[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1541250, member: 5151"] ...I've not been in a liquor store that [I]doesn't[/I] scan your ID barcode to verify that its real and you're legal if you're not obviously 21 or a frequent flyer... Like other posters have said... don't use a debit or credit card, and especially not a "rewards card" (Ace... K-Mart... Homeland... etc...) if you're that paranoid. It's very easy for me to take a transaction (or three) and tailor a marketing campaign around [I]your[/I] personal shopping habits, especially on those rewards cards where you consent for that information to not only be initially personally identifiable rather than datamined, but also for all of your shopping information (including the personally identifiable stuff) to be sold to third parties. That junk you receive in the mailbox address to "Postal Customer" or "Current Resident" aren't shotgun mailers that often any more. "Direct mail" marketing is really becoming direct mail. If I were a computer repair shop, I could buy a list of everyone who bought a computer within 75 miles of me 2 years ago likely with warranties expected to expire soon so that I can mail them a coupon for a "tune up" or "locally-offered extended warranty coverage" cheap and legal.
