I use my DL number all the time without pulling it out. Most places
trust that if you got the number in your head, they really don't need
to
see the card. Especially folks like grocery stores and banks that know
you... Yes, the grocery here uses the DL number to id you if you don't
have your courtesy card with you, I never have it so...

I don't usually need my driver's license for much more than getting on
an airplane. The bank is happy if I swipe my debit card and punch in
the pin. I am not sure why I would need any ID at the grocery store,
they don't card me for beer anymore.

If you don't know why I would use it in a grocery, you did not really
read my post Try again, that's why I went into that explanation...


You still write checks? God, man it is the 21st century.

I write maybe 5 checks a year. Usually for some specialized gardening work,
where he wants to be paid right after the work. I also don't use my debit
card except for gas. There are many fewer consumer protections for debit vs.
credit cards.
