    What are ways to tell in advance if someone is going to scan your id vs just looking at it? They don’t normally disclose that they are going to do that right?

      Generally it depends on the person working. If you can’t do math you scan it and if you can do math you just look at it. Either way outside of corporate joints none of that data gets harvested even if scanned.

      Shit most liquor stores POS systems include a card reader on the keyboard, doesn’t store anything just looks at birthday and compares it to today and gives you a yay or nay on the screen.

      It’s not hard to fake the data to, its just a mag stripe or barcode, it’s not even checking against a database.
