You know on the back, on that little strip where you're supposed
to put your signature? Mine says, "Ask for picture ID."

Yeah, but half the time the card doesn't enter the clerk's hands. You
swipe, punch in a zip, and back in the wallet it goes. Now what,
coach?

I didn't say it was a flawless system, and was rather commenting
upon the presumed rudeness of a shopping clerk asking for picture
ID before running the card. I was pointing out that not only did
I not find this behavior rude, I in fact encourage it.
Perhaps I was too subtle. Please accept my apologies.
