We have a Chinese take out restaurant not far from me and they always ask for I.D. and my meal is usually less than $7. It's probably a good thing that they do, What if you lost your credit or debit card in the parking lot and another person tried to get a free meal of you. A few weeks ago, I was at the ATM which is in the same area as the restaurant. I was behind another person and when he finished his transaction, I pulled up and saw that he had left his card in the slot. I took the card and finished what I had to do and chased him down and gave it back to him. I probably could've taken that card and got a free meal at any restaurant that didn't require a pin # or asked for I.D. and besides his photo was on it so yes, It's a good thing they ask for I.D. at some places regardless of how much you're spending.

I was just using that as an example but you're probably correct that a chinese dinner isn't on the high priority list of a credit card thief. :lol:

No, like I said, What if someone were trying to use your card? Any place that doesn't ask for I.D. or pin # would be fair game for them to run-up charges on your card until you called the bank and reported it lost or stolen.

I took a coworker's debit/credit card to McDonald's once, and I was wondering what they'd do if they asked for ID or a signature, but they didn't. Shocked me because it seemed so unsecure. I could have stolen that card and gotten me some lunch and no one at McDonald's would have cared. So I don't see a problem with it.

It's easy not to care when your meal was under $10.00-LOL-LOL-LOL_LOL_LOL


Now if you were buying $50.00 worth of Mcdonald food then they may have gotten suspicious-lol

I've done that for my manager at work. I used her card to buy her subway and no one asked for a photo ID or anything.

Hold on, back the trolley up. Your delivery folks there accept credit cards? . That's news to me -then again, I don't get much delivered anymore.

Yeah, I'm just wondering where they'd swipe the card? (Oh god, mental images).

We had pizza the other day delivered from Pizza Hut and the delivery guy asked my husband for ID. Nothing strange about it, I'm glad that they actually asked for ID

ditto. i've gotten delivery from pizza hut plenty of times & never had enough cash around to pay, so i've used my credit card. and they've always asked for id. even though chinese food is cheaper, it's still good that they're asking for id.

Imagine if that chinese food place DID NOT ask for I.D. and just did the transaction? How many times has that placed been burned before by people? The credit card company is not going to reimburse those owners if they did a transaction with a stolen card. If they did TEN transactions like that, that comes out to $100+ May not sound like a lot of money to some, but it is to business owners. Or they probably had something happen before where the police came and so forth, so the owners decided to avoid all that by asking for I.D.

Honestly, I don't know anyplace that doesn't ask for I.D.
