Ok, and I admit right off the bat that I got a teensy bit annoyed about it, but the end result was good!
Yesterday I stopped in a store here in our town just to look and shop a bit, retail therapy, I guess. I've been shopping in this store since it opened here in 2005, and in branches of it in three other towns. They have neat clothes, and good prices.....I've been known to drop in our local store two or three times a week. And I use my debit card 99% of the time. Yesterday, out of the blue, the checkout girl asked to see some ID. I told her no she couldn't, that I was not walking all the way across the parking lot and back in the scorching heat just to show her my license, just to void the sale and put the stuff back.
I don't mind showing an ID, mind you, and if I know a store will ask, I always take it with me. But to suddenly start asking for it, for petes sake, put a sign up at the door or something (even though after years in retail I know that most folks can't/won't read them). Funny thing is, after I got back in my car and started thinking about it, I got madder and madder, lol! Don't know why it annoyed me so badly later, but by the time I got home I was just furious
