FYI,
All the stores here, scan your driver's license if you write them a check, groceries, toilet paper, the whole bit.

They used to just write your Driver's Lic # on the check, now they scan it. I hate that. Some stores have an automatic debit feature with your check if you don't use your debit card. They don't require me to show who I am, they already took their money.

What I did was put my driver's lic. in a very tight plastic part of my wallet (see through). I tell them I can't take it out, so now they just copy the number instead of scanning the bar code with all my info on it.

I worry too that the store could get hacked and info getting into the wrong hands.

This was never for any drugs or the like. Just general goods.
