Very surprised by the cashier and then the manager at Academy Sports.
During my purchase of Hoppes #9 Copper Solvent, I was forced to show ID. I quickly switched from a debit card to cash and proceeded with the purchase, but afterwards I began to think.
When I questioned why, she said it was the registers fault so it must be corporate policy. Then she said it was a government regulation, which I immediately dismissed as hooey. Finally she just glared at me and stated, "Well you could be inhaling it you know". I work for a large financial institution and was in the store wearing a business suit. Inhaling it?
I received the same lines from the shift manager, except for the inhaling part and decided to leave. Got curious and stopped at the Walmart exactly one block away. Purchased Hoppes #9 without anyone even raising an eyebrow let alone asking for ID.
