I don't like it when a store scans my driver's license to buy alcohol. I stick to small convenience stores without that tech.

Why would they do that? What's the use of scanning it?

It keeps liquor prices down because you get the extra revenue from selling the scans. Try to keep up smh

You're the product. The alcohol is just the lure.
