When I moved from the East Coast I was shocked at how much they demand to see ID here in NM! In fact, I have been asked for ID when *returning* an item for credit to my account! I refused every time. Once I called the clerk on it and asked why would she need to see ID to give me money? A few Walgreen's have signs stating "Valid photo ID is required for all credit or debit card transactions" Yes, they were serious because the clerk asked for my ID as I was typing in my PIN!!! I replied that my PIN number was my ID but she was insistant. Had to get a manager about that one. He gave me the old "it's for your protection" line So I replied, "Thanks, but I don't need your help because I carry a gun for my protection!" Suddenly I didn't need to show ID.
