In the early 1990s I was checking out at a Best Buy in Uptown Minneapolis. A distinguished older gentleman was ahead of me, wanted to pay by check. Cashier asked to see ID as the assistant manager rushes over, "Don't do that!" The gentleman laughs softly, pulls out his driver's license, the cashier make a note on the check. The man takes back his license, picks up his purchase and leaves.

Assistant manager to cashier: "Don't you know who that was?" Cashier, looking at check: "Walter Mondale. Why, who's that?"
