I live in NJ. The only stores that require ID in order to get a shopper's
loyalty card are for those who want to use the card to cash their checks.
I have never been asked for identification when I sign up for such cards
because I do not use them for check cashing. That includes supermarkets such
as Superfresh, Acme (i.e., Albertson's), Shop Rite, and also drug stores
such as CVS. I also use my real name and address and never has anyone in
a black suit visitted harm upon me as a result of my honesty.
