Its nothing to do with my thought patterns its more to do with your inability to understand and follow simple instructions.
The card issuer tells you to sign the card and use a matching signature on the receipt, they tell the merchant to check that the two signatures match.
Now the merchant could follow your personal scheme to validate the purchase and if anything goes wrong I'm sure that you'll be volunteering to cover any losses that the merchant suffers. Or the merchant could just stick with the scheme made by the card vendor and have the confidence that they'll get paid.
I'm just curious how would any vendor lose money by verifying matching name on ID and cards and signature on ID? I'm sure the CC companies have my signature on file. Do you know of ANY merchant that have lost revenues by verifying signature on an ID card?
