Safeway food stores has this neat little glitch in their shopping database that is just ripe for abuse and litigation. When you pay by check, your information is recorded and stored in their computers, so the next time you go in there and try to get out your ID [for your check], they say "Don't bother, we have that information."
So if Joe bad guy gets ahold of your checkbook, writes a bunch of checks, let's say, over a weekend, Safeway doesn't care because the computer sez your account is Kosher.
Nonsense. Of course they care, because they will have to eat the bad check, not you.
Hopefully, someone will have this awful thing happen to them and sue the Shit out of Safeway for being so negligent. [ irrevelvant rant against Safeway's hiring practices ] . . . I only wish I had someone steal my checkbook and take Safeway to the cleaners.
And what, pray tell, would be your cause of action? Why don't you just pay cash if you are so bothered? S a n d y
