When checking out at my local Wal-Mart Supercenter last night I got asked for picture ID since I was using a credit card. The cashier said it's a new thing.

Has this happened to anyone else? i.e. is this a local or nationwide policy? Do any other chains do that? Is it disallowed per any credit card issuer rules?

(I was using my Amex SPG but it sounded like they were doing it for any credit card)
