“I need to see everyone’s ID...”

I don’t know all those details. I was responding to his comment about Weigmans having a policy to card everyone when buying beer, but he didn’t have any issues when buying beer while being accompanied by 2 minors.

But 2 adults get shit when buying a bottle of wine.

Seems counterproductive to the “spirit of the rule” IMO.

That's my point - the rules change depending on where you are. Our rules aren't the same as CCS' or MA's rules.

If you don't like shopping at retail stores because they think you might be a thief, you definitely wouldn't want to work in retail. I worked at a Finish Line store for one holiday season in high school and was damn near cavity searched everyday on the way out the door.

Meh. I live and work in an upper social economic area that is populated mostly by whites. A lot of time they don’t even lock up the stores after they close for the day.

Wegmans has a policy of ID for everyone who buys beer. I’ve gone in with my kids and have never had an issue. Granted, they are both under 10 but that’s besides the point. The policy is there to take the decision out of the cashier’s hands and places the onus on corporate. A young kid can’t always determine who looks over 30 and who doesn’t. And the cops that run these stings in Onondaga and Oswego county use these pawns that are 18 and legit look like they’re 30+. You wanna be a 19yr old kid who gets arrested and fined because you made a judgment call on what 21 years old looks like? In NY it’s no joke.

The receipt thing bugs me more, but I got bigger fish and all that... y’all to re-fucking-lax.

Yep, stings are the reason I card the way I do, which pisses me off because I believe they are the definition of entrapment. If a 60 year old comes up and says he's getting a drink for his wife, I have to tell him that I need to see her to make sure she's of age. It makes me look ridiculous and they get pissed, but cops pull that shit to bust us so I have to do it.

The other one I've learned is that if two women order drinks and one is obviously younger, just ask for both because the old one usually gets offended. I'd rather annoy than deal with a 40 year old woman who thinks she looks 25.
 
I get IDed more for smokes than beer anymore.

The Revenuers seem to be out there scamming the stores on smoke sales than beer anymore.

That’s the kind of shit that is aggravating to me. The complete lack of logic and/or common sense is fucking pathetic.

Technically (at least in Wisconsin when I got my liquor licence) it's illegal to drink if you don't have a valid ID, and also illegal to be served... wouldn't want nana breaking the law would you? :crackup:
 
I think the national media director may not be accurate in his statements about the local store policy :D
 
According to the national level spin guy they have on staff he shouldn't have. However he did ultimately say they could do so if they chose to.

They can deny a sale for any reason they like. You do not have an inherent right to buy shit.

That is also something I’ve never understood.

The whole point is to be able to prove you are of legal drinking age. What in the hell does the validity of your license have to do with that?

If someone is old enough to drink, then tomorrow their license expires, that doesn’t change their age. They are still old enough to drink.

Your age doesn't change, but the legal validity of your documentation of age does.

A note from your mamma saying that you are 30 years old isn't valid proof of age.

An expired ID is no longer a valid legal document, therefore, IT isn't valid proof of age.

Dickly semantics, absolutely, but a legally valid argument.

Legal doesn't have anything to do with "right" or "common sense".
