You need valid id to do any sort of bank transaction. If the teller conducts a transaction without id-ing you, it had better be because a) you are an existing customer, b)at some other point in time they id-ed you and c) now know who you are without having to look at your id.
Google CIP and Patriot Act... you may not agree with it, but banks have to abide by it.

If only all managers could be like you, and back up their staff and follow the law.
The rules are there for a reason, and it's not too much to ask to have a valid ID! The crap people try to pass off as "identification" makes me cry sometimes. Oh, and when I notice someone's ID is about to expire I tell them about it. About 80% gets all surprised and promise me to renew it!
