Clubs, bars, etc. are a different story. I take it out well before I hand it to anyone for those purposes. THOSE people are not typing down my personal info. They are checking for validity of the ID only.
For those who work in the place in question- you can defend your homeland if you wish, but the moral of the story was 1. that the guy was an asshole (to a CUSTOMER), AND a manager at that, and 2. that he was
not asked or even told, the guy just started copying his personal info. He has
no legal right to it, and is (by not asking) therefore
stealing it, which is a legal issue. You can speak for what you do personally, but overall your policy inspires a very negative attitude in the employees because it forces them to ask a question which most people react negatively towards. You made this asinine policy of enforcing/pressuring it to the Nth degree, YOU deal with the shit fallout.
