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.
Yeah, there was a time you would verify the cards weren't stolen. But that was usually store policies.
It was always a business policy, not a government one like the requirements for buying liquor or cigarettes.
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.
Who knows where he got it from. He's never bought his own groceries.
Sure but he does consume media, presumably he saw a show where they did a credit card check or some shit.
He said the same thing in Season 1.
He must have seen the response to it then so he forgot.
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.
You think he's ever bought his own groceries?
No but I know he watches brain rot TV and probably has for decades. Something will make its way into his empty fucken skull.
What decade was that? I could see how Donbald's brain might be frozen in some decade like the 1970s or the 1980s.
90s to 00s
