Well, I hope that I have solved my problems. A new Sam's opened up nearby. I joined for a reduced cost membership, $17.50 for one year. They have photos on their cards, so we each got one. They said they 'required' all of our DL numbers. No way! So we got the new form of photo ID's without giving out one more bit of information.
At DFW, 'Not-so-bright' has been looking at ID's and tickets....abuse...soon they will all be gone away!
