someone pm me and asked what I meant:
if you try to buy beer, wine, spirits, nicotine in any form or cold meds from Kroger they will ask to see your id, then they will grab it and scan it with their grocery scanner without your permission.
in most states that will allow them to capture more than enough info to steal your identity.
they claim that it does not, but they lie. (otherwise why would they get so butthurt if you refuse.)
Also they have no real data security.
They claim there was a memo, and then make up stuff about what it said. I read it, and the stuff they make up about what they think it said is so laughable.
kinda like “Totally Safe and Effective”
I had to sue RiteAid also, that was much easier cause they are under a current consent decree for failing to have data security.
Cold remedies containing pseudoephedrine are federally regulated. It’s even regulated internationally.
Interesting—when I am asked for proof of age I just point to my bald head—everybody cracks up laughing and I am good to go!
I don’t by alcohol at Kroger stores anymore after they implemented this policy.
Other stores don’t waste my time with photo ID bullshit, so I use them instead.
