    The signature on the back of your credit card is NOT for the cashier to compare signatures. It is there as your formal acceptance of your credit card companies policies.
    Visa says:
    Be sure that the signature on the card matches the one on the transaction receipt and the additional identification. If the signatures appear reasonably the same and the authorization request is approved, go ahead and complete the transaction.
    The link I posted is how to prevent Credit Card FRAUD with Visa. Mastercard is the same way. They tell you to compare the signatures.

    Is your credit card signed? If it is not signed then they can ask you. Personally, I don't see why every place doesn't ask for an ID when using a credit card no matter what. it prevents a lot more fraud. That's why I don't sign my credit cards. Most places don't ask when I don't even have it signed anyway.

    That makes no sense. First of all, you should never go anywhere without your ID. Second, if you have a smaller wallet, it should be easier to get that ID out. I don't remember saying anything about a social security card or 20 credit cards.

    You've got to be kidding me. It's annoying that some one asks for 2 seconds of your life to look at your ID to verify that your name matches your card.

    I just really can't understand why it's annoying. The people in our society who act like they should never be bother by anything and that the world revolves around them is the only thing that's annoying here.
