Nobody is going to go through all the effort of getting a reservation, traveling to a restaurant, getting to the front desk, and then storm out and ruin their entire dinner plans on principle just because they were asked for ID.
> I wouldn't be surprised if most don't even carry it around with them.
I highly doubt that people are bringing their credit card but not their driver's license when going to a restaurant. Why you think anyone would arrive with a means of payment but not a 10 gram ID card is beyond me.
