Just casually paying for a $1.17 tube of white out at a Wal-Mart with CASH.
All of the sudden:
Cashier- "may I see your ID"
Me- Didn't know what planet I was on and thought I gave him my CC for a sec.
Me- I'm on planet Earth so "What the heck do you need my ID for"
Cashier- "The computer is telling me to check for ID"
Me- "For a freakin tube of white-outs ??"
Cashier- "I'm only doing what the computer is telling me"
Me- "damn man, use your common sense, WTF do I need to show my ID for buying a tube of white-outs"

Tired of argueing with the guy(my wallet is in the car), I just left all my crap there.

This has got to be the most absurd thing I've ever encounter.
Is this some crazy California law that I don't know about ??
I'm not making this up. Its the Wal-mart near the only Frys in Sacramento.

Walmart does this with glue and spray paint too. Just shop elsewhere.

OK, I just told this to my brother and he told me something that made a little sense.
Kids can use it to sniff.

Still the most absurd thing.
Seriously, its mostly kids that need white-outs anyway.

Who uses white-out anymore? I call BS. Either you are sniffing it or you are making this up.

Kids get high off of Wite-out. It's rediculous to card for it. I cashier occasionally at work, and sometimes the ID check comes up for certain medicines.

Just let her card you and STFU. She's just doing her job. No wonder people hate to work retail.

I was in Oregon 3 months ago visiting & got carded for Claritin-D.

Governor apparently has been up to no good since I've been gone.

I can see raising flags if I try to buy their entire stock (or better yet try to STEAL it) but goddamn.

I rarely get carded buying alcohol & now I'm being carded to buy OTC allergy medicine?

They do that for ALL KINDS of stupid crap. I once had to argue with a Walmart goon to let me buy an M-rated game because he thought "UNDER 21 ALCOHOL RESTRICTED" meant I was a minor. I've been carded at Wally world for CONDOMS. I wasn't 18 at the time, and was QUITE FVCKING PISSED OFF. Walked across the street to CVS, grabbed a box of Trojans, and all I got was a dirty look from the old lady at the register.

Carded for condoms?

That's brilliant considering they pass the damn things out in some schools.

Liquid Paper is a controlled substance. I sniff it when I run out of weed. Permenent marker Magnum 44 gets me high too, real fast.

Well, geezzz, stores still sell them so people must still need it, duh!!!

If your mind can't comprehend why people do need white-out sometimes.
I just got new car insurance and they need proof that I had old car insurance so I have this PAPERWORK but I wrote all kind of crap on it when my car was stolen.
I need to white them all out before I can fax them this paperwork.
