Today was an off-work Friday for me.  So what did I do?  Ran some errands, and one of them was the the lovely Walmart that we have had such good luck at before.  I just had a to pick up a couple things, one of which was windshield wiper fluid.  As I’m going through the self checkout, I scan the windshield wiper fluid, and the machine says

“Verification Needed, Please Wait for Assistance”.

Confused, I’m wondering if the weight sensor messed up or if I scanned it twice or something.  The cashier walks over, looks at me, and says

“You are 18, right?”

“Uhm, yeah…”

She proceeds to type in her employee code, to verify that I am “of age” to purchase windshield wiper fluid.  What…the…?  I thought checking ID and limiting how often you can buy Sudafed was a bit extreme.  Somewhere out there is a devastated 16 year old with a very dirty windshield.
