If you get mad when someone asks to see your I.D....

[Monky]

I always say 'No' when they ask to see an ID.. it usually makes people stutter and drool..

Of course I say it as I reach for my wallet, but most people stare at their feet when they talk.. people in a bank are no exception..

Well if someone was trying to take money out of my account I would love for you to card them..

Kudos to you sir for DOING your job.

Racist!

I'd love to see a study into how they avoided fraud in various contexts before the government assigned you a number at birth and required you to get and keep a photo ID on you to do just about anything.

Back when people delt mostly in cash it didn't really matter who you were in the vast majority of transactions.

As we become more and more a cashless society, the unintended consequence is that you must constantly be able to prove who you are since your money is held by proxies and accessed remotely.

Mev, my brother is in the same boat- he works at a bank and was yelled at once (they even asked to see the manager) because he didn't recognize them and asked for ID. Really? His manager said "Nope, he's doing his job..." Now through him I know everyone at the bank (and the old man is on the board) so I can't recall ever showing ID, but like cstone said, our family has established that relationship with the bank, and that's how you traditionally conducted business. Let them get upset for making them show ID, good, I hardly ever get carded at the bar anymore, I know, apples and oranges, but what happens when they stop checking when you purchase things on a credit card (big ticket items some places make it a requirement- ala Best Buy)?

Good on you for doing your job!

Im always glad when they ask me for my ID. Getting your identity stloen sucks big time. All the backs of my cards say ask for ID the best is when they flip it over stare at it shake there head and run it any way.

I always thank clerks who ask for ID from me.

Yep, I have "see ID" on the backs of all of my cards and in about 90% of my transactions I am never asked for ID. Some places I frequent do not ask any longer but did previously so I continue to do business with them. I always thank people for asking for my ID. I have had fraudulent activity on my bank account before but my bank caught it instantly. It helped that I was grocery shopping on the same day they decided to use my card in another state. I was never out any money but it was still a headache to have to lose all of my cards for a couple of weeks and have accounts temporarily frozen. I am much more careful as to where I will use my card as well with all of the card skimming going on nowadays.

Well, once we all get our microchip in the back of our hand this won't be a problem anymore......

Try working the door at a bar/nightclub ...

People get upset when you ask for it .. I quite often hear " Really I have to have my ID?"
