A Purdue University student said he was unable to purchase cold medicine from a CVS store in Indiana because a member of the staff wouldn’t accept his Puerto Rican identification and U.S. passport as valid identification.

Jose Guzman Payano told a local ABC affiliate in an interview this week that he had gone to the local CVS store to buy “normal over-the-counter medicine” due to a sore throat.

Once he was there, he told the station that he scanned all his items at the local store, and “then I scanned my Mucinex bottle.”

After scanning the bottle, Payano said he was asked to provide identification. So he showed a store clerk his Puerto Rico I.D.
