This a complaint about your Pick ‘n Save store management at 405 N Wales Rd, Wales, WI 53183.
I have shopped at this location, and multiple others for decades—I am what you should call a “regular / good” customer, at least in my eyes.
Today (Oct 11 2026) my issue happened (with the same employee) for the third time. He is a male that works the self-checkout lanes (I do not know his name; I may photograph his name tag next time and leave my basket full to leave without purchasing)
Twice before I showed him my Wisconsin Driver’s License (I am 68 years old) and he made me pull my license out, give it to him, and he scanned it into your computer on the check-out machine when I bought beer.
Today I refused to take it out and give it to him when I also wanted to purchase beer from your company for maybe the 1000th time over multiple years and stores, including before ID was required.
He refused to sell it to me if I did not give him my License and let him scan it into your database and he said (quote) “That is my policy”.
I let him scan my driver’s license again (the same guy), then later thought---hackers hack Government servers and all in between---so now some hacker has access to my name, address and driver’s license number and all other info on my license about me---just to buy beer! “His policy” my blank. Not to mention internal employees at your company using such information illegally (which happens a lot) and someone using all such information to produce a fake driver’s license in my name!
I have always shown my ID (I am 68 years old to remind you) but will never again let one of your employees scan it into your database ever again. (Note- at the same location with other of your employees I had to simply show my ID and they entered my birthdate—again that is not his “policy” when he has to do the same.
If and “when” you agree and stand behind his “policy” (of scanning driver’s license for birthdate), I will never again purchase alcohol from your company again (Mucho dollars I buy per year from multiple stores in WI and never, ever had to submit my License to be scanned into your database!)---Mark my words!
In my opinion, his “policy” is illegal. An attorney I know could not believe such happened to buy alcohol at any store regardless of name or where located.
Please respond (If you do not, I hope you realize you will lose a faithful customer for over 35+ years)
