Had a fun time visiting the US, clerk didn't understand why she couldn't scan my ID and find it in the database. All that for trying to buy some cigarettes as I was a smoker at the time and didn't bring much with me (stupid mistake, they're way more expensive in the US)
I couldn't find my wallet one day when buying some vapes and the store always requires ID, so I brought my passport guy was like I can't scan this, and I said it's a freaking passport so he scanned some random ID they had.
UNSCANNABLE! https://youtu.be/Gg--VIL2I6Y
Depends on the state. In Missouri I can easily find cigarettes under 5 dollars.
