I have. 8.4% of groceries are bought via paying with a check.

Dear Angry, not all citizens have state issued I.D.s

That's probably what's confusing you.

Also, you may want to consider not smacking your head so much. It does not appear to be helping.

If a person buys beer or wine from a grocery store you are carded. Trump was correct, again. #MAGA #KAG

I wonder if this guy ever bought groceries in his entire life. Probably not.
Democrats NEVER need to show ID. Not to fly or buy a drink at a bar.

That was in 2013. Your link is showing how payment methods have changed since 2000. You don't think they've continued to change over the past 5 years as well?

Alcohol and cigarettes are not “groceries”. Trump referred to groceries. Few people have access to commissaries.

I go to groceries stores like Sprouts, Safeway or Fry’s (Kroger) to buy things like milk, bread, fruits, vegetables and meat and I do not get carded when I use my debit card.

Trump ran his mouth without thinking, again. He was exaggerating (and lying) as usual. He does that a lot.

I don’t know why people even pay attention to him. They should just ignore him.

Maybe on Staten Island. Not in Northern Virginia. Trump was wrong again.

Not always. I'm rarely carded when I buy alcohol. Actually, I'm only carded when I go to Total Wines because its store policy to card everyone no matter what they're buying. But even then, I'm only carded about 50% of the time.

But at the grocery store? Their policy is to card anyone under 30. That leaves a lot of people not being carded.

How would that work for voter ID, only carding certain people?

“You know, if you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card. You need ID.” Donald Trump

This is a lie.

All sorts of people buy groceries without a picture I.D. Seems like 91.6% of shoppers do it all the time.

Those who write checks could instead get the cash to buy groceries. They chose to use a check. Their choice.

But they could certainly make another choice and buy groceries without an I.D.
