Target does this, and now most recently Safeway Grocery stores do too. Others as well.

It really bothers me because you have no way to verify they are only checking your age, and not looking at other information and/or storing information about you.

Everything necessary to steal someone's identity is in those barcodes, and with retail stores not treating sensitive data like Credit Card data properly (and resultingly leaking said data), I take great issue with them now wanting to scan my driver's license.
