and post according to what the subject is about or just copy and paste the NO ID bit.

the reason I ask that is what playthecreditgame said.


I guess your so bent on this ID thing thats all you can post about. ID OR Signature.... Most people that read that probably THOUGHT either show your ID or SIGNATURE on the back of the card. It would defeat the purpose of the option if she wanted to see your singature ON your ID.






ID without the card? You mean showing your ID with out the Credit Card?

Like I said, what are you talking about.. THAT makes no sense. You couldnt charge anything if you didnt give them your card.

Your right, doing that means nothing but what did that have to do with the post this was in response too. Full sentences please. Most wont need a "translator" then.

I JUST AM AN INVITED GUEST HERE...

JUST FILE YOUR COMPLAINT WITH THE OWNERSHIP/MODERATORS OF THIS BOARD...

SIGNATURE ON BACK OF CARD...(NO ID REQUIRED)

NO SIGNATURE ON BACK OF CARD CHECK CARD AND ID...BOTH

SHOWING ID WITH-OUT THE CARD IS USELESS TO THE CASHIER!!!

MY CARD IS SIGNED I DON'T SHOW ID...

"IF" YOU DON'T GET IT JUST PUT ME ON IGNORE AND YOU WILL BE HAPPIER!!!

Then act like it.




WTf?



Thats fine and dandy but thats NOT what the subject was about.

YOUR TREADING ON DANGEROUS GROUND...

BUY ONE CLUE FOR THE LOW PRICE OF FREE AND GET A SECOND ONE FOR NO CHARGE

Hey I know a black guy named mary whats so suspicious about that?

let him learn.

I disagree with this. As an employee you did not sign the merchant agreement and your job position doesn't entail enforcing the merchant agreement - that would be a job for a manager/owner. Informing a manger that store policy is breaking the merchant agreement is fine, but I would say that the employee should follow store policy rather than the merchant agreement, which they personally made no agreement to follow.

I always think it's funny when I use credit at the liquor store near my house. I'm college age, so it's reasonable that I'd be carded but they always say to me "Can I see your ID... for the credit card." I know they'd probably card me anyways because I usually get carded there when I use cash, but I guess they're trying not to insult me or something by saying they want to see my ID "for the credit card."

I haven't bothered to mention to them that they violate the merchant agreement when they do that because then they would just say "ok, well then I need to see your ID to verify your age." That, and I don't really care if a merchant wants to see my ID (as long as they don't take down my LIC# or something) because if they get less chargebacks that means they aren't wasting as much money and they can keep their product prices lower - benefitting me.

hold on GEORGE....I'll get it.






SIGNATURE ON BACK OF CARD...(NO ID REQUIRED)

NO SIGNATURE ON BACK OF CARD CHECK CARD AND ID...BOTH

SHOWING ID WITH-OUT THE CARD IS USELESS TO THE CASHIER!!!

MY CARD IS SIGNED I DON'T SHOW ID...

The merchant doesn't eat it anyway, unless they do not follow MC/Visa policy. If a merchant swipes a card, checks signature, and follows the correct procedures, the merchant is not responsible for fraudulent charges.

sorry store policy or no policy im not checking a 90 year old mans id for beer.. not gonna happen. personally drinking age laws are stupid and lame... they dont have them in europe and no kids over there act stupid behind the wheel ...in germany you drive drunk you lose your license no ifs ands or buts no exceptions

They are allowed to ask to look at the credit card if they have self-swipe (to check signature).

They can't ask for ID if the card is signed, though.

If they say ID or back of card... that is okay, because you aren't required to show ID (can show back of card)

You will have to ask for somebody else to help you...I'M NOT SPELLING ANYTHING ELSE OUT FOR YOU!!!

I see I'm not alone in my thinking. Use the ignore function; I did and CB is so much easier to read as a result of doing so.
