Also, not sure if it is the same info or not, but my LTC has a magnetic strip on the back just like the one on my DL.Jusme wrote:puma guy wrote:That's an interesting question, because there's a magnetic strip on your TDL that's only allowed to be used for age verification for liquor sales and maybe admission to age restricted venues where liquor is served. Prerhaps that's the reason for their policy. I don't know if the LTC has the same info.imkopaka wrote:I was in Lubbock a few days ago and while at Wal-mart I had a bottle of wine among my purchases. When asked for ID, I presented the first ID in my wallet, which was my LTC. The employee stated that she could not accept it as a valid ID and I needed to display my drivers license. I informed her that the law states that LTC's are valid IDs, but she said she was just following policy and could be fired for accepting it. It was my understanding that according to H.B. 2739, she was not allowed to refuse it as a valid form of ID. Is there something I could do to make sure this isn't a problem in the future? Should I contact the manager? Is it even a battle worth fighting?
Since LTC requires, that the holder be 21, it shouldn't need age verification. JMHO.
Does anyone else think it is a bit backwards to ONLY sell alcohol to someone who is licensed to drive a car? If anything, you would think that people would be less likely to sell alcohol to those who are driving vehicles. Kind of like only selling gasoline in cans to people who are chain smokers.
