Why do have to sign restricted access form to buy Vinegar?

Went shopping yesterday ahead of the blizzard here in Chicago and picked up some Olive Oil and Vinegar for salad at the grocery and they asked for my ID, scanned it and made me sign a "Restricted Access Form" to buy the vinegar.

Obviously being on a long line I did not have a chance to read the long winded document.

What the hell is this?

Anyone know?

Are people making Meth or something from Vinegar these days?

 

[zerocool84]

Never heard of that for vinegar. I know the ID thing for spray paints, paint thinners, etc.

 

[zinfamous]

They found you, Dave!!



GTFO out, now!! While there's still time!!


RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BoomerD]

Never heard of that one Dave. We just bought 2 gallons of white vinegar last week at Costco. No forms required.

 

[El Guaraguao]

Do you look like one of them?

 

[disappoint]

lulz someone is trying to steal your identity
now they have your ID and signature
not that they can do much with that
never sign anything to buy vinegar man.

j/k ;-)

 

[Leros]

A quick google search doesn't yield any results.

vinegar is kinda like expired wine. so, you are buying alcohol, just... really old one.

 

[dmcowen674]

I know I can't find anything on this searching either.

Really odd.

I really want to know why they are tracking Vinegar sales and why have to scan ID and sign that form.

Even if they classified it as Alcohol why the restricted access form?

That is what they use for buying cough medicine with decongestant in it because of the Meth crap.

 

[EarthwormJim]

Maybe law makers read the saga of Vinegar Boy.

 

[Crono]

Maybe they have limited supply because people are buying stuff ahead of the blizzard and vinegar just happens to be item they chose for validation.

 

[Locut0s]

Yeah that's a strange sounding one. Was this in bulk or just 1 or 2 L? Maybe as you said it's a key ingredient in drug making or something. Or maybe terrorists use it to make explosives? At any rate this only makes sense if you are buying in bulk.

Don't listen to him.

What else did you purchase?

 

[dmcowen674]

What else did you purchase?

Just usual storm supplies, bread, milk, eggs, some meat and salad.

Was low on Vinegar for the salad. Have bought vinegar here before and this was first time had to do this. The lady at the counter just said they have to do all that for vinegar now but she didn't know why.

One small bottle like maybe 4 or 6 ounces?

Perhaps it was something specific to that store?

Target on Elston Ave in Chicago

 

[Born2bwire]

It's because you're crazy.

 

[sjwaste]

Maybe you should've asked the store? Never heard of this.

Actually, call the store.

 

[Phoenix86]

Sounds like a product got tagged incorrectly in their system.

I buy vinegar in bulk online. Never had a problem. Great for tenderizing my bulk beef purchases.

 

[darkxshade]

vinegar in large quantities can be used to make explosives... the smelly kind that goes off in the school bathroom.

 

[0roo0roo]

Because it used to contain alcohol. That makes it bad mmkay.

Sounds like target is doing it wrong.
