Do not try to purchase alcohol or tobacco products in Walgreens or other related stores - they scan your driver’s license and share the information with the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation.
I have no problem producing ID proving my age for age restricted purchases - I have a serious problem with the store retaining my information for payment from another entity seeking to deny me my rights to purchase said products.
That happened to my wife about 10 or so years ago in a wallgreens in Ca. We were buying a pack of smokes, and they asked me for my ID. I had seen them swipe the previous persons ID so no way was I going to give them mine. I made a stink and my wife gave in and let them swipe hers.
For the next six months she got boat loads of junk mail for her to “quit smoking”
Now, unless the cops want to see my ID or I am buying a gun from an FFL, My id stays well hidden in my wallet.
I buy smokes at Walgreens all the time and have never been asked for an ID. It wouldn’t do them any good to swipe mine the magnetic strip was erased when it got too close to a powerful magnet.
I bought a bottle of wine at Walgreen’s in Oregon yesterday and they didn’t scan my driver’s license...
