my friend went to buy something from a shop. He then handed over his credit card for payment. The cashier questioned him that the card isn't signed in the back, so he cannot accept credit card. My friend then agreed to sign the card there, but the cashier then asks friend to show ID. My friend then shows his driver license but even then the cashier refused to accept ---- cashier said name on credit card is too common, and many people have that name.
Friend's name is Joe Smith. The credit card really belonged to him, and even after showing license he is still rejected sale.
who is at fault and what to do in such situation?
Joe says he feels utterly humiliated and harassed by the cashier and is still upset.

most stores have swipe pads where the customer swipes card himself there and cashier has no business touching customer card for any reason. Gas stations, grocery stores, retail stores, they all have such equipment. From next time he is not shopping at any place where cashier molests the card.

The cashier sounds like a power-crazed little jobsworth. Your pal should have called the manager.

Read the back of the credit card: IT SAYS NOT VALID UNLESS SIGNED. Signing in front of the cashier is NOT what that means. If there was such an issue, your friend should have asked to see a MANAGER and get the manager's decision. But knowing the card needed to be signed to be valid, WHY DID HE NOT SIGN IT ? Also, the banks have advised that you can sign a card with SEE IDENTIFICATION in the signature block, but NEVER NEVER NEVER leave it blank.

i think a cashier is within their rights to refuse to accept an unsigned card-even though i certainly believe your story. unfortunately there is so much credit card fraud and identity theft they are just being extra careful. i am glad they are that stringent as it means we - including joe-will be protected just incase anyone does get hold of our cards,

do no longer blame your self or God. do in no way injury your self. It wasn't even on the brink of your fault! You 2 have been in basic terms racing somewhat. the vehicle crammed with drunks is to blame. Figures those idiots have been out on the streets while they could desire to no longer have been. those persons are stupid idiots and took an harmless superb guy or woman and if every person is to blame, it quite is them. It wasn't your fault, you in basic terms waited for her on the end line. i'm so sorry that took place, it quite is in basic terms now and back human beings drink simply by fact it quite is "cool" and then they bypass out and force to "teach their manliness", and then they take the lives of harmless human beings. they are to blame, and a few way or yet another they are going to pay for what they did to you and your buddy. So please, do no longer think of it is your fault or God's, it became theirs. They have been stupid sparkling holes and drank way too lots. Please, do no longer hate or injury your self, or hate God. It had no longer something to do with the two of you, and you're feeling responsible in basic terms given which you have been there that nighttime, and you concept you probably did something incorrect in basic terms given which you're in denial, it quite is okay, interior the tip you would be jointly. yet you may't take the suicide direction. summer time would not desire you to. God would not desire you to. they desire you to stay a happy life. you will under no circumstances recover from the loss of life, yet you may take care of it.

that cashier should be fired. what an idiot. one time when i was in high school i had my debit card with my moms name on it because bank one wont let a minor have their own name on their debit card even if its their own money. so i'd get denied alot.
