It was a dumb argument however it is true that in many cases its easier to vote than it is to buy a 6 pack of beer. And that should never be the case.

14,000 posts in just three years here - most of which is anti-Trump propaganda, but you’re not cult material?

Alrighty then.

Medications and decent women have solved a lot of problems.

At your rate you’ll hit 20k before long.

And most of those posts will be you obsessively diagnosing OTHER people with mental deficiencies.

But they’re all the cultists.

Pay with cash. No cards needed, plus it's faster and simpler.

And when they did their grocery shopping, they either used cash or needed an ID to purchase their groceries.

My overall point is that we don't vote for presidents because we have things in common with them.

Trump isn't exactly wrong for most cases, though you don't need to show it just by stepping into a store. Technically, you need ID on you in case police stop you. This includes when you ride your bike or walk around in your community. That said for the grocery itself it is based on purchases. Buy an R-rated movie, alcohol, cigars, cigarettes, chewing tobbaco or certain medications, you need to show ID. Also if I am not mistaken, using checks too. He is right, but only because of the police aspect.

There's also a number of cleaners than you need to present ID for are they not groceries either? I typically buy them at the grocery store. Same as lighting fluid (for charcoal grilling), get carded for that too and a number of OTC medicines like Sudafed. Beer and wine you get carded for too, and booze, they're pretty much grocery items, unless you're buying something high end and then you're guaranteed to need ID.

I mean the reality is that the items you may buy in a grocery store a very large number do need to present valid ID, either because the item needs ID presented, or you need to present ID for payment. Over the past decade the number of times I've not had to present ID has become so infrequent it's noticeable that I don't have to show ID.

This is mostly accurate. I need to show my ID when I buy things at the grocery store. Most of the time there is some "regulated" item in their that requires me to show an ED, like allergy medicine.
