Government owned Super markets? When did the feds buy them out? Please, spare me the BS. When you accept government assistance, it comes with strings. Since when is showing ID a burden to anyone? They need to show the same ID to receive the benefit in the first place. The law is in place to prevent fraud ... a common occurrence ... and your problem with that is?
"government owned super markets" was a deliberately absurdist comment
complete with a nod of the head to how things used to be in Soviet Russia.
you might show ID when you apply for welfare, but you do not need to show ID to buy food.

Cigarettes and booze sometimes require ID, because of age limitations.
I agree that the government owned super markets should be better policed
like they do in Russia with their central planning
