I want moisturizer, not a lecture, please.

I thought Visa's rules were that see id isn't valid and they would have to sign it. Then if unsigned, check id and then have them sign the cars. I think.

IIRC, debit cards use a pin when you swipe em. So even if the sig doesn't match, if the pin is correct, then it's correct...am i wrong?

You're right.

What makes me wonder about the world is that now credit cards have that little "security" chip in them, which requires a pin number.

For the last few years, every store I have gone to has asked for picture ID when I use a credit card. With the "security" chip, very few ask anymore.

If I believed in conspiracy theories, I'd think that the CC companies got together and decided to bring in the new chip so that CC theft would increase (over the short term while people got use to the new system) and they'd be able to charge big penalty fees again.

You were nicer then I would've been. I would've decided not to buy anything based on her attitude and made her take everything off and put it back on the card.

Ok, I've only ever been in a Lush location once, and it was probably 5-6 years ago. Since everyone is ranting and raving here, can I get a comparison to The Body Shop? I take it that their products are a step up? I'm really annoyed that The Body Shop stopped doing refills, so I'd like some alternatives (I know it was a long time ago, but that was one of the big point of the founder, so it really bugs me that they stopped).

On occasion, my mom has let me use her debit card for household purchases. All I need to do is enter the PIN, no signature required.

This is why at any store that I don't have to slide the card myself, I hand over both my ID and debit card.

If some twat wanted to give me the riot act about signing my card, I'd be happy to tell her to cancel the transaction, and I'd be more than happy to go shop somewhere else. If proper ID isn't enough and I have to be lectured, I'm not interested.

Arrested? Lol..ok, that associate must have really needed a break or another fix.

I would have instantly asked her for a refund myself. "You know what, if you really want to be a bitch, I think I'll return this now. Give me my money back, I'll go elsewhere."

I like the solid shampoo for when I travel by air, I use it as body soap as well so I don't need to bring anything except my scrubby gloves and shampoo puck, and I carry along the black toothpaste [i like the way it tastes and it is tiny so the tsa nazis don't get their panties in a bunch]

Lush! Lush! Lush! Lush! Lush! Yaaaaay!

I discovered Lush right outside of Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. And the folks in there were SUPER nice. It was like a party in there. I went there four times in one week. You know what they have in the MB suites? Soaking tubs. And I had Vegas throat real bad and needed steam.

Yeah, people. www.lush.com.

Guess what most of the skirts on my list are getting tommorow? Gift boxes from Lush. My whole house smells like a Lush store. I can't get the smell of Shiney, Happy People out of my nose. Not that that is a bad thing.

I am kind of shocked that the clerk would give you such attitude. I can't imagine being in such a foul mood working in a place like that. I wouldn't hold it against the store...but I would tell her off specifically if it happens again. It's not her place to grouse like that to customers. Either take the card or don't, but nobody needs to be dressed down by a stranger for something that isn't their business.

Go in there and tell her to give herself a good long soak with a Rainbow Worrier bath bomb. That ought to fix her right up.

Huh. She's going to drive away the customers before they're even properly opened!!!

[Sheldonrs]

"Her: *shoves my bag* Here. Have a nice day."

And I wish the same for your gynocologist! He must spend hours working on a huge cunt like you!

I was asked for ID exactly TWICE the entire cross-country round trip, once on each leg, at the same place (a little gas station in Ohio). The cashiers would even turn the card over and read the back, they choose not to ask for my ID. Rather than kvetch at every little place I stopped, I called my credit card fraud protection department and told them about the experience.

Most of the time I just had them my card and my ID no matter what type of transaction I am running. Just saves me a hassle. Also I know when I was working the counter... some days You just get frazzled and aren't paying much attention, so when you flip the card to look at the back... it's almost like "oh look... letters... they must have signed it"

...but across the WHOLE country.... yeah... bad bad.

[Cat]

I have never heard of Lush, but now I feel a need to track it down.

That cashier was waaaaay outta line. geeeesh.

[Amina516]

I love Lush x3.

I get hubby a great moisturizer that works wonders for his eczema...but its freak'n $25!! Lol.

The cashier needs a happy pill.

[lupo pazzesco]

I love Lush!

But to me, it's a once in a great while treat that I can barely afford to get regularly. Hmm...now I'm contemplating going to their website after the new year...

Back on topic, wtf? Seriously? So quickly switching between happy, and grumpy, then snarly, I wonder if she might have a personailty disorder, or if it's just a lot of stress to stock a store. Weird.
