I took a pair of coveralls I ordered on line that didn't fit back to their Lexington Ky. store. While I was there I got two boxes of Win. long beard turkey shells. Laid what I bought on the check out and when the clerk got to the shotgun shells he ask for my driver license. So I ask him if I looked under 18 years old I said I'm 72 years old. He said they have been checking license on ammo since the middle of Sept. On the way to SD. at Mitchell in the middle of Oct. at their Cabela's I bought serval boxes of ammo and was not asked for drivers license. Is this another company that has started customer harassment? Has anyone on here been asked for their driver license on ammo purchase at Cabela's that don't look under 18?

I bought a couple pounds of powder, some bullets, 100 round balls, and some muzzle loader caps Sunday at Cabela's in kansas City. They just rang it up.

They ask for my phone #...I say no, thanks anyway.....they say it is to track where the customers live....I say that is done by zip code.
They look at me confused so I guess everyone just gives them the info they want.....sheep city.

I get asked for ID occasionally when buying ammo/alcohol. It depends on my mood whether I: - Explain how stupid they are
- Explain how stupid their boss thinks they are by not trusting their judgement
- Suggest they become sexually abused
- Just walk out
One guy, in a liquor store told me "It's the law". He couldn't explain why I could have gotten away with hundreds of purchases without ever being asked. One young chick didn't quite get it when I said "I'll show you mine if you show me yours".

I work at bass pro which y'all know owns cabelas now and yes, probably some new employee who is just following instructions or one that doesn't wanna get yelled at. They get just as tired of asking customers for ID as you do getting asked. In the several times that I have cashiered (that's not my reg position), we're required to ask you if you have a rewards card, want to sign up for a credit card, ID for ammo purchase, get a phone #, email address and maybe zip lol yeah I have been cussed out by customers buying a soda having to jump through all those hoops. Got to a point if they did throw me on a register I'd skip all that bull crap lol

To the op. I found myself with my Dad down in the south (TN). It was about 13 years ago. We stopped at a grocery store to get some fixens and beer. Dad decided that he was paying for everything. When the cute little girl rang up the beer she asked for ID. I started reaching for mine when she said she needed my Dads. Turns out whenever you by booz there you need to show ID.

I don't give them my # either. Didn't get asked for it on Sunday either.

Many of the newer POS (point of sale) registers [/b]will not [b] complete the transaction until they scan an ID. If they skip this step then they cannot complete the transaction. I set up our older cheap register at our store that requires a DOB to be entered for tobacco and alcohol. The fines for underage are not worth it and we could loose our lottery license, and tobacco, alcohol license too.
