It’s not just Target. I remember walking past an upscale club a few years ago and there was a line of people waiting to get in. What really stood out was that the staff was electronically carding everyone’s license with a hand-held device. And everyone was just sheepishly going along with it.
Yep. I've seen the same thing. The patrons were in their 20's. You can imagine how uncool it would be for one of the group to say, "I'm not going in if they're going to scan my license."
The people running the joint struck me as unsavory. It's closed down now. Maybe they have enough data and now live in Aruba.
