We went to Walmart.

I used the self checkout and began to scan the items in my cart and bagging them.

I kept scanning and bagging, scanning and bagging, without looking at the screen.

It was after about 14 items did I look at the screen and realize the last 6 items didn't scan.

One of the first 8 items that scanned got flagged: there was a Wait For Attendant message on the screen.

The guy came and asked me if I was at least 21.

I told him Yes, I am old enough to drink.

He still asked me for my ID and I very begrudgling took out my wallet to find it. He look at it, cleared the screen and told me to rescan the 6 items that I already bagged that didn't get scan.

Now you take a guess which item I had to show my ID to prove that I am at least 21 years old.

 

I know the bleach,plates and Listerine but not the others

Uh? What do you mean?

Got carded for buying bleach? lol

The item that was flagged for ID verify is the pack of styrofoam plates, an item I have purchase many times before. Everyone of those items in the photo I buy regularly and never once was asked for ID, not even the alcohol and the compressed air cans. I search on the internet and can't find anyone posting in any blogs, forums, bulletin boards, etc etc about being carded for buying styrofoam plates.

very strange.

Strange and highly questionable.  I'll go to a different Walmart this weekend and buy the same exact foam plates item and see if it flags me again.

Yeah I'm wondering what is the reason myself. lol

They probably flagged the combination of all those items cause they think I am trying to  MacGyver  something out of them. Boil the Listerine, mix it with Bleach, add a dash of wine for color, pour the mix the compressed air cans, wrap the air can with styro foam for easy grip.... homemade fireworks.

I didn't watch MacGyver much but apparently they have a database. I'm ok with that.

Throw in some acetone and you got some compressed chloroform, MacGuyver! 

OR a lemon. I remember an episode where he did something with a lemon but it's not on this list:

Perhaps he needed a battery?  Just needs some dissimilar metals, like zinc and copper for electrodes.  Then he would have a Lemon Battery.

I was just at Wal Mart.

I think that's Tony, not Tigger.

He was walking, not bouncing.

Plus there is only one Tigger.

 

 

 

Maybe he needed cereal. He thinks they're great!

LOL!!

Was at Walmart. They doing this now with these signs on the floor.

 

Like this I want cookies but I don't want to go down to the next aisle, walk the whole thing to the end; come to the beginning of this aisle and walk the entire thing to get the cookies. No one was paying attention to those signs and were going the wrong way. So I parked my cart outside of it and walked up and grabbed the cookies.

I try to avoid Walmart
