Sure, but the excuse is then, "I had everything stolen! My phone, my wallet, etc. I just need to get my phone back so I can pay my rent and get an Uber to the DMV to get my new license." Then if the clerk says, "Sorry can't help you until you have an ID," you freak out and start yelling and the manager comes over and says, "I'm so sorry sir, let's get this worked out," and does whatever you ask him to.
- PeterisP 9y agoNot happening in EU - since in such a case the company not verifying the ID tend to get liability for losses, all companies have policies where such managers are prohibited to do so; they would be risking their own money (and job) for giving you stuff without proper authorisation. I mean, as soon word would get out that some company allows that, they'd be exploited for free stuff in large amounts; all of the obvious loopholes have been tried and plugged in the last couple decades. USA has the problems only because they treat it as "stolen identity" instead of "someone defrauded a company with fake ID", and don't have proper universal IDs and try to make do with a mishmash of driver licences, names, addresses, SSNs, etc.
