I still asked to see the card so I could see the back of it (the signature). It's policy. (I worked retail less than a year ago.)
OT but ...
And thank heaven for stores with that policy!!! No one but the cardholder should be cleared to use that card, and store security should be called immediately if someone other than the cardholder tries. EVERY. TIME.
Identity theft is running rampant in the US, and believe it or not, the most common culprits are family members of victims. That makes things REALLY difficult for those of us who have our identity stolen by hackers and dumpster divers, because we end up dealing with police officers who want to write off the crimes against us as domestic disputes.
Don't lend your cards to your kids, please -- by doing so you are making life easier for criminals, who can just say, "Oh, it's my mom's card" and be believed.
