I often get asked for photo ID when using a credit card for purchases
over some small amount. Guy at the tire store asked for TWO photo
IDs,for a $78 charge.
And the gas pumps where I buy gas ask for my zip code.


You maybe look like a thug? Live in a though neighborhood?


59 yr old bald guy,with white goatee. my neighborhood seems pretty non-
thug.
Although I was in Orlando for the tire store.That's gone heavily
hispanic,with the resultant crime increase.


Sometimes AMEX needs the zip code punched in, but not all the time.
Never had to for any card using gas.

Don't recall ever being asked for another ID but I may have been.
Could be because I look like Tom Sellek people get confused. Yeah,
that's it.


in my younger days,people thought I looked like Lee Greenwood.
