Just folowing through with the same strategy as the TSA. Everyone’s guilty or trying to hide something.

Does this mean that Illegal Aliens will no longer be able to buy beer in TN? This could start a nation-wide trend to help solve our illegal immigrant problem. If illegals were denied access to their drink of choice, they would surely go home.

Look for booze sales in neighboring states to increase.

This policy is so stupid I don’t know where to begin. How does requiring a grandmother to show ID help in the fight against underage drinking. Policies like this turn workers into automatons instead of thinking adults exercising common sense.

True story...I am in my late 40s, and look it. I have a gray beard and more hair in my nose and ears than on my head...not to mention the wrinkles and leathery skin of working outdoors for more than 25 years. I was in a Wal-Mart in Mississippi and had purchased about $120 worth of groceries, including a six pack of beer. When it was time to scan the beer, the clerk asked for an ID. I didn’t have one (I leave my drivers license in my truck at all time). She refused to sell me the beer without an ID, and I told her I wasn’t interested in purchasing any of the groceries without the beer. Even the people in line behind me were laughing at the clerk for even assuming I was under 21. Anyway, I ended up leaving all of my groceries there on the counter and left the store without buying anything.

More revenue raising the easy way. Card 50 year old Grandpa, he may be an undercover cop waiting to ticket your store.

As a small business owner who does residential and commercial work, commercial always pays better. One repair on a residential unit might cost the homeowner $250 while the same repair for a commercial unit is $600. Government must have figured that out too.

Its easier to fine a store $2,000 than a citizen.

We all need to look at how our activism is changing the debate on immigration and apply that locally and pressure our lawmakers to do the right thing.

In Texas the TABC started arresting citizens in bars for public intox. That lasted about 2 weeks until our sell out governor got tired of the pressure from the citizenry and business. He decided it was a bad idea.

Sounds more like they want a record of buyers to suspect in the event of an illegal beer party for minors.

Responsible Vendors must pay an annual fee based on the number of certified clerks per store. That fee ranges from $25 for 1-to-15 certified clerks up to $250 for stores with over 100 clerks certified as Responsible Vendors.

Ah yes, I knew there was money to be made.

This is stupid. Stupid liberal solutions always fail, and then the liberals demand more of the failed solutions.

But they were the best for years in handing out drivers licenses to illegals, still passing out renewals to people who haven't ever lived in the state.

These universal ID card checks are stupid but right in line with the no judgement required punishments handed out in our schools for insignificant infractions.

How stupid. We really have a strange fear of booze overhear. Kids can join the army before they can have a beer. A lot of other western countries allow booze from a much younger and chaos hasn’t resulted.

Anyone who should not drink should have a symbol in red on their license not only the underage but the guy/gal with two DUI’s. Then a 100% ID check would make more sense and help keep drunks off the road and out of the bars.

The first time a non-resident of Tn is refused, this goes to court as an inhibitor of interstate commerce and gets struck down.

Immigration? No problem. Education? No problem. But we have to hassel people who want a beer.

Great. They card all beer buyers but refuse to card any voters.
