Arkansas salon requires thumbprint to get a tan
(Boing Boing): Today Breanna went to a tanning place in her hometown of Fayetteville, Arkansas to get a spray tan. The person asked to take an electronic scan of her thumbprint in order for her to be allowed to get her spray tan.
It’s not often (if ever) that Arkansas gets a mention on Boing Boing, but I would have never guessed it’d have been about a topic like this. In the salon’s defense, thumbprints pretty much get around the whole literacy problem.
