Just when you think....

.....You have heard it all... a new one.

A guest of one of my hotels just called me from a restaurant on the other side of the island. She said they forgot their Credit card back at the hotel and did not want to pay for the cabs back and forth to pay the bill. Could we tell the manager of the Restaurant that we swiped their card when they checked in to vouch that the card is good. Really?
because a restaurant in the caribbean has no reason to swipe a card, they can just take phone calls all day listening to strangers vouch for card holders that the credit card is good?
I am going to try this at Macy's in the fine jewelry counter. I don't actually HAVE the card, Just call my friend and he will tell you that the card number is fine. Do people not know how credit cards work? You must swipe and the signatures must match? Not having the card sort of kills the whole party. How do people think this will work? I must be the crazy one. I swear they just keep surprising me every damn day. Citizens of the world, you grow dumber every day and then you call me!
You cannot make this stuff up!!
