I have noticed that almost everywhere you go you need to have an ID card. I needed one for college. You need one for any gym membership. Many companies require you to have one. I am waiting for churches to start requiring one too.
I love looking at there plastic ID card printer systems. They are able to design the card, put information that they find important on the card and print it out in a matter of minutes. When I got my gym membership it was printed and handed to me before I had even finished filling out the paperwork. That just amazes me.
