Why is it … you and 10 of your closest friends can walk into any nice restaurant in town (as far as I know) …have a nice meal … hand them your credit card … and have them accept it with no questions asked. Then you pull through the drive through at the local KFC… order a $10 bucket of chicken wings.. hand them your credit card (same one that just bought that $400 meal for you and your 10 friends)… and have them ask for your ID?
Is it the clientele? The lower profit margins on fast food? A sign of things to come?
Welcome to my little corner of the web. Sit back, relax and, enjoy the show.
Beacuse they are violating the credit card acceptance rules. They are not allowed to require ID!
Report them. 1-800-Visa-911 for Visa. Ask to file an incident report because the merchant required supplemental identification.
Or for MasterCard, call 1-800-300-3069 – option 1, 3, then 0. Or go here: http://www.mastercard.com/us/personal/en/contactus/merchantviolations.html
