You're right, I would much rather not have them ask for proof and just accept that I am who I say I am. I am willing to deal with the backlash that is going to occur when somebody steals my credit card and goes on a spending spree, at least I know that my driver's license number is safe...
seriously, this is a security procedure implemented for both yours and their protection. That is what the DL# is for! Its a method of verification. Most places do the same thing when you write a check. Nobody will be able to access your bank accounts with that number or send you spam, or drain your retirement fund. If I were the clerk, I would have let you go ahead and go somewhere else.
