Hardly anyone ever does. Keep in mind that I have a shaved head, a lot of tattoos, and (frequently) an irritated expression on my face. Basically like someone who should not have a credit card.

I work in retail. I frequently see people who have some form of "Check ID" on their signature area. What's even better is when they get upset when I ask for their ID.
I try my hardest to peek at the back of the card if the customer is using a credit card. If I see that it is not signed or has "Check ID" I will request the ID, and won't complete the order until I'm satisfied.
retail is a funny business, most of the people in it are of mindset where if they can get your cash and get you out of the store faster they will.
I actually had a friend who worked at a liquor store where the manager told him that if underage kids try to buy alcohol he should ask for their ID once, and if they don't show it but then start trying to talk him into selling it to them he should. As crazy as this sounds it's because people who work for regulatory commities only care that you "card" and that people who work for them will only ask once and be satisfied once the seller asks for ID.
I've tried this four times and it's worked four times.
I work in retail as well and if somebodys signature doesnt look like whats on the card i always make them resign, its especially funny when people are in a hurry. I get so much abuse from customers and I just smile sweetly and wish them a good day.
Oh. My. God. This is hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing at the hieroglyphes (spelling....) <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
"Are you really <i>him</i>?" "No, I'm not <i>HIM</i>! <i>HIM</i> is a finnish goth music group (or whatever), while I, Zeus, am a greek <b>GOD</b>. Figure the difference?"
OMG, this is so stupid. Signing with a STICKMAN and people don't care? Ridiculous! I guess the world IS insane.
