Setting - Chevron
Mission - Buy beer
Clerk: Can I see your ID?
Me: Sure (hand over passport)
Clerk: I'm sorry we don't accept passports identification here, they are too easy to get.
Me: (Stammering) Ummm...a passport is the most secure piece of identification that a civilian in America can have. Why won't you take it?!
Clerk: It's not secure! You can buy them at Walgreens!
Me: Mam, you can only purchase a passport photo at Walgreens, not the actual passport. (Muttered to myself as I left WITHOUT the beer because she wouldn't accept it as ID.)

Was this by chance in the Tanasbourne area around 8 ish? I think I was standing behind you.
It was actually in Murray Hill but wow, it happened to someone else!?
I hope they put up a fight like I did :)
You're a little unclear on the concept of "overheard", aren't you?
You're one of those people that doesn't like funny stories, aren't you?
Actually, they do not have to accept passports as ID to buy beer, cigarettes or to get into a venue that serves alcohol.
I have a friend from Canada who has been turned away many times, she finally did some looking in to it, and they indeed do not have to accept it.
Suck, I know.
