I couldn't find the topic that discussed about having to show I.D. for everything no matter your age but anyways we went to the store (big nationwide chain) and she bought a product that required you to be over a certain age, the only way the transaction could be competed is by putting her date of birth into the computer. I guess they are covering their

so they don't get

again by not asking.

I had that happen too, I don't remember where I was. But they had to put in my birth date to complete the transaction. I didn't much like it. It seemed very intrusive.

they don't HAVE to put it in...I know some cashiers at a nationwide supermarket and when I buy beer there(yes, I am 21)...they just hit another button and it shows up on the receipt as "cashier verified age" instead of my DOB...I think they just have to cover them selves, as rocksurfer said.

Well that's what it does at every other supermarket I go to as well. But when she tried doing it at this store, wish I could remember what it was. Might have been a Super Walmart. It wouldn't allow her to continue the transaction, and gave her some weird error message until she would put in a date. I should have made something up.

That's the place.

ah ha! I'll have to try there again and see if they do it again. I'll complain about it.

I don't think I've ever seen beer or wine sold at a regular walmart either. They just finished supersizing our regular walmart. I thought it would be cool at first to be able to get a bunch of shopping done in one place, and it kind of is but it's a PITA to do the grocery shopping.
The aisles are so packed I ended up parking my cart, gathering items from the aisles and bringing them back to the cart. I mean it was total grid lock with carts!
It's nice to have the convenience, but definately need to go on off hours.

That's pretty lame.

I hate it when they ask for my zip code. I'm sure they are doing this so they can determine where their customers are coming from so they can build another complex in the future, but for instance at our Best Buy they always ask for my zip code, and I just make one up. As long as the first 3 numbers are the same, I could be living anywhere in the county

I've never had a Walmart or Superwalmart ask for my zip code..I think the only place that I shop that asks for my zip is Ross

my best buy asks for my phone nunber evrey time i go I just say NO

Lady Di · « **Reply #12 on:** Jul 10, 2005, 09:36:39 AM »

I've had a lot of stores ask for my phone number. I never give it out.
The look on their face is precious when they ask "can I get your phone number"? and I respond, very friendly, with a smile and a shake of the head, "nope" . They just don't know what to make of it. Then I'll turn to the person behind me "You don't have to give your phone number".

I only give my phone number like at auto parts stores for warrantys and stuff like that. Well, and grocery stores if I don't have my club card with me

I'll give it to auto parts stores for the same reason, but no one else needs it. When we had a land line it was unlisted so there is no way we were giving out unless necessary. Now we no longer have a land line so I'm not giving my cell # without good reason.

So what you are saying is that you are a hot chick?

I guess I figure that most of my information is easily accessed for any common criminal so why worry about zip codes and birthdates.
