Photo ID
Ed, I recently lost my Visa debit card, and someone went to the mall and had a great time at Lord & Taylor and bought gas and did what they wanted to do. Can you please, please ask merchants to ask for photo ID for any debit card used for this holiday. They ripped me off really good. My bank had to return the funds, but it’s still a fact that the merchants need to ask for ID when someone tries to make a purchase because we have a rash of thefts.
Stolen
Seriously. Have you ever signed a totally different name on the slip just to see if they’re paying attention? Doesn’t employee training cover this stuff? Makes you want to go cash-only. But then you’ll get mugged.—Ed. Note

I know how you feel about losing your visa debit card ! It's the worst when that happens and i agree that merchants should pay better attention.
I have a friend who wrote "Ask for Photo ID" in the line where you are suppose to sign. It seems to work most of the time.
I wrote photo I.D. required on the back of my card and in three years only one person even looked on the back of the card. Trouble is they ask the person they pay the least to do the most important jobs. A minimum wage worker could care less what overruns a store has to pay.
I agree i clearly have CHECK ID written on the back of my card, but no one never checks for it.
