Dear Editor,
Employee theft is rampant in The Bahamas. It is not uncommon for individuals to seek employment at certain businesses just to facilitate theft and corruption. Consequently, it annoys and disturbs me when local cashiers demand identification and telephone numbers when I produce my credit card for payment of goods and services (however miniscule).
However, when I shop in Florida, identification is not required or requested. We live in a corrupt society with too many criminally-minded individuals in sensitive positions.
With such information, a crooked clerk/cashier/waiter/manager can fraudulently use your card and severely damage your credit. My question is, are Bahamian merchants allowed to record your personal information? Who in authority is protecting the consumer?
