18 to buy spray paint?

Postby teul2 » Tue Jul 31, 2018 3:52 pm

WTF?
I went to tractor supply today to get some stakes to do a dog training drill. I wanted to paint a few orange so the dog can't see them as well / at all, so I grabbed a rattle can of some Kubota orange. Then I get carded at the cash register as if I am buying prescription drugs. And yea, I look like the type to go "tag" a train car in my spare time too.

When did they start age restricting when you can buy paint?

I don’t think they’re worried about graffiti as much as they are worried about you sniffing the contents to destroy brain cells for fun.

I think it’s more a large company thing rather than a law? Bit I have no idea.

I was at h Depot this week buying 12 cans of cheap flat black. The lady somewhat jokingly asked me if I was over 18. I said no, I’m 15.
I said why? She told me you had to be 18 to buy spray paint????? I promptly told her, I haven’t been 18 in over 30 years. WTH have we come too?

Sounds like you boys have been profiled... Prob win some money in a law suit
I am interested in purchasing duck calls that were made by Mike McLemore. I am a family member and they have a sentimental value.

I didn't change it ya conspiracy theorist. :lol:

There is a lot of discussion as to exactly what they see. Some dogs pick the color out quite well. But that can be repetitive training and learning to pick the contrasting color. A bright orange bumper against a green grass may stand out well to them. The spectrum below doesn't include brown or tans like dead grass. So I am not sure how those contrast against each other. But they see the color, it just isn't as bright to them as us.
