Ok it was a computer glitch, but I have had "Show ID" come up for Crayons. I am good at causing glitches.
Engaged to the amazing Marmalady. She is my Silver Dragon, shining as bright as the sun. I her Black Dragon (though good honestly), dark as night..fierce and strong.
Heh, I had the lady at the checkout want to ID me for Spretcher's Root Beer the other day. Now, to be fair, Spretchers also brews several beers--their sodas are a (tasty!) bit of sideline.
I also got pulled over by a cop for drinking an I.B.C. Root Beer while driving through town once. If you're not familiar with the product, it comes in a dark brown bottle, like many beers. The cop and I both had a chuckle over that.

IBC is my favorite root beer. I've often had that weird daydream of getting pulled over for having an open container in my cup holder. Of course, snarky imaginary Jedi would offer the hunky officer a sip just to prove it was soda.
I am no longer of capable of the emotion you humans call “compassion”. Though I can feign it in exchange for an hourly wage. (Gravekeeper)
When I was cashiering at the former place of employment, one of the tiny little Ben & Jerry's flavors was mis-entered into the system so I'd be prompted to ask for ID.
Apparently, the internal codes for ice cream and smokey treats are (were?) remarkably similar.

The day-quil and niquil stuff are all because of them being able to be turned into Meth.
I lived in Parkersburg, West Virginia for all my life, and there was a while there that nearly every week police were busting Meth labs. They aren't so bad NOW, but i remember back then, there was a certain amount you could buy and had to be ID'd. After i think 3-4, you couldn't get anymore. Yea, i know...who would buy that many?
Maybe there were 5-7 people living in a house that was really sick. (i've seen it, so it's a valid excuse) But normally, you don't need to buy more than 2 (because they come in a pack of 2 sometimes)
I can only please one person a day, today isn't your day, and tomorrow doesn't look good either.
When someone asks you a stupid question, give them a stupid answer.
I got carded for Virgil's Root Beer when it first came out; it was stocked across from the beer and came in brown bottles with swing-caps (plastic and heavy wire), similar to another beer at the time. Cashier asks for ID, shift manager overhears:

Non Alcoholic Wine & Beer - asking management resulted in being told that because it was brewed or fermented it still classed as alcohol even after the alcohol was removed.
Liquer chocolates - actually kind of sensible.

Crackers. (but only one brand out of several we were selling at the time).
I am so SO glad I was not present for this. There would have been an unpleasant duct tape incident. - Joi

Sounds like you were in my part of town. That is funny though.

Ironically, the few times I have been ID'ed for it, the magazine then came up in the computer as a generic periodical (so there was no way for anyone to know what I bought).

It took me a minute to get that one. I was trying to figure out why in the blue hells anyone would need ID to buy beef jerky.
All depends on how the system is set up.
