Not Even I Would Do This For Pancakes

I love pancakes. Actually, I adore pancakes. They rank up there with cheeseburgers as one of my all-time favorite foods. I usually order them whenever my parents take me out for breakfast and my mom just made me pancakes before I left Sunday even though she hates them. But what the I-Hop in Quincy, Massachusetts tried to do to customers is so insane, I wouldn't even do it for a short stack of their banana nut pancakes. Just to be seated in the restaurant and order, customers had to hand over a photo id. The policy of requiring customers to turn over their driver's licenses before they can order was a rule that was thought of to discourage "dine and dashes". The policy was put into act without corporate headquarter's permission or knowledge and has since been eliminated. When I open up my own pancake house, no id will be necessary. No one will be stupid enough to leave my restaurant without paying for their meal.
