Default Re: Quick gas station rant

Josey Wales,

See, your explanation was the reason I thought they asked to see your license, so that they could match signatures. This still doesn't make any sense to me at all because the electric signing pad box at the DMV is tiny and awkward, half my hand is off the box where I can't rest to write and I end up writing in an unnatural position and the resulting signature is nothing like what I write like. When I sign a credit card I sign normally, obviously. So the two signatures aren't even close.

So two things happen when I purchase an item. 1) They improperly don't ask for ID after seeing my signature 2) They look at my license and either don't notice that the signatures are nowhere close to each other (though I signed them both) or they really don't give a [censored].

I am thinking it doesn't matter, most of these clerks are waiting for their 15 minute break so they can smoke some herb just to get through their miserable day at Best Buy.
