No/No (R). I just went to the store (about 25 mins. away) to get laser printer cleaner paper. So I go to the checkout and she rings it up-->asks my age-->"17"-->"You have to be 18 to buy this."-->blank stare-->I just stare at her for a while and she keeps saying sorry--the computer says you can't buy it. So the guy next to me offers to buy it for me--and she lets him. Then she says it's to keep kids from building bombs.
IT'S A FRICKIN' PIECE OF PAPER (moistened)--I can MAYBE understand the kit w/ the chemicals in the bottles--but how the ho are you gonna make a bomb from paper.
And they've also outlawed buying decongestants. So if I can't breathe, my mother has to get me pills? This is ridiculous. Because a few stupid teens do things, we all suffer.
Now that is stupid.
They need to repeal the law on decongestants, and have the federal government step in to prohibit states from having laws like this.
I don't know what store this is that won't let a 17-year-old buy paper, but unfortunately this attitude is all too typical these days in Corporate America. Everyone's considered a criminal by them.
