That's one of the most retarded things I've heard in awhile. I've never tried to buy anything like that on a Sunday morning, so I don't know if they do that here. That is extremely stupid though.

I know they lock up the sudaphed and any other cold remedies because the druggies use chopped up pills as ingredients to make meth (non traceable and legal ya know!)...its really lame because a few eejits have ruined things for decent people. Sorry your son is sick, hope he gets better soon

I got carded last week when I bought my daughter cough medicine. I was like.....wha...this is chidrens cold medicine!!! Your carding me for something I'm going to give a 3 year old?! I guess there are idiots that make meth with that stuff, but still.... I wasn't buying 8 bottles.

That is completely stupid! Sounds like something Wallyhell would do. When I buy fuel injection cleaner for my truck, or spray paint, they have to enter on the register that I'm over 18, in order to purchase it!!! Just sell me the ****, and quit playing Big Brother!!!

I am sorry to hear about your son and hope that he is feeling better. I know that the razors are locked up at my local Kmart.

I know - I bought some Tylenol Allegery Sinus pills the other day and I bought five boxes - one for the office, one for home, one for my travel kit, and two others for random places. I have sinus problems and take it sometimes every day in allegery season. Well, I have to let them photo copy my driver's license, fill out like two forms, and was advised I was being filmed purchasing the stuff and that I was suspect for buying so much, etc. I was so horrified and insulted I would almost rather havbe runny nose

I buy six packs of Advil cold medicine at Costco and no one has ever asked me for an ID.

Oh.My.God. Sorry, Jill.
Everything you guys have described is the most retarded thing ever. Yes, they're all the most retarded.
I don't think we do that here?

I think I'll ask. Did they pass laws or something that none of us heard about? Strand?
Sorry your son is sick, too.
Ha, I've only noticed the nicotine replacement products in locked glass cases.

The wonderful world of crystal meth addicts and their happy impact on all of us. Unbelievable.

omg that is soooo retarded!!! is there like, a last call time for selling it at night, too? what if you get sick after 2 am?

i was carded for buying caffeine pills... just plain old caffeine pills- no other ingredient... one pill is equivalent to one cup of coffee... i was appalled... i was only buying one bottle, too. (taking one of those is just quicker than brewing it and drinking it) i asked the lady why she needed my id and she said that it was their policy not to sell caffeine pills to kids under 18, though there weren't any restrictions on the label...

i wonder what they do if a 12 yr old tries to buy 17 canisters of coffee...

lol my local walgreens has done that... but get this, half of them are locked up behind glass, and half of them are hanging there for anyone to grab... what's the point?

you are right, my hubby broke out in hives at like midnight once & when i called the "ask a nurse" # our insurance provides, they told me to give him benadryl, i couldn't find it to buy anywhere except the 1 24-hr walgreen's way across town~
