Walmart wants to SCAN my drivers license! WTF!?!?
I was in the Walmart on the north side of State College, picking up cat food and shampoo and I decided to waltz over to the sporting goods and grab 4-5 boxes of Winchester 100rnd value pack 9mm. As usual, nobody was working there, and after dinging the bell a thousand times, somebody finally showed up at the counter.
I told him I wanted some ammo, and he said, "I need to scan your drivers license." I asked, "What the hell for?" He said for proof of age. I said, "Uh, you can look at it but you can't scan it." He insisted on scanning it for anyone who looks 27 or younger. I told him that's bullshit, I'm over 40 and I look nowhere near 27. I said NO thanks, and walked away.

Looks like a source of inexpens... I mean, less expensive ammo has dried up if they institute that here.
I'm not giving them anything to scan.
That said, how hard is it going to be to get folks to accept the "REAL ID" thing?
If you want/need something badly enough, most will comply.
OK, back on topic...

I would have to say, "Prove it" to their claim that all they scan is your date of birth and nothing else as the article says. Your Social Security Number is on that strip and they have no business with that at all. How many times do you hear in the News that "Once again someones' laptop computer was stolen with all their customers personal information on it" That's the information they need to buy a $100,000.00 motor home in your name.
Welcome to the test run and "make you comfortable with scanning you" Mark of the Beast.
Want cheap ammo? Reload and get much better than you can buy for less than the cheap stuff.

Re: Walmart wants to SCAN my drivers license! WTF!?!?
This was one incident at one or two WM stores. I purchased a few boxes of 9mm ammo from the Wilkes Barre Wal-Mart on Thursday and they never even asked for my ID.
Like I said, there is a human element that we need to consider here. The guy selling the ammo may have just swiped the DL because he believed that was the right thing. When all stores start swiping them for ammo purchases (Dicks, Gander, Cabelas, WM, and others), then lets start to worry.

In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a way for them to tell if you are over 21 since the people that work there can't add and subtract.
