Dont worry bout signing ur Credit Card

I went to do grocery shopping after a long time. Normally my roommate takes care of it. But after such a long time Ive time, and some cash in the bank to go with. After spending like 30 mins I kinda filled up my cart, and knowing Ive to carry everything myself all the way to my apartment I decided not to walk back to the ice-cream aisle. At the counter I charged with my newly received credit card. I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card. She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she explained that it was necessary to compare the signature I had just signed on the receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared the signature to the one I had just signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they matched. Afterall as a friend of mine recently reminded me Indians are much smarter than Americans, be it in any level, its absolutely true.
