From: "Barry Shein"<bzs@world.std.com> A friend would print in block letters in the sig area of his credit cards "ASK FOR PHOTO ID". He said that almost always cashiers et al would give a cursory glance like they were checking his signature and say thank you and hand him back his card. This seems like an altogether excellent time to haul out *this* old chestnut:

FWIW, My cards have always said SEE ID, and I get about a 40% or so hit rate on that. It's been odd recently, cause I sometimes forget, and the privacy reflex kicks in and makes me want to say "Why??" :-)
