You need Id to buy spray? What kind of stupid shit is that? How would they know it was you even if they have your id? It seems like they’d just go after all the black people who bought spray when something gets vandalized.
What a stupid country you live in, I can’t imagine getting carded for buying art supplies. If you’re worried it’s gonna be used for crime, don’t sell it.
Yeah! Why do you need ID to buy a canister of pressurized flammable gas that can also get you high?
When I worked retail, we were required to ID for gas dusters as well. We also had people come in and request that we put members of their family on a “No sell” list for gas dusters too. That was always sad.
You bring up a valid point that I never thought about.
I always needed ID to buy spray paint - I’m also brown. I was into graffiti (not the tagging but the social rights kind) and my after school program taught it.
Makes me wonder if all this time, it was discrimination.
FWIW, I’m about as white as they come, and I’ve probably been carded more in my lifetime to buy spray paint than I have for alcohol.
It’s pretty standard practice in my area. Maybe it’s different in other places, or from one store to another, but most places around me seem to err on the side of carding everyone.
What’s the point in burying the fact that he didn’t have ID. You could argue they carded you because you were black but not refused service.

What you said for me seems to be discrimination.
I just assumed the card everyone.
Its been like that for a while. Anything that you can huff basically.
