My husband never remembers his PIN number for his CC so he always has to sign. Things are probably different over there though.

Someone buying a hamburger with a stolen card...? With a card they "borrowed" from someone without asking...?

Let me rephrase the question.

"Like, dude, if you are on a late night munchie mission because you are, like, stoned off your arse and are too baked to remember your pin number, claim to be, like, "tired" now. We will sort out the money thing for you."

I have worked nights in a convenience store.

I only know the pin of my debit card. Not for any of my credit cards. I never use them with the pin, I see no need to remember a pin for them. I sign or swipe and go.

Sonic is mean. When I drive there, I can never read the menu. I am blind but they don't care

use the braille one. It's usually on the waiter's face.

I read an article that this is all the new thing, walk in burger joints that take 6-8 minutes to provide a 'higher quality' custom made burger.

I try not to use my card as a debit, so on those rare instances when its my only choice, I sometimes have a difficult time remembering my PIN.

I have never used a pin number for any of my cards.

Hey, I had dinner there Thursday night. It was an OUTSTANDING hamburger, I actually thanked the crew for such a delicious meal after I was done. HIGHLY recommended.

I have cards that can be used as either credit or debit. I do not ever use them as debit, so I don't know my PIN.

Used to as Sonic when you chose "no" (because i was too lazy to type in my pin and for a few years I didn't know it), then it would just go straight through as debit. Now when you choose "no" you have to put in my zip code instead. Same thing at gas stations when you use credit. So, at least they are verifying your identity in someway. I guess if a person knows the area of a city you live it could be easier to guess your zip. Not for me though since I don't live at my billing address...
