if you work retail and someone you know comes in and their credit card says "ASK FOR ID," you don't, correct?

I mean, it's not your best friend, it's someone you know from work. but you know their name well enough (say they work in your sister department). so you don't ask, right?

right?

depends if my manager is anywhere near the register -- nm - moles Sep 27, 15:02
if I know them I generally don't. I do glance at the card to make sure it is the person I know -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 15:01
Nope. You are required to sign the back. -- nm - Qale Sep 27, 15:00 5
- None of my cards are signed on the back. No one has ever noticed. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 27, 15:20 2
  - Are you shocked that many people working dead end and often abusive retail jobs don't give a shit? -- nm - Qale Sep 27, 15:26 1
    - No -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 27, 15:46
- it's also my understanding that retailers are not allowed to ask for picture ID for a signed card - Reagen Sep 27, 15:02 1
  - Pretty much. But if the signature on the back doesn't in any way match what you put on the paper, we can refuse the sale. - Qale Sep 27, 15:17
You id'd them from life. -- nm - TFox Sep 27, 14:57 1
- what if it's a Ringer situation? -- nm - Reagen Sep 27, 15:00
I'd joke about it. "This machine is asking me to check your id. Haahahaha, isn't that the funniest -- nm - CQ Sep 27, 14:56 6
- "I need your id. Or failing that, how about just your superego?" -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Sep 27, 15:11
- the card says ASK FOR ID. not the machine. (I have to swipe when the machine asks.) -- nm - amanda jones Sep 27, 14:58 3
  - I'm just a poolboy. I'm scared of your fancy machines and cards. -- nm - CQ Sep 27, 15:00 1
    - *giggle* - musubi Sep 27, 15:06
  - it's a talking card??? -- nm - peglegpete Sep 27, 14:59
- sfek. then after the good laugh over something so stupid, I'd ask for her id. No really, give me your id. -- nm - CQ Sep 27, 14:57
