The four other times I had to show it no problem at all except one lady wanted my DL not my CHL while I was ordering drinks at the bar. I told her I could not understand her because her accent was so heavy and asked her manager to come over. I told him if it is good enough to get me on that plane it sure is good enough to accept for an adult beverage purchase... All went well after that.

IANAL, but I'll bet that wouldn't be constitutional. Banks pretty much make up their own rules when it comes to why and when they check your ID. Your option is to change banks, just like you did.

It would be convenient when two "photo" ID's are required. I went through an experience with a check written by my renter. I presented it to the bank teller and initially they refused to cash it with only a TDL. I stood my ground all the way up to the bank manager and they finally cashed it. Then they demanded my right thumb print which was pretty stupid because I was wearing a compression glove and arm wrap and it was quite obvious I couldn't comply. I offered my nose print. I don't take checks any more. Sorry to highjack.
