I always give the cashier both my card & ID. Mainly because I have used the card so much the signature is unreadable. I agree that it is great that people actually check signatures.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Some people will be caught if their signatures don't match up. Having been the victim of theft and identity theft, I'm all for another screen, even if it doesn't catch everyone.This is another one of those procedures in contemporary society that is annoying, frustrating, and worthless. Just like airline gate searches, checking credit card signatures is totally ineffective. How can you expect an untrained Cub employee to be able to spot a forged signature in 3 seconds (or even 30 minutes)? I remember that when I worked as a bouncer it was sometimes impossible to id people from their driver's license pictures.
In any event, it appears the West Broadway Cub doesn't deserve to be singled out on this score.
