You mean you don’t show your passport at the butcher? What a shit show. I was dumb enough to give my email etc for some shoes I bought. Time to stop the tardsanity!
Identification to buy groceries! Unless… you have alcohol in your cart?
this is why they like the world to use insecure payment systems. It gives them an excuse to surveil people. The credit card number with the expiry date and 3 digit code is a private key. People put it in websites all the time. They could have moved to public/ private key encryption years ago, but then there would be not need to monitor and id everyone.
Do you have a license to buy groceries? It's part of the implied social contract that you must submit this information to protect against criminals who dare buy groceries without permission. I mean... what can you possibly do with those groceries, jeez. You never know what kind of chaos someone could cause with an unauthorized carton of eggs or a loaf of bread. Honestly, I'm just relieved the grocery police are cracking down on these lawless food buyers. I sleep better at night knowing that all grocery purchases are verified, tracked, and kept safe in a database somewhere. /s
Especially the ones with large numbers on them. Gougery-super-grocers.
