Today, while ringing up a girl, I asked for an ID to verify her credit card. She said she forgot it but pulls out her Facebook on her phone to show me it really is hers. FML

Hey it got posted! This girl was around her mid 20s. I work in a souvenir shop in Vegas and company policy states to verify credit cards with photo ID. With debit cards all they need is their PIN. Credit, all they do is sign but c'mon, anybody can sign the name if it's stolen. Right after she does this, I couldn't help but to burst out laughing. Can't anybody just go and change their name on Facebook anyways? She got a little irritated but I'm sure even she knew it has to be an actual ID. I wouldn't risk a write-up and tell her it's fine but she paid with cash and all was good!

That's how they verified me when I forgot my wallet at the mall. They asked me to pull up my FaceBook.

This isn't an fml situation. She's an idiot, but there isn't really any reason to feel sorry for you.

I have had this idea for a while but I don't know if it's already done - where you can have an electronic equivalent of official ID and documents that should be available to you and approved by the government and other institutions. It should be secure enough and that, like online banking, is verifiable through you and alerts you to access and activity. I'd like something like that and OPs customer would have been better off with something like that. Nothing fancy or too detailed, just secure identification that loads quickly and proves who you are. Is there something like this already? Or is it too 1984 perhaps?

They're already working to make sure everyone gets microchipped and you can get anyone's info by scanning their arm/hand or whatever. Very 1984. I don't like it.

I had this happen TWICE at my hotel! People are seriously reliant on their Facebook and smartphones.

I went to a bar in a fairly big city and only brought my drivers licence. I was very surprised when I said I hadn't brought more ID the bouncer ASKED me to open my Facebook as a "second piece".
