ABC now cards everyone, regardless of age, appearance or whatever. AND not only are they carding you, they could give a damn about someone who was clearly 21YO 3 decades ago, so they don't even look at the ID, they now "gun it" into the register.

Isn't that cute! Wonder what the chances are of that li'l nugget of info gets passed along to others and potentially bad actors.

I don't go often, but it'll pick up once tailgate season comes around. Others provide much of the spread, sides, someone with a grill etc, I bring the coolers of ice and something tasty to mix. When I'm buying a 100 bucks of booze every week or two, how long before I get a freaking knock on my door from someone?

Nah, I'm just paranoid. They're not actually watching us 24/7...

There was a grocery store here that did that. Seems they got busted selling to underaged buyers from the State Alcoholic beverage Commission and got heavily fined so this was their reaction. Everyone got their ID scanned for alcohol or tobacco. It was in place a little over a year and they eventually closed the location.
