Tell them you walked and left your ID at home. Say, "I'll be more than happy to leave a urine sample..."

So to them you were just anyone off the street. In that case it's not unusual to card you. I still have that happen once in a while. Usually more than $10 involved though.

Has this happened to anyone else? I have limited time to sort these days, so my pickups are small. Today I picked up under $10 worth of penny rolls and my own bank required me to provide a driver's license. I have never had this happen before, so it's a bit annoying.

Most likely they wanted to verify that you really were a customer rather than just some
guy that had enough info on one of their customers to pose as one to get your penny fix.Sullysullinburg wrote:Shoot I hope this doesn't happen to me because I don't have a photo Id.
I hope you don't smoke then. I've seen and heard from others enough stories of people
that didn't get their nicotine fix and do dumb stuff...stuff that in the wrong place and
time increases your chances of getting shot or at least tased. Much better to ease off
it than go cold turkey.
As for banks I think now a days you need at least one piece of photo ID just to open
a bank account. So even if you already have an account and they know you well, you
could still have trouble if you ever want/need to change banks.

I told them 'No' and they said they couldn't trade me $10 in pennies for my paper $10 bill. I of course asked why not. The teller (who I know has very little knowledge of the inner working of the bank itself) tells me it's just policy. I say to her "all I am doing is asking for an exchange of one form of U.S. currency for another form. How can that be prohibited?" The girl got that 'dear-in-the-headlights' look so I backed off. What gives? It was a local small bank too, not a Bank of America etc. This is not the first time. I tried at a 'big bank' a while back (BOA) and got same response.
How can we keep stacking?
I will find away. Make sure all of you do too.
