No. People need to learn to refuse to have their ID scanned at bars and restaurants and every other place that has no business scanning their ID.
There should be a public consensus that having your ID scanned on demand for no reason is unacceptable. It would’ve been obvious to the people of thirty years ago.

yeah in Toronto you’ll get people handing out free samples of alcohol downtown. most of the time they don’t ask for ID but sometimes they do and there’s no way in hell i’m handing over my ID to get a free can of snapple with booze in it.

What are ways to tell in advance if someone is going to scan your id vs just looking at it? They don’t normally disclose that they are going to do that right?
Generally it depends on the person working. If you can’t do math you scan it and if you can do math you just look at it. Either way outside of corporate joints none of that data gets harvested even if scanned.
Shit most liquor stores POS systems include a card reader on the keyboard, doesn’t store anything just looks at birthday and compares it to today and gives you a yay or nay on the screen.
It’s not hard to fake the data to, its just a mag stripe or barcode, it’s not even checking against a database.
