I promise if any of y'all who were behind the OP in line would have been frothing at the mouth if he said, "Honey, just run out to the car and get your ID and bring it back so we can finish checking out."
I understand the desire to crack down on underage drinking, but it would be nice if some common sense was also used. I think it is ridiculous that a family cannot go to the store as a family and check out with alcohol now. I guess if you have your family with you, only one of you needs to wait in line and pay for things and be sure to have the ID handy.
There have been times when we have gone in a store and I didn't carry a purse in because DoA had the same plastic in his wallet that I would have used otherwise, but we have not run into that particular issue with just the two of us.
I can tell you that if your teenage son owes you money, asking him for it while checking out with your beer at Walmart is not the best idea. He had a similar reaction as the OP. We left and he got it elsewhere.

I use my bank card about 99% of the time and am constantly asked for my phone number. I just say, "I'd rather not" . transaction is completed and I leave with my merchandise. I give 'em the inlaws #đ I give them Perchâs number. That's a great idea đ But I'm sure its already written on every bathroom chithouse from here to Texas

One time my brother and I were at Wal-Mart picking up a few items and got some beer. My nephew, who was probably 12 at the time, was with us. We were standing at the checkout and my nephew was unloading the buggy. The cashier said to my brother âhe is not allowed to touch the alcoholâ to which my brother replied âhell he put it in the buggy! If you donât want him touching it then put it up on a damn shelf where he canât reach it!â.

I just left the beer and about $100 worth of other stuff sitting on the register counter and left. Went across the street and bought the same stuff with no problems.

I once had a brain dead manager, at Academy in montgomery, refused to sell me more than one box of 5.56 ammo. He claimed it was "federal law" that I could only purchase one box. I was polite, the first time I explained to him there was no such law. The second time I threw the box at him and told him he could keep the $100 worth of other stuff I was about to purchase as well.

All you had to do is have her walk off. If she isn't there they can't ask to see it. Back in Texas in March we had a buggy full of beer for our week's stay and I heard the check-out woman say she needed to see everyone's ID. I just walked away. Stupid rules. This probably is something akin to "common sense beer laws,"

If youâre a common sense person, you probably donât feel you have a home in this world right now. If youâre a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

Just FYI, too, Target also checks IDs like this. Or the snotty woman who asked for mine did the last time I was in there. I left everything on the counter and walked out.
Retail stores can set their policies. I can choose to go elsewhere.

When I have been asked that question I just reply "I dont know that person. They are not with me".
Its like having to show ID to buy a knife (Im looking at you Academy).
I love my country, but don't trust my government.

There will be others who easily make up that $300 and won't care about showing an ID. Just like Dick's Sporting Goods making up the loss of a few gun owners with the stick-and-ball sports buyers.

sad thing is $300 don't mean a damn to them.
They're closing in on $500 Billion in sales annually, they probably sold $300,000 globally in the time its taken me to type this.

I did once. They don't have to worry about it happening again though. I don't even like to drive by there. The same can be said for Dick's and Gander Mountain. I may not be able to run them out of business, but I can do my little part to make it happen, just like I didn't defeat Hitlery but I did my little part to make it happen.
