The issue with spray paint is because of huffing and tagging. Kids buy paint then go tagging, get caught by police and say they purchased it at ABC Hardware. Then police go see ABC Hardware about selling spray paint to underage folks. These laws were put in place because people in certain communities were tired of the vandalism created by delinquents. So society created this. We are unfortunately part of that society. When we get shitty with the clerks and store managers for doing their job following the law WE pushed to create we are being narrow minded. Huffing is a whole other issue. I had an incident with a huffer. He was in the process of kicking a female police officers ass when I and 2 friends intervened. He had already taken her nightstick away and things were fixing to get really ugly. I don't know if an id check on his purchases would have helped there but you never know. Maybe junkies can't produce an Id like more responsible citizens. |

If there's no age law on the book in any specific state I seriously doubt they are checking id's. There's an age minimum here in Texas on spray paint. I am not aware of one on butane lighters but there may be. Check your state laws. |

Are they actually "looking" at the ID or "scanning" the information into a computerized database ??
If it's the latter, tracing accumulated purchases are being tracked like they do with certain decongestants. Take it from there, as to how the information is being used. However, I continue to stand by my previous statement as to: WHO THE HELL SHOPS AT TARGET ANYMORE ?? |

Why is showing ID such a monumental issue? I have the same feeling. Sometimes it is a pain in the ass though. I worked as a cashier for a while and it was store policy to always check for ID when age restricted items came across. I had to turn people down several times over spray paint and other stuff like that. Just a way to cover the stores butt if somebody does get a hold of something. "Did you check their ID? No? then it is your fault." |

I said no thanks and that I don't need them that bad....It was the principle of the whole thing... Why the fuck would i need ID to buy lighters? IIRC you have to be at least 18 to buy a lighter because it's considered dangerous, and probably because it's a smoking tool as well.

Why is showing ID such a monumental issue? It's not that showing ID is the issue for certain things. It's that the nanny state a its extension into nearly every "socially responsible" business wants to limit or control nearly every aspect of life today. ID for lighters, propane tanks, cold medicine, spray paint, booze even if you look 50+, tobacco even if you look 50+ (and you will receive the woeful stare of victims of your vice). Hell, I can't buy a toilet that can handle my power dump in one flush so am forced to flush 4 times wasting more water. The $40 LED light bulbs burn out just as fast the CFL's that were supposed to be a God send over Edison's great invention. If they are so concerned about energy ask algore to hold off on his $10K/mos/mansion consumption. Solar power has a rate of return after I will be long dead and my 4 year old has begun collection social security. For that matter wind in just 43 years after installation will actually still have a zero sum add to the power grid as the turbines are only expected to last 30 years. Most people need to myob and get back to work. Most people need to not reproduce and stop repeating the stupidity cycle.
If you hate it here in America that much, reach down, grab a pair if you can find them, pack your shit up, and fucking leave. And there it is. A loyal subject of the State tries to use scorn and ridicule to shut up an American citizen. Piss off.
A lot of them surfaced in this thread. |

Stopped in at target last night and while standing in line I saw a 5 pack of Bic lights for $4.99...good deal, and though I am a non-smoker I like to keep some of these around the house/vehicle/emergency supply box... Cashier got to these, and asked for ID and that she needs to scan my DL for them.
I said no thanks and that I don't need them that bad....It was the principle of the whole thing... Why the fuck would i need ID to buy lighters? FFS you showed them lmao |

I'd show my ID with name/address covered up, but I'm not about to let anyone scan it into their system. Really? You think your info is getting scanned in? Lol the only thing it does is show your age, that's it. Years ago I was bouncing at a club for a side job. They use the same scanner and it does nothing but show age. It's just checks and balances so no one screws up their math. You people need to loosen up the tin foil. Lol |

How old are you? It's too bad we can't turn the clock back to 1966 for all the members here that were born in the late 70's and later. They all would be amazed at the lack of nannyism. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Why is showing ID such a monumental issue? Next men in black leather trench coats will be going down the aisle of public transportation, saying ''give me your papers". Slippery slope It's a clerk at a local store. Fuck, and people think I'm paranoid How old are you? It's too bad we can't turn the clock back to 1966 for all the members here that were born in the late 70's and later. They all would be amazed at the lack of nannyism. 26. I just don't see the issue. When I get asked for ID I am friendly, show them without it leaving my hand and I'm very polite. I wouldn't let it be scanned either, but I see no issue in just showing it |
