It’s actually an honor Featherduster! I got carded the other day buying a pouch of chew. I’m 51, don’t look a day over 40!

I know that Dollar General policy says card everybody--no matter how ancient-- for certain things. No card, no sale. If they don't do it they get fired.
Age requirements are one of the ( far from the only) biggest downsides to self-check at least at wal-mart. Half the crap you need--glue, paint, various cleaners, even a lot of stuff like BBs, the machine locks up and requires an override, negating any supposed convenience.

Some places will scan your ID....but you can refuse that, and they can refuse to sell to you also.
Choices....

What got me is a tobaco shop requested to scan my license and I refused. Said the could not sell yo me with out the scan so I walked out and left every thing sit. I'm 66 with a white beard. Not gona scam my license in to a computer system. |

Checking out at Walmart the “watcher” had to come over and clear it for me to buy Super Glue. The question was “Is the buyer 18 and over?”

Back when I was 20, I went to Walmart with a friend and he was buying a 6 pack of beer (I don't drink) but I was carded. They refused to sell to my friend even though I wasn't checking out with him. Weird times.

Weird times. They once asked for my son’s ID when he was with me when I bought alcohol. He wasn’t even old enough to have one yet. It was ridiculous. |

Shopping at Wal-Mart and got carded when I purchased a can of SEAFOAM you must be 18 years of age to purchase. I am offended....some may call it triggered. I bought a can of sea foam from rural king yesterday and they didn't even look at me funny. I know I am not nearly as old as FD...I got a white beard but come on man! |

I think it’s only a Walmart policy as I’ve bought it from auto parts stores and never been carded.
