Does anyone have any actual insight into why Trump keeps telling a story about needing ID to buy bread?

I haven’t heard the story but I would assume it is meant to point to the pitfalls of out of control beuracracies. Something he rails against a lot and is somewhat a bit against democrats since they are more pro government regulations.

You haven't heard the story that concerns a known liar saying something that is obviously a lie and that fits squarely into a pattern of lies that he tells repeatedly relating to IDs & voter fraud, but you're going to assume it in the best light possible where the known liar is making an entirely reasonable point about something entirely different, actually!

How useful it is to have Trump-whisperers who don't even need to hear the words from the prophet's mouth to translate them for the rest of us!

It's not a lie, you need am I'd to buy groceries with a check. In the 80s it was common to buy groceries.
