Find out why they withheld one customer's credit card and ID when he asked to speak with a Customer Service Manager...yikes!
When Steve went to Wal-Mart to buy "Rock Star" for his daughter, he reluctantly presented the cashier with a state issued ID  containing just his picture, name and signature: Steve's job is to consult with law enforcement about identity theft, so he's more careful than the average bear. For one thing, he only likes to show his state issued-ID.
The cashier, however, refused to accept it as a valid ID, and tense negotiations ensued. When Steve said he'd call corporate about their ID checking policy, the cashier refused to hand back Steve's credit card or ID until Steve spoke to an in store CSM. That's right, after he complained, the cashier held his credit card hostage. Check out the gory details by clicking here...

From the land of the dentally-challenged, could this be a sign of financial things to come in the good ol' U.S. of A?: The Bank of England is on the verge of taking action to address the increasing reluctance among mortgage lenders to lend money in the wake of the  credit crunch.
It is waiting for Government approval to take over mortgage loans that are sat on lenders’ balance sheets, in order to increase liquidity in the money markets. It is understood that the Bank would grant Government bonds in exchange for securities backed by UK mortgages.
The plans coincided with Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s trip to the US last week, when he met with banks on Wall Street. This came one day after he welcomed proposals made by UK banks to help ease the credit crunch and confirmed that the Government remains in contact with the Bank of England to find a way through the crisis. Some are wondering out loud if a similar plan might end up in the laps of our own Federal Reserve as they try to bailout the increasing number of failing banks and mortgage-related banks.
