We used to be able to override if the customer looked over a certain age but that all changed a year or so ago. The explanation I got from one of my supervisors was that some of the younger cashiers were overriding for their friends and so now we have to card everyone.

Really? At the Little Shop of Horrors, the under-age couldn't ring up restricted products at all. They'd have to get a CSM to take over for that transaction, or deflect the consumer to an older cashier's register.Customers should always be served . . . to the nearest great white.

Quoth RealUnimportant View PostIn the UK, if a cashier is under-age they have to get approval from someone of age to confirm they've checked ID. Of course, this requires the supers to do their jobsI am so SO glad I was not present for this. There would have been an unpleasant duct tape incident. - Joi

It is the most over the top ID policy for booze I've heard to be honest. Either way there's no need for people to be complete asses to the cashier who is trying to comply with not only corporate policy but also state and federal LAW!I don't get paid enough to kiss your a**! -Groezig 5/31/08

I think this policy is why I'm glad I don't drink. But still, it would suck as a cashier having to follow this entire procedure.To right the countless wrongs of our days... We shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise...Oh, what a wonderful world such would be...

Quoth Kagato View PostI think the big issue is that not everywhere uses photographic ID
Seriously though, you don't like the store's ID policy? STFU and go elsewhere, it's not that hard.
Same goes for giving the cashier a hard time . . . again, just STFU, the cashier does NOT make the rules, only has to follow them to keep his/her job.
Frankly, IMPO, if you're gonna throw that much of a fit over having to show your ID, you probably don't need the booze to begin with. Come back when you're more mature and can act like a decent human being when faced with a setback kthanxbye.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)

At the Mal of Wart, under age cashiers simply weren't allowed to ring 'em up, period. An "of age" cashier had to come in and finish the transaction for them. Basically, policy was, underage employees could not take money for any item that they were not of age to use.
The underage ones had signs that stated they weren't of age.. and the cigarette isle was always manned by a 21 years or older cashier. But that never stopped stupid idiots from plunking their beer down after everything else was rung up and then bitching because their cashier would have to wait until I or another over age cashier was free to finish the transaction. It's her job on the line, not yours, dumbass. Don't take it out on her, because YOU failed to read the not at all small sign that was hanging on the pole...
And don't bitch because I would come up to finish the transaction and I looked younger than the poor girl who was waiting on you. I seriously got carded by the CSMs and management on a regular basis, which was why I had my ID.. which was more than I could say for some of the SCs that I had to deal with.If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

At the Malmart I worked at, you could check out alcohol if you were 18 or older. Under that you could not even touch it--I had to switch spots with more than one underage coworker for that very reason.

We have a machine at the store. It reads the basic identifying info (name, bdate, expdate, state of origin), and tells us whether they're old enough to drink or smoke.
The whole thing is encrypted. The cops or courts could get it off, but we can't. It's a brilliant device. And when we've got a line six deep, it's a nice quick way of verification. No writing down anything, just slide the strip or barcode through, and boom.
