Do not know what they are using facial recognition for. Retail does not use even simple procedures when taking credit card transactions. I can count on one had the number of retailers that ask for ID when I present a credit card. They hardly ever check to see the signature on the back even though they should not accept unsigned cards. They are certainly not using it to combat credit card fraud.

I agree. I have had this happen to me. If you have ever have been a victim of identity theft , it is a nightmare. I refuse to comply. Why does anyone need any of this information for a simple purchase? I have asked to scan my license for a package of cigarettes , cell phone charger and more. In the case of a cell phone charger which I was picking up for a friend and the charger did not fit my own phone at a Sprint store , I told the employee it was not for me. They refused a cash sale. I informed them that I was not going to allow them to scan my license. Then , in a louder than normal voice I told them ( so everyone in the store could hear - not shouting or causing a scene) asked them if they wanted the sale or not. They refused. Again , in a louder than normal voice told them they could watch me to walk out of the store as I held the $20 clear in the air for all to see. Told them that their customer policy stunk as I walked out in clear view with the $20 held high. I hope the manager saw it on in store CCTV. A couple of other people walked out too. * voting in local elections helps you out more than national elections, think about it and make it to the polls *

similarly the other day at costco they swiped my DL but I was buying alcohol. I thought it was strange. Not sure what the purpose of scanning a DL serves The new licenses everything is in the bar code on the back. They can bust a fake in no time flat because your picture pops up on some of the systems. If having your driver's license scanned is freaking you out now, it's only going to get worse. They already have your info from your credit card or debit card transaction anyways. It just is what it is these days.

I have also been asked for my license in a Walgreens to purchase a package of cigarette lighters. I showed the clerk my AARP card. That was not good enough. They refused the sale. I left the lighters on the counter and the other things I wished to purchase and walked out.
I like Walmart's policy better , if you buy some age restricted products like spray paint , carburetor cleaner or such , a prompt comes up on the cash register asking the employee if you are over 18-21-26 or whatever is store policy and the employee makes the call. Even if you are close to the age , they can just ask to see the license to just verify without scanning it , that is OK.
Do not comply. If enough people do this and more sales are lost , corporate policies will change.

The next time a store asks for your drivers license or state issued photo ID, loudly proclaim in an indignant voice that the clerk is a "Racist" several times. Then explain to them at high volume that a repressive, Caucasian, paternal society makes it near impossible for a person of my race to get a drivers license or state photo ID. If you actually are an obvious minority, you have won at this point. If you appear to be whiter than even elizabeth warren, be prepared to stay on the attack. Hopefully the befuddled clerk at this point will say something like, "But you're white." If they do, knock them out the ring with a statement like, "How dare you deny me my heritage!!!" and shout "RACIST!!!" repeatedly until the store gives you free stuff to go away. Keith

Had a store ask to scan Dl for purchase of lottery ticket. Figured it was for age verification.

When you pay in cash and they want to see your dl, you know it's a scam of some sort. I'll never forget years ago when i didn't have a driver's license, my wife got a newer car and they wanted to see my driver's license i told the car dealer to go to ---- . And also never wanted my name on the car title. They wanted the money though, so it all went threw with out me on anything, if they took the money out of it they wont do it at all.
Let me sugar coat this
