I got carded for what?

So I went out with my wife for the day. We hit up Dark Knight, and if anyone hasn't seen it I highly recommend checking it out. It's a highly entertaining movie, excellent performances by both Heath Ledger and Christian Bale.
After the movie we did some shopping, one of our stops being the liquor store. We purchased enough that we got a nice discount
but neither of us are carded. No, big deal, we walk out with me carrying a case and my wife carrying what didn't fit in the box 
(no we aren't planning a party, this is just for us 
)
Later on we made a quick Walmart stop to pick up some odds and ends. One of them being Superglue and I grabbed a 6 pack of JW Dundee's Honey Brown Lager. Now, of all the alcohol we purchased today do we get carded for any of it? No! but we sure got carded for the SuperGlue!
How crazy is that? What has the world come to when alarms go off for Superglue and aerosols products, but not for alcohol? Anyway, that's my rant for the day!

lol, that's messed up. Are you completely sure it was for the glue? I mean, didn't you pay for both at the same time? Did the cashier specifically say it was for the glue?
Around here, they will card you (or limit you) for certain things. The reason they do it is some items are ingredients used to make meth. Unfortunately, meth labs are a big problem around here (TN).
I am quite sure that everyone is required to card for alcohol, but when you don't make a very good wage (and/or if you are really busy), I doubt most would care at all.Posted 07-28-08 at 10:31 PM by TheLaughingMan

Yes, it was for the glue. Paid for on different receipts and the glue was second...

I get carded for spray paint and fireworks, but not ciggies (I smoke black and milds when I drink). Kinda sad.Posted 06-19-09 at 11:44 PM by The Pook

well, here in the netherlands we don't really have that problem. Everybody just buys and nobody cares. It seems that the whole dutch population just says: "we don't care what you do, clean up your own mess if you make".
