For the bookstores, I ask if they give an educator's discount. They all have a card they give ya.
Most want some sort of proof that you homeschool. If you have anything from registering with your school district or something that would work.
In my state we don't register with anyone or have any paperwork that proves anything. Many people print their own homeschool id card on their computer to use as proof. I prefer to go the hard route and educate the employees on the fact that there is no real legal proof that I can show them. They usually tell me that most people make up their own card. To which I reply, "what does that prove other than the fact that I have a computer?" They've always taken my word for it at that point.
