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.

I got carded on My 40th Birthday when I ordered a Margarita. The Waitress might have been 22 years old. I laughed and said “You just made My day !!!”

Absolutely period. I go in and ask them, and if they scan IDs I go elsewhere without buying anything at all. The store has absolutely no legal right to do that. States only require a checker to visually verify. Or enter ONLY your birth date manually. NOT scan it for a permanent record of ALL your information and who you are in the store’s system.

That is a “rule” they themselves invented to gather data and it should be illegal. And they always falsely claim it is a state law they have to do that, or that they have to because they are protecting themselves. BS, Human Checker verification is ALL that should ever be required period.

As Scott Mc Neeley said back in the 90s, “You have no privacy, get over it”
