Don't Fret- You're identity is safe at the Arctic Circle


So I am running to work after school this afternoon, and feeling a little hungry, so I stop off at the Arctic Circle for some tasty tid-bits (mmm.. love their cheeseburgers friends). I pull up to the window and hand the girl my card... and she asks for my ID. My ID?? Now, I know what you must be thinking.. "Dawney, why were you making such a large purchase at a fast food place that it would require the minions who slave away there to make sure you are, in fact, you?" My total was $3.43. That's it. I smiled, and showed her my licence. I would like to point out here that the name on my licence and the name on my card are NOT the same.. so... not sure what she was looking for, but apparently she found it and proceeded to hand me something out of the window... a miniature clip board with two receipts and a pen for me to sign! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Isn't it common knowledge that you don't have to sign for under like 20 bucks or something? If there is someone who wants to take my card and go to a fast food joint to use it- I'm thinkin that said thief probably needs it more than me and I say "Bon Appetite! my sneaky little friend!"
Moral of the story...
If someone takes your card and goes to Arctic Circle don't worry- the sleuth workers there will nab the fiend!
