Chip and pin!

<< < (3/4) > >>

Sooty:
As you are all discusing chip and pin (of which I am not a fan) and I know there are some very clever brains on here can somebody answer the question I keep on asking but never answered "why don't they put a mug shot on all credit and debt cards"
Then I can look at the card, look at the the presenter and say "this is not your card and therefore I am not willing to exept it"
Then if a group of 15 approach you they can only make you draw cash and that will never be stoped.

datalas:
because it would cost money, more money than reimbersing the people which are mugged...

Manicminer:
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of counter workers(shop staff) who NEVER actually look at the slip of paper before shoving it into the till.
Out of the last 10 purchases I did (before having a Chip & Pin) only 1 checked the signature :roll:

LOFTY:
When it comes to staff not looking at slips, and cheques for correct signatures, it would seem that unless a cheque is over £5000, they dont check it. I have to sign batches of cheques for my business, i have even put M Mouse as signature, and it still went through. Only once have i been called for a cheque over £10,000, where they said the signature looked strange, i wasnt in the office, and a member of my staff said, "well its a large cheque, he was most proberbly shaking as he signed it", and they let it go through.
rather worrying i think. :?

iianorthants:
ever noticed in tesco's you can go through the express lane with anyones card as automated and dosn't ask for pin or sig !!!!!!!
