We weren't allowed to put our grubby hands within a 4 foot radius of that lovely little bottle with the brush that was already INSIDE THE GLASS. Dude, it was so cool.

Hell, I was pissed last year when we went to Target for cold medicine and had to get it from the pharmacy counter (seriously -- what if you're sick at NIGHT after the pharmacist is in bed???) where we were carded and given a limit on how much we were allowed to purchase at one time, and no, we could not buy more than the limit if we did it in two seperate purchases (each of us paying seperately) because he knew we were together. And while he "understood" that we had a deadline to use the money in our health care spending account and it seemed wise to stock up for the winter...well...some people would do bad things, so screw the honest non-drug abusing majority! (I'm not bitter or anything) Yeah…so now I’m pissed at hearing that they card for rubber cement.

So far I haven't challenged the clerk (I want my beer!) but can they really card you if you're not the one buying?? What if you have you underage kid with you while you're checking out?

Cough syrup that was clearly going to be given to a child, but you have to be 18 to buy it. I just can't wrap my head around it.

WTF?!?! I mean, truly: W. T. F. Also, a cashier at the Fresh Market carded me (for wine) the other day, in a really mean, suspicious way, too, and then TOTALLY embarrassed me by yelling out my DOB to everyone in the line like she couldn't believe it. Granted, I was wearing a teenybopper Woody Woodpecker t-shirt and looked kind of bedraggled, but I mean, c'mon! I've never seen a teenager with crinkly crow's feet like these! In short, sheesh!
