You sure she wasn't just flirting with you?

Being carded at such an advanced age can be annoying, but I usually thank them.

Look, I get that alcohol is age restricted and even the self checkouts make a clerk ok the purchase. Works for me. Even on Sunday.

And I understand that over the counter cough syrup and allergy meds aren't over the counter any more and why. I'm ok with that. You might as well add Skittles and Arizona Iced whatever to the list while you're at it.

But being carded for a 4 pack of BiC lighters that were on sale? Or a can of spray duster? What am I missing here?

The cashier wasn't surprised when I declined to buy the 4 pack. She told me that's what most people do.
