I had something weird come up recently.
Went into a gas station, bought an age restricted item. Was not ID’d. I end up having to replace my debit card multiple times per year sometimes because of fraudulent charges, etc. and can never keep track of my PIN. So I ask the cashier to process it as credit. He suddenly started asking for ID and wanted to record it. I’m guessing it was some sort of anti fraud measure but it was somewhat awkward.
- psychometry 6y agoYou shouldn't use a debit card for everyday purchases. Use a credit card since it offers you far more protection against erroneous and fraudulent charges.
- Milner08 6y agoWhile true, outside of the US credit card usage is not as common. Many of my friends don't use them, I barely ever use them. The only time I ever really think about it is to get bonus points for airlines.
- psychometry 6y agoYes, I'm aware, but the person I responded to is very obviously from the U.S. or Canada.
