No ID required. You do not need to show an ID.

How long does it take to do the "shopping"?
The length of time depends on how busy we are and how many people are waiting ahead of you. The busiest time is right when we open, from about 9:00–9:30 a.m. During that time, the wait may be up to 30 minutes.
Once your name is called and you begin shopping, the process usually takes about 10 minutes.
