Exactly. I never have to show an ID at a supermarket or gas station.

I very seldom have to take my ID out of my wallet.

But you know what? I can do all my banking and most everything else from my phone. The social security administration can verify my identity and discuss taxes over the phone, we should be able to vote using our phones.

I have had to to buy cigarettes which is bullshit in itself. I obviously have gray hairs that are 21.

I remember George HW Bush was amazed at grocery store scanners when he went into a grocery store during a campaign stop. Pretty sure they had been in place for a decade at that point. Supermarket scanner moment was shorthand for a while about a politician being out of touch.

And as it turned out, I learned today almost a quarter century later, that it was a complete myth. The President was at a grocery convention and was amazed at genuinely new scanner technology that allowed produce to be weighed and damaged barcodes to be read. One reporter from the Houston chronicle mentioned that older Bush was amazed by the technology but didn't give the context. The New York Times picked it up and ran with it.

He's love the tech now.

Amazon has scanned that can determine what a product is without a bar code, from measuring weight, size, dimensions, and real time video of the product.

In 1992, Bill Clinton famously could respond to town hall questions with current costs of milk, bread and other staples. George H.W. Bush appeared to have never been to a grocery store before. Mentioning it for no reason.

Grocery . . .

(sings)
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Groceries ,Groceries , Groceries . . .
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word . .
Groceries, Groceries, Groceries . . .
Groceries !
I've just learned a word named Groceries ,
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me.
Grocery !
I've just kissed a word named Grocery,
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound
Can be!
Groceries !
Say it loud and there's music playing,
Say it soft and it's almost like praying.

Groceries,
I'll never stop saying Groceries !

The most beautiful sound I ever heard.
Groceries .

I must really look old, I don't even get carded for alcohol, unless the system is programmed to require the date of birth be entered.

But I am always carded when purchasing sudafed. Maybe I look like a meth dealer.

They seem to be stricter about cigarettes than alcohol for some reason.

Mike is too stupid to realize that jet fuel is only slightly more flammable than water. In fact, it is used precisely because of its lack of volatility and explosiveness.

Well, anyone buying that Wal-Mart basket is sacrificing quality and quantity.

Normal maga bullshit, they have to lie.
