"you can't have a credit check without a driver's license"

Over in my own journal, I post about my failed efforts to purchase an iPhone. Very short version: I am told that they can't do a credit check without a drivers license. When I point out to them that I have had plenty of credit checks without a drivers license, and lots of disabled people don't drive, doncha know, they hang up on me. Stay classy, Apple!

That kind of makes sense, but seriously? I didn't buy an iPhone, but it was a smart phone. They shouldn't make it that hard to get a phone. I don't drive myself, but I use my state ID in it's place.
