What did you purchase? Maybe it was something needing 18 + years old and he didn't think you were.

it was a simple $7.99 necklace i dont buy anythin like smokes or anything, its funny next time they do it, on my most polite way i will ask 'why'

i work at teh gas station, so i'm handeling credit cards all the time, i watch for signatures, i watch:

-the speed of the signature
-the likeness of the signatures
-and the reactions of teh person
     -typicaly if they tryt to snach it back fast i make it very clear that i'm watching there signature

-but i've never had to ask for ID on a credit card, just smokes and lottery

next time someone asked you for id, ask them for there ID

its when they consider appropiate, in home depot they always ask for it... funny , when i went to south padre island (i go very frequently) my father and i went to the walmart, we bought food, and my father some miller six pack.
i carried the six from the cart and handed it to the guy and he told us we could not buy it because i handled it, and my father told him why, he reapeated the same crap, my father told him to call the manager, he said that it was because they thought i was not his son and that i gave him some money for him to buy the beer from me, my father shows my visa to him and he apologizes a few time and we stfo-ed them and we bought the beer
kida offtopic
it may be discrimination , gringos hate us latins

but they ask even before i sing, i would think it be right if they do it after i sing so they can compared them but i just hand out my card and they're like "can i see your ID too.''  im like  ¬¬

They just take some precautions obviously. If I were you, I would not mind because you obviously have nothing to hide.

For those who ask, yes I do have a debit card, and yes it is at my name and yes I can do whatever I want with it.

Not to start any flames but I have not yet heared of a bank that allows you use the money as you want, anything you do with the money should be asked to your parents, then it can be used (for 18 and younger.)

citibank

i opened my account when i was 17 but i needed someone older to sing in with me in case i went around writing checks with no avaible balance, now that i am 'overage' i can have the account by myself, i guess i get this kind of stuff maybe because i dont look like im over 18,

i know it depends on the time and place where you report it but i mean, if you ask someone why not ask everyone for it right?

Maybe because the other person was a regular customer? Or like NiteMare said, they check other stuff apart from your card... I am always asked for ID on every purchase, except for food in some places...
