Not here, I shop at Fry's Food which is owned by Kroger.
Hell, I always use the self checkout and half the time they electronically release it from across the area using their little electronic device. But then, I'm 66 years old with an obvious head of silver/grey hair....

Meijer has been doing this shit for a while. I always just ask them to enter the birth date manually and they comply...so far.
This is all just data collection and revenue. All businesses now must harvest data and sell it to be competitive but I'll be damned if I make it easy for them. Honestly, Meijer has been kind of shit for a while and this year we have only been doing about 10% of our shopping that we used to do with them. |

If you haven’t had yours scanned it’s because you’re literally a dinosaur. This is common practice in the US. Even in conservative states.

If they swipe every card regardless of age then they have records of age verification compliance.
If I had a place that sold liquor or cigarettes and there were age laws I’d do this too. Why jeopardize your business on a lazy or criminal employee. |

It would be a shame if you went through the checkout line with a full basket of groceries, mostly perishable. At the very end after everything else is scanned, pull out a six pack of something or other from the bottom basket rack. Then refuse to have them scan your ID. If they continue to demand it tell them never mind, keep your stuff. Walk out whistling.
 Never had that happen here in TX at Kroger. |

It would only retain your date of birth, and even that can be disabled.
It potentially takes different setups for each state, and some states have laws that come into play, so you might not see it for the same retailers in different states. |

No seriously, sometimes the stores that have been popped by TABC do that so they can prove the age of everyone who made a purchase. Yep, keeps the state Alcohol Board out of their business for the most part concerning "of age" testing. The kid caught a fine for selling to an underage person at the restaurant she worked at. It was someone that had routinely purchased there. The owner new it and condoned it. The buyer had got caught somewhere else. The state used that individual too nail several local establishments/owners/servers. One of the local bars around here had a bar code reader for your DL when entering. Green got you in the door, Red you were turned away. A good friend got turned away before midnight. Walked back in the door just after midnight and like magic, he became "legal". |
