I hate that story, I always here people say "I always sign Daffy Duck!" or whatever like its so zany. We get it, credit card companies don't really care what the signature looks like. I already knew this out of the gate because I don't really have a signature I just scribble out of laziness.

Coatlicue posted:Yeah, I'm sure the manager will be telling this story for years. That story reminds me of something that did happen~~~ When I worked in retail in the uk an American came up and wanted to pay with his card. The card machine prints receipt that needs to be signed (as with all non-chip and pin cards), I go to compare the signature to the one on the back of the card...the guy hasn't signed it, I looked at him and he got out his driver's license with his sig on. Why? The reason being he told me was he didn't want to sign the back of his loving bank/credit card. Which in the uk will mean he'll have to get his drivers license out everything he purchases something instead of taking the extra second to scribble on the back of the card. I put his stuff in the bag, and wished him the best of luck with his UK shopping experience with my best poo poo eating grin. I just don't get these people who try to be funny and whacky with retail workers.

The stated reason for this is that if the card gets stolen, the thief has an easily accessible sample of your signature to learn how to fake. So to that guy it might have been logical to pull out his drivers license each time rather than whatever he perceived as the risk of signing the back of his card.

Khazar-khum posted:713 thumbs up! My favorite part is he's the worst at this whole security thing, even if he wasn't lying; trespass the guy, follow him to the department in which he works, contact his supervisor/dept. head, and inform them of the infraction. Literally no need to even have this whole exchange in the real world. The easiest way to handle all this: "Hey did you hear me?" "No." "Well, next time listen so you don't get hit by an ambulance." "Ok/gently caress off." "Thanks/gently caress you too!" End of scene.

A lot of people in the US do this and use their passport/driver's license to prove who they are. It's their choice, and while I don't think it really makes any difference in whether their poo poo gets stolen, it's a matter of personal preference and not really a loving YANKS issue.

A signature is worthless as a means of identification anyway. I've completely hosed it up and my bank has accepted it, and most of those screens you're meant to sign are so loving inaccurate that if you manage to get something that looks like something other than a child scribbling is a challenge.

It's the weird aversion to chip & pin. It's been used in the uk for so long that signing for something just takes much longer. So not having the back of the card signed and having to pull out get another card makes the whole paying process longer, even more frustrating when there's a long queue of customers also. The signature thing here is based solely on the retailer authorising it rather than the machine, as a security measure it's paper thin compared to a number only you know. And it wasn't a "loving yanks" thing it was a "Christ, this guy" thing.

He was wearing dungarees, holding a plunger and a toolbox with "totally a plumber for real" written on it.

My father writes CHECK PHOTO ID in the signature box on all his cards because he's paranoid about identity theft. These things happen I guess.

Right no. I'm not defending it, merely explaining the reasoning behind it, even if it's faulty. I, personally, cannot wait until the chip thing the the UK has becomes prevalent over here.
