    FWIW, I’m about as white as they come, and I’ve probably been carded more in my lifetime to buy spray paint than I have for alcohol.

    It’s pretty standard practice in my area. Maybe it’s different in other places, or from one store to another, but most places around me seem to err on the side of carding everyone.
