People use Sudafed to make meth, but [the government] still wants it to be purchaseable for it's intended use, so they take down your name and verify your identity so they can keep people from buying more sudafed than one can use as a medicine. If you aren't buying a lot of it, then they will never ever notice your name or do anything with it.

Sudafed is used to extract the drug "ephedrine" or "ephedra" in alot of meth labs. In an effort to keep this from happening, pharmacies are required by law to only sell a specific amount to any 1 customer. If you have exceeded the recommended daily usage, you will not be able to purchase anymore until you are back into the "normal usage" window. I suggest you find a different medicine that works with a normal doseage. You are no doubt taking too much of it to be a healthy thing.

It's an over-the-counter thing that can be used to make illegal drugs. That's why there is a limit on quantity, and why your name is on a list of people who bought more sudafed than anybody could possibly need for a cold.

If you've already bought a lot of sudafed, then they're just following the rules; they can't sell you more than x amount in a certain timespan.
However if this is the first time you are trying to buy sudafed, you're name might be being used in identity theft. Talk to the manager of this store immediately.

Sudafed has a ingredient in it that people use to make drugs. Therefore a law has been passed that you have to have your drivers license to buy it, must be over 18 and you are only allowed to purchase a certain amount. Sad isn't it? Same thing with baby formula and some other medicines.

It means people buy sudafed to make meth, and so the government has restricted the sale of sudafed

How many packages did ya try to buy at one time? Or have you been in and out all day and that was all you were buying?
Can't answer this question w/o more details.
Also curious as to why you think they would be keeping a list...you an addict or a cook? That would be the ONLY reason one would be buying so much.

You are on a list when you buy it now; that's why you have to go to the pharmacy counter to get it. You must have bought some recently. You can only buy so much a month.

You are not being specific
walgreens has plenty of Sudafed
you are talking about the one behind the counter where the active ingredient can be used to make speed.
