We're wary of strangers who might possibly be rats for the city. Just make a photocopy of a card to show them. The template is all over the internet. It's not our job to determine if your papers are real or not. We just need to see something so we don't get fined. Some places want to see your ID as well. That's actually not legal unless you're purchasing alcohol and appear under 21.
I tell people sotto voce to just show me their phone. No one's allowed to approach customers and ask them for their papers. Only reason I even do that is because of all the Karens out there looking for a report to make. Stasi cunts.
You too
