What are we supposed to walk around and look for people buying age-restricted stuff?

[Lovecats]

When I was working the register would prompt for ID for lighters. Then it stopped for a few years then started up again. Don't know if it was a corporate thing or state thing.

Also on the list were canned air, white out, Sudafed, and certain cans of spray paint (but not all of them).

I have seen IDs asked for when buying spray paint to cut down on teens tagging and vandalizing buildings, signs, etc. in an area.

Or said teens using it to get high, too. Particularly gold paint

Let me guess - gold, silver, and clear? Those tend to have a higher percentage of solvent than normal spray paint, and are therefore the preferred ones for huffers.

I think there were a few other colors as well, but yes, the clear and metallics were on that list. I suspect some was for huffing, some was for tagging, and all the rest (no ID check) were quite possibly because it was too much of a hassle to program the ID check for every single color of spray paint (because each color is a different UPC) in every single brand, especially if it isn't a legal thing.

I was carded for white-out once. I thought it weird, but showed my ID.

Idiots would huff White-Out hence the ID thing.

I know on Mischief Night and Halloween a lot of places don't sell eggs or toilet paper to kids around here.

That seems like a good way to choke yourself.
