    What is he on about? He’s been saying this occasionally for 5 years.

        A possible explanation in the comments - maybe the last time he bought groceries was in the 70s and he paid with a check? Sometimes they’d make you put your drivers license number on the back.

          Well, I suppose you need ID to get a job to make the money to buy bread. You also need it to open a bank account to be able to cash checks or deposit money and get checks/debit card in order to buy bread. If you aren’t working and are on welfare, then you need a valid ID to collect the various benefits including the food EBT…

            You need ID to get a job as a chauffeur and drive the limo to the store to pick up bread for the boss who just got peckish in the middle of the night

                Not just the 70's. Some people (mostly older folks) still pay with a check, at least down here. Now, at Wallyworld and some stores, they just run your check through a reader and it instantly deducts from your checking account. They then hand the check back to you.

                But at mom&pops, like the gas station or the burger joint, they want to see your driver's license number, either on the check or the actual license.

                      Yeah, I bet that's what Trump was referring to. I bet he's got a ton of friends who do that.

                        Maybe I'm the only one here who's ever been asked to show ID when using a credit card at the grocery store? It was a not uncommon occurrence in CA. I don't think it's happened in TX.

                        Education is extremely important.

                            Nope, you're not alone. It's not happened to me here in Illinois, but in New Orleans, you betcha.

                            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                  True. George has Lithuania blood which, to us WASPS, seems a little, well, ethnic.

                                  I don't know Horace's excuse. Must be the look in his stone cold eyes. Or maybe the bunny costume.
