I was in Tractor Supply the other day for acetone and ATF, and an 'oil can harry' squirt oiler to use it with. They had a special on above freezing winshield washer fluid, so I picked up a coule of gallons. Now, normally at the checkout at TSC the clerk will ask for your zip code... which you don't have to give them, but it helps them decide what to stock in a given store and to locate their customers by store. This time, however, the querstion was "May I have your birthdate please?" Not address, or location or identification. I asked and the clerk says they are told to get birthdate from everyone who buys the stuff. Now I wonder why that is.
Note, this is the +32 washer fluid - it has no alcohol in it. The label merely lists water and 'vegetable cleaners', whatever they may be. So, I have emailed TSC asking what gives. What it wish to know is, is this a bit of data TSC wants, or is the state of Georgia on the feds making them insure age to buy the stuff. I think I'm pist over it, if it's State or Federal, a nasty letter to my legislooter is in order. Anyone else run into this?
