You call that ID?

When I moved to Texas and went to the Department of Public Safety to get a Texas license, they made me surrender my Wisconsin license immediately...

Didn't you know it's not legal to have more than one valid driver's license? There was a crackdown on that some years back when truckers (some of whom should not have been licensed for a compact car) were establishing residence in more than one state and splitting their violations among several licenses.
Back to the OP, I've seen work ID's (at least one of which was so amateurish--I didn't think it real), another asked to pick up an old return with a Sam's Club card (it has a photograph). A green card (permanent residency ID for not US readers); a FOID (Illinois firearm owner identity document); student ID's at the various colleges and universities in this area.

I have mentioned these before, but they are worth mentioning.

I had a girl I ID'd a while back tell me that she didn't have her ID with her, but would I be willing to accept a photocopy of it? Why she had the photocopy of the ID but not the ID itself, I neither knew, asked about, or really cared about.

Also, around the same time frame I had another girl ask if it would be alright if her roommate took a photo of her ID that she had left at home and send it to her phone for me to look at.

Both girls remained horribly thirsty.

I once had 2 guys walk into the newsagents one evening wanting cigarettes. They could have been old enough, but I am always cautious enough to card if I have any suspicion that they may be underage. The purchaser could not produce id. Sale refused.

They then walked out of the shop, turned around, walked straight back in, and the other guy asked, with valid id.

Sale refused.

He got annoyed that I could not allow the sale because I believed he may pass them on to someone who could not prove their age.

I had the law on my side, as well as a brick sh*t house of a security manager in direct line of sight.

They left empty handed.
