Our local (recently located in place of one that went out of business) grocery store, for awhile had a similar policy. I’m 63, bald with gray fringe. Regardless, they’d card me every time I would buy my monthly bottle of bourbon. Sheesh.
I guess they had too many complaints because they’ve since stopped the practice.
Will this law prevent the unscrupulous clerk from selling to underage drinkers? No! And the underage are clever enough to ferret out these unscrupulous clerks pretty quickly.
This law essentially does the same thing. The lawmakers are going to control the many to prohibit the few. But, will this law prevent the unscrupulous clerk from selling to underage drinkers? No! And the underage are clever enough to ferret out these unscrupulous clerks pretty quickly.
This is stupid, but understandable when we consider the quality of people we tend to elect to higher office.
I noticed that you live in north central Illinois, I live in Pekin, Illinois. I don’t buy alcohol myself but I have seen people my age being carded. I am 61 yrs old. I asked a clerk about it once and he said it was “store policy”.
Just plain stupid.
Don’t feel bad. I have almost white hair, a goodly share of wrinkles, going on 84 and have been getting the same run around here in Georgia for about five or six years.
iT’S DUMB, DUMB, DUMB!!!!!
