The thing which sounded the death knell for any regular shopping incursion was when I was carded while buying a roll of camouflage duct tape prior to a deployment.

Possibly. I think because somewhere in it’s coding was the word camouflage, and it was associated with hunting and evil guns. The self checkout told me to stand by so an associate came and check my ID.
