Carded

[NYlakesider]

You mean like the check or credit card you give the clerk, or the scan of your face as you enter the store, or the scan of your plate as you enter and leave the parking lot . . . ?

From what a good friend that is a senior SP officer says. There is a lot of info that is on your DL. Add that to your picture and its a lot more than what your mentioned, all in one easy second. I guess its sort of like the old line in many movies, its ''a need to know basses'' and there is a lot the store does not need other than for them selling more info to the robo/spam gonifs.

Do they ask for ID when you vote?

I'm going to be 78 in a few days but I was recently carded when I bought a bottle of Gorilla Glue. Go figure.

If the insist on an ID, maybe we need to start showing them our MediCare card.

I’ve been asked for my id several times. When buying cigarettes at Wawa when I smoked. Buying Sudafed or paint. I always ask is this for my senior discount.
Sometimes I’m asked “ do you have an ID?” In my best dumb voice I answer
An idea bout what.

I just got back from Kroger. Among other things, I bought hooch and some beer.

The self-checkout attendant came over to validate my age, took one look at me and approved the sale.

I's nice to deal with someone who has a firm grasp on reality!

You must look really really old!

In Illinois, Walmart also asks for ID to purchase fuel system cleaner. Though, in my case, one look was sufficient.

I don't know what SP means. All I know is your credit card coupled with your face scan is a lot of information, which is at least what your DL has, and maybe more . . .

Unfornituely your right on that there is way too much information on the move.

Rather surprised as your a x cop I believe, SP is a well known abbreviation for state police. In my friends case it also could be NYSP (New York State Police)

On occasion I'll get asked for a birth date for smokes, that's a clue they just got bagged for selling to a minor...and part of their punishment is asking for the birthdate of EVERYONE! When it happens, I just have some fun with it. No ID check, they just ask for a birthdate, so I'll toss out a date that makes me 145 years old...sale approved, the gadget they type the number into lacks the ability to know there aren't any 145-year-old smokers out there...and the clerk just grins.

I would not last long in Ill-Annoy. The taxes alone would make me move.

Or there could be new ownership. When I lived in Maryland there was a bar/restaurant near my house that had just been sold to new owners, and they were carding EVERYBODY. When the young hostess asked me for my ID I busted out laughing because I hadn't been carded anywhere in about 20 years. She got kind of flustered and said to someone on staff, "He's laughing at me!" I told her, "No, I'm not laughing at you. I'm old enough to be your daddy, I'm probably older than your daddy." And I did promptly pull out my driver's license.

In this state they are required to check, failure to do so can result in legal action. Its the only way the state found they could actually get a handle on sales to underage drinkers. I had the store manager of the local Safeway ask me the other day "Your old enough aren't you." I smiled and said "Hope so." I mean it does seem silly when someone is as old as I am, I've been buying beer from grocery stores since I was sixteen. Didn't get carded until I had gotten out of the Army at twenty-two, had my leg in a cast and stumped in the back door of a dive bar to buy a couple of quarts to go for my brother and I, he was managing a car wash across the alley. I got refused service, went back to tell my little brother who was nineteen, he went and came back with two quarts of ice cold Millers.

 

[S-W4EVER]

Funny, as a kid in TX I could buy beer at 16. In WA they scan my DL every time I buy alcohol without exception.

Legislate to the lowest denominator and this is what happens.

I disagree completely. Not to the lowest denominator but passing new legislation to justify their pay checks.

I don't smoke, or drink, and Florida has not enacted any ID for ammo I'm aware of.
I reload I recall once having to show ID for bulk BP order.
Of Course, ID & BGC are required for firearms purchase (& 3 day cool off wait)
Show a valid CCW and the 3-day wait is waived including ammo with same purchase.
I never been carded for OTC cold or Flu/Covid meds.

The only time I was carded, was to show my B'day for a free "day of" gratis meal at
Golden Coral.

 

[ACORN]

I once had to show ID to buy nail clippers.

My wife and I and another couple went to an iconic, now gone restaurant/bar in the Oakland district of Pittsburgh. We got our food and went upstairs to the bar to eat and drink.
Guy at the door carded everyone except me. I asked “You want to see my ID?”
“No, you’re old enough Pops.”
I was crushed.

On the other side of Acorns story…. I started going to this club in the city I was raised in called Troubadour. This was back in the days of country bars with mechanical bulls. The bouncer at the door every Friday night would card people he thought were underage. I started going there on Friday nights when I was 19 and never got carded.

So, the night of my 21st birthday my eventual first wife and I went there. He carded her as usual (she was about 14 months older than me), and then waved me in. I stopped and asked… “Why don't you ever card ME?” He says “You’ve been coming in here forever, I know your already 21”. I said ”What if I’m not?” So he grins at me and TELLS me to show him my ID. He looks at it and looks up with a very surprised look on his face and says “YOU SON OF A BITCH!” and then wished me a Happy Birtdhay and bought me a beer.

Different days...
