The service person gave him his items and his receipt and the guy said "don't I have to sign it because it was credit not my debit", and the lady said "we have a new procedure that we only make you sign it if it is over $20". So, what do you think about that?
Also, I have been in this business for years. The only thing we were supposed to do is match up the signatures. That has been house policy for many companies along my path of employment even Amtrak for 15 years. I think that if this is true it is a great policy but I have never seen it and I would still like to know if it is legal.
Thanks

Hello, I was under the impression that a service person couldn't ask you for an ID when you went to pay with a credit card say at CVS or any store? Well, I am a manager/bartender at a Pub. My owner told me last night that a few credit cards have come back because the person didn't sign them and they said it was not them who ate and drank at our establishment. OK, I understand they didn't sign the slip, even though it had been ran through our machine. He says he is out the money but I believe it was because they didn't sign the slip. If it was signed then the customer would have to deal with the bank, I think.
Now he is telling me that when a person asks for the check and hands me a credit card, other than the usual process of checking signatures, he says we have to ask for an ID also. Is this a legal procedure? I think not but I may be wrong. I think people may be offended and I know that nobody ever asks me for my ID when I pay with a credit card. What do you guys know about this?
Thanks in advance**.didn't know where to begin to find this answer other than calling a credit card company itself.

Good thing I have a Homestead, because I am not a babysitter, but this is a serious problem and it is rampant everywhere! I have cops that are regulars and they see it and we have talked about it but what do you do, put every drunk in jail? Well, that is another story.
Anyhow, I shut off people all the time, I am alone. a woman, with money in an establishmnet at night, so by no means am I afraid.Across the city last year someone came in and shot one of the people for the money so I am aware, I lock the doors and watch my back. For years I had thousands of dollars in my pocket hailing down a cab in the middle of DC at 3 AM by myself and it never scared me, even when I was taken for a long ride by a foreign cabbie. I REALLY was under the impression it was against the law. But you guys have told me it isn't so now I know the truth.Thank you
