Never let anyone electronically scan your ID for ANY REASON. This is becoming a trend with buying booze, tobacco, and even if you use a card as a credit card instead of a checking card. And they will swipe it under the scanner without even telling you they are going to do it. Once scanned too late. It is now permanently in their system and a security risk going forward. Aside from the fact they might even sell your data. Looking at your ID is one thing, electronically scanning it is a huge no no and no one should ever allow this period. This new trend needs to be squashed...
Agreed 100%
Medical settings are the worst: they act like they have a right to demand to scan your license. My biggest fights are with receptionists.
One of the problems is it is almost a swipe you card and
go process in many places now.
A few years ago, I got annoyed when a grocery store cashier scanned my license when I bought a six-pack of beer, so I put strips of electrical tape over the bar codes on the back. It’s ridiculous enough to check my DOB (I’m 69 years old), but they don’t need any of the other information.
