When I worked in Yosemite....I had a scruffy, bearded midget man walk in to the mountain shop one morning....and head over to my North Face Jackets (it was snowing and he was dressed in sweats). He did the typical touchy feely looky shopping thing. After about fifteen minutes he brought up a red and black Mountain Parka(about $300)...and took out a credit card. Something about the eyes made me curious, so I rang him up and asked for ID (card was not signed).....The Card said "R Williams"......and indeed it was Robin Williams. I handed the card back , and the ID, at which point he said "Please, Just dont tell anyone I'm here"....I waited a week.
Retailers are expected under law to verify signature on a Credit Card, Either by matching the Sig on Back with the slip...or checking ID. All My Cards say "Check I.D." on the back...and are signed. In this way a stolen card is protected from misuse, and my ass is covered.
