Uh..people who don't want to drive to Portland for a drink? There is always a dick in the crowd.
Actually Vancouver has a good club scene if you know where to look and you're not a dick.
I have no problems with proprietors taking my picture entering their bar...they do it anyway (closed-circuit anyone?), but this whole idea of tracking bar users through magentic-strip cards is complete doo-doo. This is way to invasive on the old privacy. Next thing you know Molsen will be calling us on Sunday trying to sell you beer.
Mind you, we could use the magnetic strips to track people who slag on Vancouver's bars and then round them up and toss their silly butts back to whatever trailer park they come from. That would be cool.
