Last time a thief stole my wife's Amex and used it in Hard Rock Cafe. The thief was Malay, using a card with Chinese name, and he bought liquor. The management only reported it after that... and the police said they will see if the thief comes back for his kept liquor and catch him... but of course he never did.
I have used an unsigned credit card in Jusco before. They never looked at the back of the card. What's the signature on the credit card slip for anyway? Can I just draw a turtle there?
In my opinion, all merchants should be particular when dealing with c.c transaction. If they failed to detect the unauthorised transaction, they should bear the price.. In my opinion, banks should investigate whether merchants do the appropriate check on the card or not.. If no checking was done it was same as accepting fake cash..in this case,this are the risk of doing business and should teach them a lesson for others too.. So I praise the management of the Hard Rock cafe for taking the initiatives to report the case..
Again,the merchants should be educate to help preventing the crime..The should check the signature as it was the only means to verify the purchase.. In case of not signing the back of ur c.c, i think it's ur fault if thief found ur card and the used it.. not the cashier/merchant anymore..

True. Most cashiers do not bother to check nowadays.
last time i worked at jusco.. when on cashier duty we are required to look at the signature..if something suspicious we are required to call the chief cashier and also security..i think it still applicable nowadays..
