Refusing to provide ID at WM is a good way to attract attention to yourself and what you are doing.
Being asked once for an ID is not a big deal. It is when you start getting asked for it every time you go in to buy a MO is when bad things start to happen.

I would just put this WM on hiatus for several weeks prior to going in to buy another MO. I would also make certain that you are not dealing with the same CSR. If you get another request for ID on a <$1000 MO, I would write off that WM. (And I would leave without providing one knowing that I probably would not be returning for months at a minimum).
