Got carded at tractor supply....

Same thing here when I purchased some chain lube at TSC this week. I think I'm going to start giving them the wrong birth date. 2/29/1901 sounds like a good place to start.

I wouldn't be too hard on the cashier. It is probably store or corporate policy. I've been carded on paint before. 65 years old.

We (my nephew, age 50 and I age 68) got carded at a sports bar in Auburn Hills, Michigan last summer whilst the ladies were shopping.
Apparently the place got caught the week before serving under-aged, so they had to check every patron... dead or alive. :confused3:

didn't know they carded for chemical purchases too...

I think the cash register computer automatically demands an age verification for certain items. Then the clerk has to ask or be reprimanded for not following policy.

Don't blame the clerk.

I refuse to give them any peronal information. I tell them to get the manager and I just stand there until they do. Manager is going to get tired of that pretty soon.

I got carded at TSC buying a can of SeaFoam. When I asked the cashier why she said "They make meth out of that stuff". To which I replied "well no wonder my chain saw runs like a banchey, will it cure ED?"
The ole doll was at a loss for words.......

Don't blame the clerk who is following policy to keep thier job.

Same here, I set two cans of spray paint on the counter at TSC yesterday & the clerk asked my birth date (I'm 65 & show it), she was probably older than I am & has worked there for several years. I told her to keep it & I'd buy my paint elsewhere. She made up a date. Only reason I was getting it there was that Menard's only had two cans, I wanted four. Like stated above, don't blame the clerk, it's not their doing!

I won't buy spray paint at Home Depot for the same reason! Obviously, these places don't trust their employees!

Last week I bought groceries including beer - at a store I've only visited a couple of times over several years. I was born during WWII. I used my new style chipped credit card.

The clerk didn't card me but the register receipt showed my correct DOB.

DOB must be encoded in the card.

Beans can be rather 'explosive'. (personal experience :yes

Good one!
