Yep, I've seen a couple of these. I even used one to buy my dock and
a set of headphones since the Apple store wouldn't sell them to me
unless I showed them my driver's license, which I don't carry on me,
and wouldn't show to them even if I did.

Hey Lewis, were you using a credit card or writing a check at the Apple Store? If not I can't imagine why they would need to see your license for headphones and a dock. That's nuts.

Yes, a credit card. Apple brick and mortar requires a photo ID to
use a credit card, so I went to the vending machine and used a credit
card without a photo ID.
