I get my groceries delivered about 30-50% of the time nowadays (I've got 3 preschool aged children and trying to do a big shop devolves quickly!) and I have never been asked.
I've even done grocery pickup with the Walmart service where they come out to your car, and their policy is to only ID if you're making an alcohol purchase.
With that said, when my husband was in the military, yes, we needed IDs for the commissary.
99% of the time at other local grocery stores though, no ID unless I'm purchasing alcohol, which is almost never nowadays.
He's not ahead of his time... he's probably never set foot in a grocery store to actually buy groceries.
You may not show an ID right then and there but to get that privilege you showed ID to someone at some point. How do you think your ATM card goes through?
Cash exists, but most people don't use cash to buy groceries. Cash is only used to pay for 23.1% of grocery sales. Credit/debit card or check payments are used for 69.3% of grocery sales, hence the much increased incidence of having to show one's photo ID.
That's something you need to do to purchase groceries?
And I've never had to do that for any loyalty programs. If I was required to do that and didn't have my ID on me, I'd simply purchase the goods sans loyalty program. Guess what, I'd still walk out the door with my goods.
your loyalty card when used identifies you..... if you don't use one and pay cash, sure you don't have to show ID
If what he says doesn't hold true for purchasing groceries, why should it hold true for voting?
Goodness... Do people not understand how analogies are supposed to work???
Keep taking him literally. It's conversational and everybody gets it. I don't want politicians who have to look down at their notes to say Good Morning everybody.

You MIGHT need to show ID to use a check, if it's even accepted. You MIGHT need to show ID if you use a debit/credit card, even though it's rare. You absolutely DO NOT, under any circumstances, need ID to buy bread, eggs, milk ie groceries
Yesterday, I bought a bag of shrimp, a loaf of fresh bread, some cream, straw berries, ice cream, bell peppers, garlic, some lemons, white wine for deglazing and linguine and nobody asked for my ID.
They just asked if they could come over for dinner.
Trump is not invited.
according to the law, they were supposed to ask you for ID to prove that you are old enough to buy that wine
