This is a staggering story. This jobsworth closed the doors on her because she forgot her bus pass the week before. Despite knowing that she definitely has a bus pass because all pensioners in the UK get one. Just a total loss of humanity.

    You can get a state ID, sure but most people don’t. Drivers licenses are the primary form of ID here. I wouldn’t say it’s “expected” but, depending on where you live, it would be unusual to not have one as your primary form of ID if you’re of driving age. And prior to that age you usually don’t have a need for ID

      Sure, you are correct, but nobody bats an eye if you present an id card instead of a driver’s license. Hell most people probably don’t even notice the difference. OP was implying that not having a driver’s license is somehow more difficult than having one and that’s completely false for the US
