THank you for doing your job.
I'd like to know as well. I'd guess that deals were mush more likely to depend on personal knowledge of your partner, someone you trust to vouch for them, or collateral.Quote:

I could be completely wrong and it was just part of the cost of doing business much like it still is. That is why I'd like to see a study.
I have no problem with showing my ID in the bank. I've been the victim of identity theft and had lots of money removed from my bank account! Got it back but still a pain.
Not in the OP but I fully support ID to vote!
Meh, I dont get asked for my ID in the places I frequent because I frequent them and have become known to them. Other places I get asked for ID.
I use a business card for 90% of my purchases and have actually not been able to use it because the name on the card doesnt match mine, yanno, because its a business card. In those rare cases I simply use it as a debit card and go on about my business.
I have no issues with giving my ID, but some clerks can be a bit snotty when asking for it and I more or less ignore them.
I love this post and feel this way all the time. When I asked for an ID people seem to freak it about it. They try.to tell me they don't have it, well I just saw it in your wallet. So I would love to help you after you show me an ID. People just like to cause problems
I feel that a bank and liquor store it should be expected of you to have your ID
I use my debit card for everything, hardly ever carry cash unless I know I'm going to need it. No one ever asks for my ID anymore, except the girl at the bank, and the guy at the beer store when I had him my debit card. I always thank him for checking.
I suspect there were a lot of cases of fraud, mostly without recourse.Quote:

Fuck! Never mind, carry on.
I'm going with bank teller for the OP's profession.
No one is required to have an ID to walk the public streets. You are issued a license to drive a vehicle on the public streets, and for most people over the age of 16, it has become a defacto ID.
Before ID (driver's licenses) became prolific, most people tended to use cash and they remained in a relatively small geographic area. People developed business relationships where each person was known and their creditworthiness was assessed and granted accordingly. When you travelled (much more rare than today) you used cash.
Bank tellers were always taught to "know your customers." There were two ways to do that. Know them personally, as in your regulars, who are normally business accounts or the crotchety old people always dropping off rolled coins, or check IDs and signature cards.
Want to do business; make yourself known. Either have someone I know vouch for you, build trust through smaller, i.e. less risky transactions. Showing ID is fine, but it is not a cure all for resolving trust.
Everyone who did business with, thought they knew Bernie Madhoff. No one is asking for his ID anymore. He has his very own special number. [Flower]
For voting, I don't want proof of identity; I want proof of citizenship. In my world, passports would be issued at birth to US citizens. They would be upgraded every five years. You want to do business with the government? Food stamps, social security, jury duty, voting, "show us your papers please."
Be safe.
