In the State of Oregon only state-licensed stores can sell hard liquor. "Hard" seems to be about 20% because you can buy wine and beer under that percentage in grocery stores.
The price is the same at all stores and there's a price list online: http://www.olcc.state.or.us/pdfs/monthly_alpha_price_list_c....
A lot of business is done in cash at these stores. They're traditionally a lucrative place to rob because of the cash. There seems to be some people who don't want to be tracked but mostly the cash customers seem to be people who deal more with cash themselves.

Not if you pay with cash they don't.

They are allowed to ask your for your ID to make sure you're old enough (even if you look much older than enough), so they will still know who you are (just half-joking - they don't use that information to store information on you... or do they).
Not in Sweden, because only state-run stores can sell alcohol (above 3.5% alcohol to be exact) - it's called Systembolaget and they already know exactly how much you drink!
