Web sites that require age ID to view. E.g., this one:

https://www.donjulio.com/en-us...7_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

First off, any 8 yo with time on his hands could get into the site. Second, no adult that values his time will perform the 12 * 21 = 252 clicks required to get back far enough to declare himself to be at least 21 years old. And there’s no way in hell that I’ll do 12 * 80 = 960 clicks necessary to get back to my actual birth month.

I have no idea what you're talking about. In my browser it's just drop down menus to pick your birthdate.

Concur with Pipe Smoker. If the website lets me type in 1/1/2000 quickly, then fine, but if I have to scroll thru pages of a pulldown calendar for entry, no thanks! I will go elsewhere.

If I did I suspect I would blur any pertinent data besides DOB. They already have your name and mailing address and they certainly don’t need your DL number.

On my iPhone Safari, Firefox, and DuckDuckGo all require me to click back, one month per click, to get to the required date on the site. Maybe direct date entry would be possible on a laptop. But this is 2022, and I seldom use anything but my iPhone to browse the web nowadays. Don Julio oughta wise up.

What? Don Julio just demands my birthday, not my driver’s license.

That's just the way iPhones work when entering dates on apps, you get the scrolling selection options at the bottom...

agree the "enter date" option on liquor web pages to confirm the user is of age is silly, anyone can put in any date they want, not like you can show your ID..

I know! I go to tons of sites that keep trying to make sure I'm over 18.

It's for work stuff.

Really.

A lady I work with was bitching how she has to enter her birthday to get a recipe from the Jack Daniels website but you can go right into a porn site.

The Walmart near me “updated” their scanners. My card didn’t work. The cashier said
“ Put it in, take it out. Put it in, take it out. Put it in, take it out. Now slide the card.”
It worked though it had a chip.
After a week things started working.

Just to be clear about this, she was talking about a credit card, right?

Many booze sites just have a “are you over 21? Yes/No. I don’t know why others want a date. I just scroll to a year and pick any date that makes me 21. No need to enter actual date.




These go to eleven.
