This situation is very plausible. I can see why some stores might start IDing people. Here's a snippet of an article I found.

...Several groups are mounting pressure on the government to include vinegar in a list of hate speech terms, and in grass roots efforts, even more are lobbying to have the word removed from books, magazines, and television programs. Many people believe this word is just as devastating homo, retarded, or the newly controversial term black hole, and perhaps now, in light of recent advancements in minority rights, is the time to finally do something about it.

But still, many people aren't aware.

Amanda (last name withheld) commented, "I don't know what all the fuss is. I think it's retarded."

Willie Penã-Lobos, a local building contractor, "I grew up in Oaxaco. Back there my family still gives me shit about about being a maricón (American). I don't wanna hear nothin' 'bout no damn vi*****!"

But others have been affected.

One downtown passerby had this to say, "I worked at Johhny Ho's Buffet on East Chestnut for 23 years I heard the word often. Sometimes I got mad, but after awhile, you just get numb."

Another passerby who scurried away before we could get his name simply yelled to our cameras, "Vihonky!"

And some, through courageous effort, are trying to make a difference.

Jackie O'Halloran-Jackson-Taylor, of Bismarck ND writes, "I have always felt a certain unease in restaurants and salad bars, as I think it's just awful how people go bandying that word about while obliviously eating croutons and cucumbers... one day a waitress asked me if I wanted French or Italian dressing, and I just broke down. Ever since then I have fought to get that damnedable word off of America's plate."

Jackie's group, Equal Food, LLC, has been working hard getting signatures on their petition to get time before the ND state assembly, and next year the hope to raise awareness among the younger generation in a co-sponsored ad with Nike, which will run during MTV's, The Real World, and a contest to rename the tart liquid.

Here's to you Jackie!

That reads like something from The Onion, except it doesn't make half as much sense. Regardless, how does this in any way explain having to sign a form to buy vinegar?

I just couldn't resist. Drove to the store this morning, and was in and out in 2 minutes flat. No ID was required, I looked at the register and it said nothing.

Well that saves me the trouble. I was headed over after work.

What, it's just that? The first thing I did after reading the article was look up vinegar at urban dictionary. I have never heard the term outside this one instance. And if it's not that...I'll probably be six feet under before I get it.

Didn't say it was anything smart. Just a play on sounds in a word. After all, when you saw Vihonky in the "article", what else did you expect.....and especially in a dmcowen thread that's obviously a troll thread?

I would never trust any of you guys buying vinegar.

You never heard of the "vinegar bomb"?

You know, life is funny. Sometimes you find yourself doing things you never ever thought you would. This is one of those times. I'm about to come to Dave's defense.

There is a possibility that the vinegar was mistakenly coded to require a restricted access form. The cashier, not giving a damn, just went along with the flow. For all we know, she then later asked her boss why all the fuss over vinegar and that's when the error was corrected.

Strange stuff happens. Nevertheless, I think this will be the "alternator" thread of 2010.
