I just had to swipe my driver’s license at the drugstore in order to buy some Sudafed (which is really the only thing that helps when I get a sinus headache) — because meth labs use them, and apparently I look just like the guy on “Breaking Bad.” Sigh…

Meth labs cook up 20 lbs of the stuff at a time.
They aren’t buying Sudafed OTC to do it.
Don’t take it personally, I do too, even if I show up in a suit and a buzz cut… It’s simply the stupid LAW….
In NJ our nasal decongestant pills with epinephrine are behind the druggist’s counter. So far, I haven’t had to show a driver’s license. But…who knows?
Out in WI, when I had a bad cough, I had to show my driver’s license in order to purchase what has always been OTC cough medicine. Grey hair and wrinkles did not serve to prevent being “carded.” I don’t get carded in bars….
Just for plain old Target version of Robitussin DM.
Yeah, I’ve tried the newer OTC drugs but they don’t work as well for me (and apparently a number of people) as the stuff they watch more closely these days. It’s a pita to get them now.
hurrump. My bank refused to let me make a withdrawal since my driver’s license (photo ID) had expired roughly six weeks earlier. Good news since I was not aware of the expiration and got it renewed ASAP. Bank policy would not allow withdrawal from a teller, but as my debit card was activated, I could use atm. Do not understand the effectiveness of this policy then or now. Never had to swipe a drivers id to pick up my parents’ prescriptions so far, and we have been trying to convince both to give up driving. This does not bode well

Don’t feel bad — so does the wacky dad from “Malcolm in the Middle.”
