Interesting, got more info? Which corporations provide the ID card? Are retailers legally obligated to ask for it? Do retailers get fined by the gov't for every non-ID'd transaction?

This _could_ be taken to mean that Tesco employees get a 20% discount if they flash their Tesco ID card, which sounds completely normal to my American self.

If you don’t get a Tesco (Major U.K. corporation) ID card scanned at the till you get charged a lot more for your food.

This is normal customers, not employees.
