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

[sniper7]

I always thank the person who reads the back of my credit card and actually asks to see my ID.


now, I have something that will blow your fucking mind....USPS here in brighton actually told me they WILL NOT accept credit cards if they are not signed and WILL NOT check ID. I was given no clear explanation as to why, other than it is THEIR POLICY....

I always tell a clerk that asks, "Thank you for asking."

I once had a clerk that wouldn't run my card because it wasn't signed. I had to sign it in front of him and then he ran it. Never did ask for ID.

I do like asking the tellers when they ask me how i would like my bills
"May i have them in Federal Reserve Notes?" To date every teller has called a manager over for assistance. Even worse is when the mgr thinks for a minute or 2 before catching on.

Should ask for Silver Certificates or Treasury Notes (I like Blue and Red)

On the back of most cards it says, "not valid unless signed". Yeh post office and some other places are pretty anal about that.

I trade for cash. If you need an id you do not need cash. Any other financial document would not be accepted by me. I however do not need to make a living at it.

Thanks for doing your job? my account got charged 1200 for photos in new york becuase some one didn't ask for ID, it would have work if not for one thing (only had $5 at the time)

Thanks for the support, guys.

For the most part, that is .

I just don't understand what the problem is. "You must be new." OBVIOUSLY I'm new. I'm 6'4, weigh 300 pounds, and look like Haggrid from the Harry Potter movies. You would INSTANTLY KNOW if I was new, if this is your home bank.

So, if you KNOW I'm new, then you KNOW I HAVE TO SEE YOUR I.D.

Holy crap. Don't like it, don't use my line. Go to the teller you know. This isn't that freaking difficult.

Yes sir, all credit/debit cards that I am aware of say "not valid unless signed" on the back. But once again, that is something most people do not check.

And my other favorite thing so far, people who do not have a debit/atm card with PIN verification, getting upset when I ask to see their I.D. for balances, account information, small withdrawals, etc.

Seriously, you walk up and CLAIM to be someone, I HAVE to verify it.

I understand the issue that was brought up earlier about "how did people protect themselves back in the day?" before I.D.'s, socials, etc... but we were also talking about a time before FAKE I.D.'s could be printed, accounts could be hacked, and fraudulent electronic information transfer was available.

No, I do not think the government is an answer to these problems (i.e. wikileaks) but crap, this is the system we have, it is by no means perfect or 100% secure, but its all we have for now.

Mev I feel ya man. I was a teller for a while and I still teller sometimes when help is needed. People are so STUPID. Now I admit, I'll get a little annoyed when people ask for my ID when I want to see a R rated movie. It's like "bro...I am 6' 200lbs with a full beard and a bangin hot girlfriend who is older than you. Do I seriously look like I might possibly be 16?"

But keeping money safe and verifying identity is just simply a must. I wonder if you could have them sign a form that would make an alert pop up saying "Do not check ID. Customer is retarded and wants to lose money."


Anyways, I feel your pain. I found a good way to diffuse that situation is to say "I apologize as I am knew here and I don't know all of you guys yet. I am learning! And I will try to remember your self-righteous ass next time you come in." Minus the self-righteous ass part. They usually feel rather stupid.
