So depending where you live I guess, but where I am you can order alcohol through UberEats and the like. You have to show your whole ass ID to this random driver who takes a picture of it and uploads it to the app, and who knows, maybe saves it to his phone too. Now this random person has all your info. Full name, date of birth, a picture of you, whatever important ID number that is on the card.

They also have your address through the app and likely your cell phone number.

So this happened (which is what prompted this post):

The driver last night (who had delivered before when I ordered wine with my dinner and he took my ID that time) was delivering me a pizza. He texted me it smells so good and he wants… sorry no, he said he will come in and eat it with me. I texted him right back and said “oh no, WE don’t want to share our pizza with you lol” like laughing it off and implying to him I’m not at home alone.

Now I guess when you show your ID elsewhere the person can memorize what’s on it, sure. But this whole taking it and putting it in your phone forever doesn’t sit right with me I’m realizing. What are your thoughts and experiences on this topic?
