If you weren't trying to buy a bunch, I would definitely inquire. Maybe they've changed the rules and go by telephone numbers or something. If you really need sudafed, which is a wonderful decongestant, I'd suggest going to CVS or Walmart or even your local grocery store. You should be fine if you only need it for the occasional cold and are buying consumer-sized portions. Try some vitamin C too. That's stuff's still legal!

The store has to have some sort of record with your name on it in order to tell you this info.

Did you lose your ID? I would ask for any paperwork, actually I would insist on it. Last time I had to buy Sudafed I was asked to furnish a picture ID and it had to be "valid" (current and up to date). If it is a store you frequent they should know you, at least be able to tell you look like your photo on your ID. Especially if you have a lot of prescriptions to fill on a regular basis. This is why I use only one pharmacy.

Is there anyone with your same name? Here there is a lady with the same name and same birthday as my mom and she has twice been given her perscription and the lady even has the same doctor and the doctors office even pulled the wrong chart. She always has to check what adress they have listed. So that could be it too.

I would chase it down as well. It is not fun when someone gets a hold of your data. There may be a simple solution/reason, but I'd want to be sure.
...as for the rude employee. Can you speak with the manager or complain to corporate? If that doesn't yield resolution, can you vote with your wallet and shop elsewhere?
