So for a few reasons, I find it rather difficult to tell for certain if someone is intoxicated, and I really don't think I can refuse an alcohol sale just because "maybe, there's a slight possibility that he COULD be drunk"...
So i've devised a nice method - if I see a couple of the possible warning signs on someone, when they come up to the counter, I'll say in a jovial tone "Hey, you boys look like you been out doin' some drinkin'!"
And when they say "HELL YEAH MAN! We're freakin' WASTED!"
Sorry, no booze. Yeah, it's a little bit crappy because I basically tricked them, but when we're talking about my job, my life, fines, lawsuits, maybe even jail time, not to mention someone ELSE'S life and maybe even that guys life that I refused...I don't see that it's such a big deal but I usually get these disapproving looks from upper management when they hear about it.
