Age Verification via Pay by Touch

From a Chicago Blog... Your finger, sir!

So, I was at Jewel this weekend, and I “needed” to pick up a six-pack of Rolling Rock. Imagine, my surprise when I get the self-checkout, select “Pay-By-Touch“, scan the six-pack, and instead of having to fish out my driver’s license, the scanner says, “age verified via pay-by-touch”. No muss, no fuss, I paid and left….and it even said how my age was verified on the receipt (on left). Sometimes, you just gotta give it up to technology. I love this!
