I just watched a girl walk into a Verizon wireless store with cash and was told she could not buy a phone out right because she did not have ID on her. Why would that matter if she has ID to purchase a product in full?

When you buy a phone at a Verizon store, (particularly third party retailers or authorized resellers) it typically needs to be linked to and activated on an account. You need ID to verify that you are the account owner or have authorization to make the purchase for that account.
A corporate store may let you just buy a phone off the shelf without activation, but I would contend that there are better (less expensive) ways to pay cash for a phone.
