    You don’t need an ID to buy groceries, but you better have an ID to walk to the grocery store. Otherwise, folks with no ID whatsoever will kidnap you without due process.

      I vaguely remember as a kid my parents being asked to show their ID at the grocery store when paying with a credit card. I think they were checking that the names matched.

        What decade was that? I could see how Donbald’s brain might be frozen in some decade like the 1970s or the 1980s.

        Wait is that where Trump is pulling the grocery ID shit from, I kinda remember that being a thing for cards but I knew it was just for cards. Did his stupidity and/or dementia fuck up that concept so he now thinks you need an ID for the grocer.

          Back then, where you normally would sign on a credit card, many many people would write “see picture id” instead.

          Honestly, if 1 of 50 checkout people asked for a picture id, i would be surprised. No one cared then either.
