Here's what makes her doubly stupid: your card is not valid unless SIGNED. "Please check ID" does not count as a signature. Every credit/bank card I've ever had has required a signature, and I've seen several people get called on that at retail establishments. I've even seen a person turned down for a transaction because the card was not considered valid by their business.
In our state, our driver's licenses and IDs are printed with our signatures on them, so any clerk who asks for our ID will be able to match name, picture, and signature with what's on the card and who's holding it.
