Back in October, I had to put up with a very condescending supervisor at Carrefour. The cashier, a middle-age woman, tells me that my California driver's license was not accepted, this was the first time I'd find myself in such situation, having always used the self-checkout before. I asked why there seemed to be a problem, she calls the supervisor who tells me they need to see a passport or DNI. I tell her we keep our passport in a safe because it is a mayor inconvenience if it gets lost. The thing is, we had already paid! What sense does it make to ask for ID
after the credit card has accepted the transaction? Then she tells me that she would make an exception this time only. From then on we'd only use the self-checkout.
No self-checkout at Coto, though. I will try showing a photo of my passport and see if that works.
Do you remember where/when you read that the government was changing the law?
ETA: I found a Clarín article published in March that talks about that change:

Now I have to find out if it has been implemented in CABA (the article said that it was in effect in La Pampa, Río Negro, and Neuquén).
