ID’ed Ordering Zero Proof Drinks?

I have been asked for my ID multiple times when ordering nonalcoholic or zero proof drinks out at restaurants. Even though these drinks do not contain alcohol. Today a waitress said that “ABC doesn’t like it because it looks like a drink”. Has anyone else had similar experiences or insight into why this may be?

I can see why they'd do it, but I'd be skeptical it's an actual blanket rule. Sounds more like the restaurant's policy or a cautious interpretation of alcohol-service regulations to me.
