Excessive DOB requests

[brutal]

You can not buy certain age restricted items without proof of age. However, the retailer has a variety of options to verify age. The request of your DOB is a liability deflector for the retailer and likely is a requirement of their insurance carrier. While not giving your actual date of birth is a good idea, lying about a purchase of a restricted item is not a good idea either. I tell them they can not enter my date of birth, but would they be able to enter January 1 of my birth year and be okay. So far, they have agreed that satisfies their requirement and avoids a potential issue.

The magnetic strip on my state issued ID does not work anymore either.

Great, now NSA is going to think those are all my purchases.
