To verify your age without having to read it manually, and to have proof for liability or legal reasons (proving that they card, if the state accuses them of skirting that law) that they actually checked ID.

No need for sneaky anything, and no nefarious motives. (For that matter, no nefarious import I can think of.)

[...] making a purchase? It’s never happened to me but lewlew at yak attack just had it happen while buying booze. What purpose does it serve except to dump all my info into another conglomerate [...]

Thanks for sharing your experience, Kirsten. I’m to going to let a checker handle my license again.

Morrigan, I hadn’t paid for my purchses yet, it was during the check out.

I read about this on TCF which was fortunate because I was then quick to recognize when it was about to happen to me. I snatched it back from the cashier and told her she did not have permission to record my personal information- only to check that I was of legal drinking age which she already verified. I had time because she wasn’t scanning it but instead keying my DL number into the register. I now make a point of holding my ID myself in a way that can been read without the cashier having to touch it.

I have not had this happen. How were you paying for your purchases?
I wonder if that made a difference?
If you didn’t expect this, or even know about it, I am not sure you could have prevented it.
But like you I wonder just what they are doing with your info?
