C I D

What's with writing "See ID" or the ever-so-incorrect, "C I D" on the backs of your credit cards? Half the time you leave your ID in the car but then act offended when we ask for it. The other half the time you act like it's too much trouble to get it out of your wallet. Without a signature to compare it to, how do I know it's you? "I'm in here all the time" doesn't cut it. I have 300 customers a day; unless you're in several times a week or either exceptionally nice or really rude I won't remember you.

The people who don't write ANYTHING on the back of your card—you're REALLY stupid. I ask for your ID, explaining that your card's not signed. "Oh, I don't sign it so people will ask for my ID." So what happens if you lose your card and someone signs your name on it and then buys something in a store—the signature will be a perfect match! Ever thought of that?
