Haha, you'd think but they get it wrong often and they'll bend things for you. It's why I can pick up other people's prescriptions for controlled substances with nothing but my ID at pharmacies I've never been to before, why I've transformed a no-refill into a refill (they just read it wrong) while another person had to call the doctor for the same outcome, etc.

People everywhere are not really bound by anything. They will bend anything for me. Even immigration. In the past I even flew through a place where I needed (back then) a transit visa I didn't have with a passport damaged beyond identification.
