I think this might explain why some establishments would be cautious about selling alcohol. However, I don't think I would allow a convenience store clerk to record my personal data just for a beer. It should be remembered that most store require a Driver's License number to cash a check, so I guess it might depend on what data was being recorded.

I would be more afraid of identity theft more than anything else. I haven't been ID'd in ages and I'm only 32. Anyway if that happened to me, I'd just snatch my ID back and go to another store. I mean there isn't just one place to buy beer!

Clerk began writing down details of drivers license, "We can't sell beer without it"
Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | July 26 2006
A reader writes to us to relate the story of a 44-year old man who was not only asked for ID when attempting to buy beer at a Chevron gas station, but the employee actually began to write down the details of his drivers license to be able to sell him the beer.
"Yesterday 7/23 after seeing a movie with his friend, my husband decided to stop at a Chevron gas station to buy a can of beer before going back to his friends house. My husband is 44 years old and does not look like he is under 21," writes Donna.
"The clerk asked for his drivers license and proceeded to write down all his personal information on a piece of paper. She said she could not sell him a beer without all his information."
Is everyone willing to show ID and have a bunch of information written down for the priviledge of enjoying a beer?
Well, apparently its comming to that.
Stop the insanity-please!!!
This is just getting out of hand- and nobody can do anything????
. The result is that stores in major cities are under police pressure to demand ID for alcohol sales even if the person is clearly over the legal age limit of 18.
