My husband and I, both Texans, were at the car rental counter at a California Airport. The young black woman behind the counter asked my husband for his drivers license number.
He verbally gave the number, a typical trust issue in Texas.
In the way of young black women, head and chin back, shoulders, doing a slight zig-zag, she says “To-To, you ain’t in Kansas anymore, I’ll need to SEE that license”
We got a kick out of that reaction.
The moral? We are as surprised at cynicism as you are at openness.
Sorry but that is roll on the floor funny. Takes skill to turn a required policy that some people can get frustrated over into something funny. Disarming skill.
No sale regarding your suggestion they don't ask for drivers licenses at Texas car rental agencies...Total BS.

Ya would have received the same response from white woman.
Ya see it's not cynicism for a car rental company to ask for your freaking drivers license, just like they do in Texas...LOL!
It's simply common sense...This isn't 1950s America, regardless of where ya call home...
