If there's legal action, it makes sense that that would need to be resolved first before CFPB and the like would be able to do anything. Until some type of notice/explanation has arrived though, if the OP can't think of any l

I don't think I'd let a random shop scan my ID, especially for something as unimportant as alcohol. A barcode doesn't sound like it stores much, but the potential for ID theft is something I would think anyone is cautious to

Yes, I didn't mean as a popular insult, but you just wouldn't use it on a person, say 20 years ago, because it was used exclusively to refer to things and animals.

It might be a preference to use it/its as gender-neutral pronouns instead of singular they/their. Kind of wonder how common that is nowadays, since traditionally I would think people could take it as an insult where they're b
