Common sense is dead in this country. Per Fox23 last night, four young Hispanic males attack an old lady, steal her purse, and go to a department store with her credit card. From there:

They spent more than $4,200 on three flat-screen TV’s, four Xboxes, a Playstation and two GPS’.

Who is the ******* checker who has four young Hispanic guys show up with three flat screen TVs, four Xboxes, a Playstation and two GPS units, pays for it with a woman's credit card, and no red flags go up or something doesn't go off in their head that this smells heavily like excrement? I mean for God's sake, people.....*beep*......."Hmmm, that didn't ring up right. Let me call my manager...."

Good point - I also can't help but wonder how on earth it could matter who signs the electronic signature pad for credit/debit card, since they checkers never look at the signature, and rarely ask for ID. I just sign my own "name" for debit card in random nonsensical scribbles and it always works.

I actually get surprised when someone asks for ID when I pay with a card, I wish more people asked. It's very rare that anyone even looks at the card at all, just swipe and go.

Seriously, I can only imagine how much credit card fraud like that would shrink if we just had some accountability at the point of sale.

A couple weeks ago at a movie, my friend jokingly signed for me when I bought a drink. He signed "Mike Hawk" or something along those lines, and it was approved!

Maybe the checker didn't want to be accused of racial profiling? ;)

I have done the phallic symbol signature at wal mart

when it prints the signature and the clerk notices what appears to be an "appendage" they give weird looks

At Wal Mart your signature prints out on the receipt. I've drawn penises, swastikas, ****s, middle fingers, etc and they never bother to look at it.

Lol I gotta try that sometime. I love how the signatures go through no matter what you do. I bet you could draw a straight line and be fine. Seems a little pointless.
