Because, you know, I live in 1957 and ink pads are everywhere.
- Customer Service Rep (after about two minutes of menus to get to a real person): How may I help you?
- Me: I have a question. I'm temporarily physically unable to sign my name, but need to make a credit card purchase. What should I do?
- Rep: You can use a thumb print.
- Me: A thumb print.
- Rep: Yes sir, a thumb print.
- Me: Well, I suppose I can hope they have an ink pad....
- Rep: Or you can get a power of attorney.
- Me: Ok, leaving aside the irony of solving my problem signing credit card slips by signing a power of attorney, I should make someone go with me everywhere I want to use my card for the sole purpose of signing for me?
- Rep: That or a thumb print.
- Me: Right.
- Rep: Is there anything else I can help you with?
