Sure, I understand, that if a movie is restricted (rated “R”) that the same procedures that occur at a movie theater would be followed at a store selling a copy of that movie. The age to see a rated “R” film, 17 and older, unless accompanied by an adult, would also need to be complied if buying a copy of that film (and I’m guessing in the days of video rentals the age restriction was probably also enforced). Yes, I get all that, But I was still annoyed, at the age of 61, to have my age checked, in order to buy a rated “R” film. And if you’ll note, he didn’t really check my ID.

BTW, I originally saw “Blazing Saddles” in the theater, when I was 13 years old.

Of course, I was accompanied by an adult.
