Can none of you believe that some states and some business have different requirements. That some people have never been asked to show ID when using a CC and some people have. Good grief.

I have never been asked to show ID while buying groceries with a debit or credit card and I am 54. My wife has never been asked, my friends have never been asked, my co-workers have never been asked. NEVER in any state that I have bought groceries have I been asked for an ID. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.

Trump specifically said that you have to show ID to buy groceries. He lied plan and simple.

He didn't lie in my case. I do indeed have to show an ID when using my CC to buy groceries. Not only where I live, but where I've traveled, as well.

Very true. It seems that those who voted for Trump have to show ID when using a CC. Everyone else (the vast majority) don't.

So it would appear.

I have been and I'm 56. My friends and co-workers have. So as I said people have different experiences. I do not believe you are lying or anyone who said they have never been asked to show ID is lying or that because of my experiences they must have had the exact experiences. Why do you not understand others have different experiences as you.

If you choose to take everything everyone utters literally and definitively and keep your knickers in a bunch over it that is your right but IMO you would be happier if you did not.

It seems that cashiers have a stunning ability to spot a Trump supporter in order to card them.

Do you have a link to that poll?

Honestly, a lot of New Yorkers go their whole lives without driving. It's such a PITA to keep a car there, unless you're really rich.
PITA to drive in Manhattan, rich or otherwise. One time that Executive I worked for wanted me to buy a tie at Brooks Brothers for his BIL's birthday, 3 blocks away. Gave me money to take a cab! Oh, no, I can get there and back faster WALKING. I told the store clerk that I was Mr. V's Assistant and to put the charge on his account. The Photo ID people would be horrified, but I did it all the time when he wanted me to buy items for his private life and parties. "The Donald" didn't do this as well?

So every time you buy groceries, every time you buy toilet paper, you have to show your ID? I highly doubt that. That is what Trump said, every time you buy groceries you have to show an ID.

I wonder if this guy ever bought groceries in his entire life. Probably not.
You do need one if you pay with a check.

Yeah, we all know the whole "you might maybe, possibly, sometimes need an ID if..."

Doesn't sound like a good analogy for voting laws. Only some people would need an ID to vote? But not always, and it might just depend on who is at the polling station at that time? And it might only be for those who look like they shouldn't be voting? Nope, not how it should work.
