Question about IDs for alcohol...

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I know, but I think that's ridiculous. It's just the fact that nowhere else in my entire town, including the ABC store does this happen.

Sure it's ridiculous and overbearing and inconvenient, but for a store to have such a policy means at one time or another, they've been busted for such an event and are taking precautions to not get busted again. Add on the fact that you're in a college town, and would be easier to add alcohol to a larger purchase than alcohol alone (say freshman and roommate are buying groceries and tries to sneak a 6er past the goaltender) at an ABC store could be why the Kroger is being a big stick in the mud.

Yeah it sucks and annoying and you want to throw cashier boy through the storefront window, but is it really all that bad?

But obviously from my other thread, it kind of puts things in perspective of what I should get upset about...

Meh, kind of.

I only say "kind of" because they're ball-breakers about it. It's one thing with the cashier obviously acts like they don't want to do it, but it's another when they put on their cape are like, I'm "SUPER ID-CASHIER!".
