Apparently you have to be 18 years old to purchase spray paint now. I found this out the insulting way as I was self-checking out of Walmart with a can of bright yellow spray paint for some outdoor accent furniture, and a pack of sandpaper. As I tried to complete the transaction, the screen refused to let me finish, saying an associate was needed to help. After calling a young woman over, she punched in some code and the question came across the screen: Is the customer over 18? The woman very quickly, too quickly if you ask me, clicked ‘Yes’.
“Are you sure?” I asked from behind my mask, laughing a little.
“I can see your hair,” she replied.
So it’s like that.
