Sorry in advance for the noob question.

Is it normal when doing a cash (moneygram) purchase of bitcoins, to have the Moneygram vendor ask for two forms of ID?

I didnt buy many bitcoins, but I am still waiting for them.

This was at a Walmart in the USA, I printed the bitcoin-->email confirmation sheet with all the receive code and account number, went to Wal-Mart, filled out the bottom portion of the blue moneygram slip (they dont have a moneygram phone or terminal) and the woman was like...WHAT is this?  WHo are you?  What is this for?  Are you paying for a car or mortgage?  I told her, "I am using cash to make a payment to this account."  She called the manager, he looked at my printout, they conferred for a bit, did some work at their terminal and then said...OH, yes, we can send this through....but still asked for two forms of ID!

It is partially my fault for living in a country redneck bum-fuck part of the country.

Thankfully the guy behind me in line was drunk and trying to return an obviously very old DVD for cash (LOL probalby for meth or beer,) fortunately his ranting and raving took their attention off me and they forgot about asking for the ID!  But I dont want to go there again if this is not normal!

Thank you in advance!
