NY - 21 to buy and AR, and now, 21 to buy whip cream

[Beerman]

It Aint the same. I have a tradition on holidays of squirting Ready whip in my grandkid's mouths after dinner. Guess I will now have child protective services after my ass.

Naw, it’s 21 to purchase, not to dispense.

Some Businesses utilize a Bar Code Reader Program that requires the Cashier to scan a Drivers Licenses before they can proceed: it doesn't differentiate between the physically obvious, you're just a number into their Data Base.
Make the age of Adulthood 21 across the Board or reinstate the Rights and Privileges across the Board: It's bullshit to say OK, you're 18 now and can go into debt for the rest of your life with Student Loans, but you're (presumably) too immature to buy a Beer or Cigarette.... 'course now that the Interns are 18 and too stupid to know they're being played they can be legally fucked and discarded.

They just asked my birthdate that’s all. I’m not a fan of bar code scanning. The kid could clearly tell I was over 21 and thought it was ridiculous so I can respect that.

Meanwhile, how's that opioid crisis going?

As far as I can determine, it's going well.
The only people they've been able to keep from getting opioids are old people and those with medical need who had prescriptions for it.

Well, they are on the insurance till 26, so just make it 26 to be an adult; at which point all laws are suspended.

I am more cynical than you. It is not about age verification. They scan the barcode and it reads everything about your pedigree. Name DOB Address and DL Number. That info goes into a database somewhere.
May never be used or if you somehow end up on some FED's enemies list it could be used against you some day.

A little acetone on a qtip makes a mess out of the barcode. No need to do the whole thing, just a couple spots.

FYI its not the whip cream itself its the nitrous oxide "chargers" that squirt the cream out. My wife worked and manged at Freindly back in the day and the young employees called them "whip its" you breathe in or what not the nitrous oxide after the whip cream is all gone but still some gas in the canister......and you get like a glue high or whatever...they had to lock them up to keep employees from the snorting the crap....its was crazy..I think that is what they are trying to do or what not.

but still.......one day you will have to be 19 to buy the BIG BOX of crayolas cuz that box has the SHARPENER!! on it.

Shaving cream will be next. Just wait...

haven't been in there in years, but walmart would prompt "is the purchaser over 21?" Y/N when buying cans of Carb Cleaner and shotshells (remember when you could buy a 100 pack for $21.87?)

They have been selling balloons full of the stuff at Grateful Dead concerts for decades. Suddenly it's a problem?
BTW I hate stepping on the used whippets as I stroll over the used needles condoms and piles of human feces.

Really, it really is about the cash registers and how Albany works.

There are little mom and pops that stopped selling cigarettes and may sell whipped cream but don't sell beer or wine. A whole new revenue base is opened up for the cash register companies. One day it will hit the stores that sell Crayolas too.

Haha nothing like the sound of a big tank filling balloons at 2am in the parking lot of a music festival lolololol damn I’m old now.

One file line with a sharpie can change the whole barcode LOL. You wouldn't even be able to tell there was something wrong.

I bet some enterprising kid could figure out exactly where to put that line to change the DOB to whatever he wanted.

Should be a lot easier than changing the regular numbers without making it look bad.

Yellow chalk changing 1969 to 1964 was sooo much easier.
