OK, This afternoon on my way to Area 442 in the height of
Bike Week here in Daytona.... I stopped at Lowes to pick-up
a couple of things for this weekends projects...
After making my purchases at Lowe's knowing I needed a few domestic
things I decided to stop at a Target right next to Lowe's..
Big mistake!! I for some reason have never liked this company that
is owned by the French!!
Went into the store to buy some shampoo, really the only thing I
needed... but decided to pick-up some beer to put in the shop fridge
for the weekend...
Headed for the check-out with cash in hand! (10 items or else mind you)
Lo and behold the cashier scans my shampoo and my beer and states
she needs to scan my Florida drivers license to be able to purchase the
brew!!!
I stated you can look at my license but hell NO you are not
going to scan it!!!!!!! Her words were this is company policy and for me
to be able to leave the store it had to happen......
Agh, no friggin' way was this going to happen.. Being on the back side of 60, but still lookin' like 50
, I proceeded to leave the store and head
for a local Publix (Florida grocery store chain) and purchase the
beer and shampoo with-out ID!!!!
To make a long story short (yeah right you guys know me)
screw this form of profiling and marketing!!
Just giving my buddies a heads up!!
