PO'ed Veteran

[hawkeye08]

I have never been asked for ID for anything in HD, liquid nails or otherwise. I wonder if it is a local HD policy or some new HD policy (been a year since I bough liquid nails) or a law (city/county/state/national)??

Many stores are asking for zip code now. They claim it is know where their customers are from. many folks don't/won't give zip or give a bogus.. the data is garbage then...

What did they do with the information? did the clerk just examine it? or did they enter something into a log?

I get tired of meaningless "policies" and stuff. BTW, thanks for serving!

The storage of information by others about our habits really came into reality the other day when I went to exchange a cell phone with a replacement. With no battery in the old phone, they completely restored my replacement phone by downloading it from the net. Everything I had downloaded to the phone since I got it was added to the replacement phone, except text messages, which apparently aren't worth tracking YET.

I'm sure some give a bogus zip code, but I'll bet most folks give their own. We were full time RVers from Jan. '89 to Jan. '95 and in traveling around the country, occasionally a store cashier would ask for a phone number (a few places still do) and I'd just say, "I don't have one" which was the truth. Back then we didn't have a cell phone or any other phone or phone number. They probably didn't believe me, but no one ever questioned me further.

Funny, I'm a Vet and just bought Liquid Nails yesterday at Lowes, no id required, except a quick glance for my discount. Perhaps you look funny or live in a weird state for them to want your ID for that purchase. Not sure why you drag "veteran" into this problem you had though.

Amazing. And frustrating.
Thanks for your service.
Not having used liquid nails, I dunno if it smells good or not or if one could rot your brain from sniffing it... unclear to me why it would be a "controlled substance." Maybe somebody here on TBN will know.

I guess an illegal alien can't buy liquid nails? Now THAT'S a violation of rights

I have a semi valid zip code, for a nearby university that I use, and for a phone number I use an old number that has long been disconnected.

A lot of times I'll just tell the clerk, "Hey this is a cash transaction, do we really need to go through all this?". Usually if the 'puter system requires it, they'll use the stores zip and/or phone number.

Thank you and all the others that have served. The reason I "draged veteran" into this {I thought was clear} is because I have served this country and helped defend FREEDOMS{or conviences however you want to word it} same as many others. I figure I have a right to say something when I see these stupid laws being passed all the time that just keep stripping us down. I feel our society is slowly being turned into a bunch of mindles trolls. I realize many laws/regulations have a purpose. I just hope others realize many laws/regulations only serve as a way to control, wether it be through the wallet or just plain control.

Oh by the way, I'm sure I do look wierd and I definatley live in a messed up state. The sad part about that is this state sets many things in motion that follows through to other states, just something to think about.

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: They don't need to buy them I'm sure there is some sort of program offered that will just hand them out.

They could follow California and make it legal and then tax it Ken Sweet

I dont understand do you look 14? The clerk couldnt tell your age? My doctors office started with this crap on my last visit. (ive been there for 23 years) I just laughed and she said I had to show it. Well I dont have it its in the car, and if you dont want my business ill go elsewhere. She said it was the policy of the hospital who nows rules them. I told her I didnt. sign on with the hospital I have an appt witht e Doctor...
She said well, I recognize you so your good.
I can understand if I were a new 'customer' but the stupid hospital should allow them to make logical decisions. After all the purpose is to protect my records etc....
I never knew liqid nails was harmful..

Dont worry,
In a few more years you'll just be able to walk in the store, get your stuff, and walk out, communicating through your implant which account you want it to be charged to.

Strange how someone obviously looking older than 21 can be demanded to show proof just to buy liquid nails and it's not only legal and acceptable but let a state pass a law to help ID undocumented leeches and all ho!! breaks out to protect their rights.
Bassackward!!!!!

20 20 the very owner of this website violates your first amendement rights, as we are forbidden to talk about politics and some other topics too. Should we expect a tirade about that? If the biggest thing you have to complain about is showing ID for glue, your life is pretty **** good. Get over it.
