I’ve been working in retail for quite a while now. It’s a job that has it good and bad things. But really, I guess that is what you get with every job. With my current job I really don’t like how we have to bother each and every customer. They get annoyed and start acting rude when I really didn’t do anything wrong. I’m just trying to do my job. I ask them for help and they catch an attitude. I ask to see their ID when they pay with a credit card and they huff and puff and then throw the ID at me. I’m just trying to help you people out!

Everyone knows about identity theft but I guess they figure it wont happen to them. Someone stole my moms wallet before and it had one of my credit cards in it. They went charging away. She noticed it was gone within an hour and the damage had already been done. I’m just trying to help other people. If I didn’t ask for ID and their card was stolen the first thing they would say is “why didn’t you check?” You have to be careful at retail pos systems because if you can just go around swiping your card everywhere what will happen if you did lose your wallet? You would be out of a ton of money and you will be sitting there wishing someone carded the person who stole from you. So really is an additional 5 seconds that could save you thousands of dollars worth all the huffing and puffing? I think not!
