Why Is This Store Scanning My Driver's License?
@ideagirl: I like that idea.
I'm usually ok with letting them run the mag strip on the back (we used to do it at the bank all the time, so I've been able to see exactly what's on the strip). What I have a problem with is when the physically take the license, put it on a scanner, and keep that on file.
I went to a bar one time and that's their normal policy. "In case something happens and we need to know who you are."
Once I started asking questions about their network, how it was secured, what kind of data encryption solutions they had, and what their privacy policy was, they just looked at me and "deleted" the file from their database.
Now, I don't mind showing my ID to prove that I'm of legal drinking age, but scanning the front and keeping it on file, well that's just a little too much info for a damn bar.
Needless to say, I've not been back.

9 Legal Drugs With Extremely Disturbing Side Effects
@liquidnumb: A few months ago my doctor put me on Effexor. I started out on a tiny dose for a few days and then was supposed to go to the "full" dose.
Well, being the good little consumer I am (LOL!), I started doing research. OMFG!! I started reading the horror stories about the withdrawal effects and promptly stuck my finger down my throat to puke up the pill I had just taken, followed by flushing the rest of the pills down the toilet. No fucking way in hell I was going to get involved with that shit! And now, we're doing juuuuust fine...

Used Syringes Surprise Kohl's Shopper
I'm not at all surprised that they downplayed it. I had an incident happen at Meijer's once. I was working the return desk and some stoned-out loser decided to bring back a dj laser type thing without a reciept. As I reached into the box to check the condition of it (very obviously used), my finger very narrowly missed getting stabbed by a used syringe. I called the manager and the police. The asshole manager didn't think it was any big deal.
That was the last day I worked there. There's just too much scary shit that can happen with someone's used syringe. It wasn't worth it to me.
