Sorry, the point I was trying to make is that it's been so long since I've been carded that I didn't even know they could scan your license and get any information from it. I certainly don't see the point of it, unless they plan to send you unsolicited crap.

Well,it's my understanding it would or should hit Walgreen marketing of their corporate database first, they can derive a pretty good composite profile of that stores customer base,*average* age,sex,distance they live,products purchased, how much is spent per visit( I was dropping anywhere from $50 to $100 per week there), prolly then it'll be sold to other interests,,,it really fuzzed me up,Broo_O

I can understand that. I'm sure you'll be getting ads and offers in the mail too. If that's their standard business practice, and the scan is used for anything other than verifying the authenticity of your license, it doesn't seem like something they can legally do without your consent.

Kind of stuck in my neighborhood.

If I want to be any kind of liquor...I have to do so in the local rite aid (still rite aid name although I think Wal greens bought them).

Years ago we had an ABC store to buy our liquor in but that changed to the local rite aid.

Ya,Bro! I know the feeling,,,there's a Circle-k convenience store a couple miles around the curve heading deeper into town that's got the liquor license to sale my preferred choice of beverage,although the price for a 5th of Jim Beam is only about $2 less than the price of glass handled big jugs I USED to buy at that local Walgreen's, other than that I'll just have to update my scheduling to frequent the local "Total Wines" outlet and ,,,er,,,push a cart,,,,as it has the best prices on the items I'm shopping for,I generally snag a giant jug of the Bulliet Bourbon & Jim Beam,,,one in each hand,in-out nothing flat,,,I've even employed the ol' #22's jump step in facilitating my navigation thru the milling 'wine connoisseur's " to expedite matters in my booze gathering forays.

They pulled that crap on me in Scottsdale, Arizona about 10 years back. They wouldn't accept my DC Drivers License bc it didn't have a bar code to scan. I was about as livid as you were bc I thought they were just toying with me. I walked down to a mom n pop store and bought some beer but they did relay it was real thing around there. "Well....still!!" :angry:
