   I had a fake ID, and it being scannable was a huge selling point. Convenience stores all scan, and don't seem to care if you look underage. I was only turned down two or three times, usually at bars and restaurants.

      The first thing I do with a real ID is widen the reference bars on the sides so the checkout scanner can't read it. If they want my birthday they can type it in manually, I don't need all my info in some store database.

         At 7-11, they will not - cannot - do this. Their pos system requires a scannable license, and will block even a 50 year old from buying age restricted items. N=3 stores for me, and only tested in NY.
