Following the gamestop story, it occurred to me that I find it pretty strange to not have any photo ID, not even a drivers license. It may be just that being able to drive is practically a requirement where I am, so I'm wondering what's it like elsewhere?

I have a driving permit and a college ID. I'm in NY so driving isn't really necessary at all.
I usually have both with me if I'm adventuring outside, especially to purchase something, since they're in my wallet lol. But if it's just a quick errand run outside to like... a convenience store, I may just take cash and not my entire wallet. (bad neighborhood) I can see people not carrying ID if they're planning to run/bus to a nearby Gamestop and aren't using credit or buying AO lol.

 

Edit: Just saw the story and that it revolved around a preorder... Yeah common sense says that you should bring ID incase they ask for it, but honestly the receipt should be enough. If he really doesn't own any, rather than forgetting to bring it, he should've asked about it before preordering. He really should at least have a state ID or something, if he doesn't drive...

I always have photo ID on me. Really, everyone should.

 

But that is besides the point. If you are going to pick up a rated Mature title on its launch date, a person has got to be pretty witless to not expect to be carded. The fines for a retailer getting caught not carding can be pretty steep, depending on the location. Claiming that a customer had a pre-ordered receipt will not get retailers out of the fines, by the way, so it obviously won't be enough for the customer, either.

 

Just to clarify, a student ID would not be enough to pick up a Mature rated title since many colleges also run accredited classes for high school students who are college bound. A government-issued photo identification card is necessary.

 

That is not to say that I agree with that manager's actions. She crossed a line and needlessly so considering the bonehead customer was already walking out of the store.

 

Sidenote: The world is quite small, indeed. I used to work with the (area) manager featured in the video. All I will say in public is that such behavior is not an isolated occurrence. It was only a matter of time such antics was going to catch up to her.

I don't think this topic was all that necessary. Then again, most aren't. Whatever, I'll vote anyways.

I have a driver's license, so I have to bring that every time I go out and do something. I usually keep my ID's in my wallet, so I never really lose it and I bring my wallet pretty much everywhere I go because I have my driver's license in it. My school also gives us an ID. I have a press pass for newspaper, which is kind of like an ID as well.

I've got my Photo ID in my wallet all the time. I leave my Driver's License in the coin compartment of my car. I still have my expired College Photo ID, but the lighting was so crap that day that it would probably be dismissed as unacceptable for say, a police officer.

I actually don't have a single current photo ID of any kind. I could have said my college ID's, but I'm not enrolled at any colleges this semester, so they aren't really "current", then.

Envy, how do you find not having Photo ID? Isn't it a bit of an inconvenience?
