Re: They Can't Ask for A License

I always ask for the customer to write their phone number on the cc receipt. Rarely does anyone refuse. I have only ever used the phone numbers to call people after they leave their card or package at my booth - this does happen once or twice a year. I have noticed that more people are not signing the back of their cards, and many cards are so worn out that you cannot compare the signature, which I always do. Some people think it's okay to use their partner's or family member's card, but if I accept it and then the charge is disputed, I'm up the creek.
Years ago a local video store would not give me a membership without three pieces of ID, I only had two, so they demanded my SIN number. I refused and had them call the manager, and he wouldn't let me get a membership so I never went back. All this hassle for a video, the store was referred to as VIDEO FASCHISTS from then on by me and my boyfriend. But we are the kind of customers that hold a grudge for poor service. Once the boyfriend took his microwave in for servicing, and the repair place said they would order a part asap, and six months later they called us. So for years, every time we drove past the place we would shake our fists and yell, "Screw you, St.James TV!"
