Not so fast my friend. Everything I have in my wallet has James listed on it. On my first trip for a new job, I was handed a ticket with Jim, which is what I use in everyday circumstances.
The ID checker asked if I had anything with Jim on it, and after a momemt of shock. I remembered that I have one credit card that was inadvertantly issued with Jim.
She accepted it, but it hasn't happened again. I am sure that Delta or a supervisor could have rectified the problem. But in that one instance -- at MGM -- it was a hassle in the making.
