This place is full of misinformation. I was driving by this place and decided to stop and get my lotto ticket here. It's not the usual lotto spot for me, but I thought, what the heck. So, I go inside to purchase my lotto ticket and the young lady asks me for my driver license.
I am a senior citizen, and no one has ever asked me for my driver license before to buy a lotto ticket. So, I get it out, and ask what I was doing this for, and she said it was due to a new law that the City of Hesperia just passed a few days ago. She then didn't look at my birthdate to verify my age, instead, she wanted to scan my driver license. It could have been someone else's ID for all she knew, since she didn't look at the face side. So, she scanned my license. I have no idea where this info is going, or being stored.
I get in my car to go home and decide to call the City of Hesperia to inquire about this "new law". I keep up on things, and hadn't heard a word about it.
After speaking to the city Manager, they confirmed to me that there was no such law passed by the city. So, this young lady at Chevron was lieing to me, or at the very least, extremely confused and giving out the wrong information. Not the type of person you want to be giving your driver ID to.
The city Manager told me the only such law that exists would be a state law, and that it was passed many years ago, and doesn't require the "scanning" of driver licenses, per say.
It appears as though this particular Chevron station on 7th and Main is the only entity in Hesperia who is telling people they are required to scan personal driver licenses to purchase a lotto ticket.
It very well could be, that this is a policy of just this one place. A policy they just made up.
So, I won't be going here ever again.
I don't want my driver license being scanned to purchase a lotto ticket when I am a senior citizen and it is obvious I am old enough to legally purchase one. read more
