Sounds like it could be useful screening data for employers. Would that be legal to do? It does seem we could use some modern privacy laws to prevent this type

  Why would it be useful? Most employers don't care about if their employees are also bar patrons and bars are a place to socialize - going to bars doesn't mean you're a heavy drinker. I frequently go to bars without drinking more than maybe a sip of alcohol. Either I'm the DD or I simply don't feel like drinking that day and my friends wanna meet up, or even if I just want some food. Doesn't apply to me but people go to see the band as well.

    > Why would it be useful? Most employers don't care about if their employees are also bar patrons and going to bars doesn't mean you're a heavy drinker. Most don't care about your personal life. But some care incredibly deeply about it. There are Christian employers in Canada and the United States, who will fire you, if they discover that you, say, had pre-marital sex at some point in your life. Others will fire you for undergoing a medical procedure. Do you think bosses like that give two shits about an employee splitting hairs as to what exactly constitutes living in sin?

    The "banned patrons" list may be more interesting than the "patrons" list.

  Private Investigators would absolutely love this dataset, since it could include who got ID'd at what bar when. Can definitely piece together places to try to find someone, people they might know, etc.
