ID follies

[BrenDAnn]

They don't even TRY to hide it at the C-store. Coworker J had two young men come into the store the other night. They stood at the front of the first aisle, chatting and looking over the cig rack behind the front counter. Soon enough, one of them stepped up and requested some cigs. J, being the intelligent, alert man he is, ID'd the guy. He was old enough. J grabbed requested pack of cigs. Cue the other guy (the non-paying one): "Those aren't the ones I wanted!" J stopped, asked the second guy for ID, and found out he was underage. Sale denied, fit thrown, J not amused. End of story. Stupid kids. At least leave the minor you're buying for outside!!

that and a not-well known part of that law is also if you make a sale in good faith(buyer had valid ID), and the alcohol gets consumed by a minor, and said minor gets into an accident-the person that made the sale can be held liable. Check your laws, and CYA.

it's called the DRAM shop law in WI 125.035

thaks for the specifics. I just remembered what they taught us in class, but they also said CYA. it is better to be careful and get yelled at by said customers than to get fired, fined, sued and jailed all for one innocent "mistake".

*cues the playing of the techno-remix version of Jester's "Show ID"...*

[Jester]

Okay, Patch....I'd love to see what you do for the techno remix myself. Have at it!

For those of you new to the boards, here's the original, which I penned many years ago:
THE ID SONG

[to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands]

"If you order alcohol, show ID.
If you want me to serve you booze, let me see.
If you want to get a drink
Then folks you have to think
That if you look that young you'll need your damn ID!

If you're legal and you're thirsty, show some proof.
If you left your home without it you're a goof.
If you're legal and you know it
and you want a drink, then show it.
Cause the only way you're drinking is with proof!”

And now, in honor of Bella's issues, here is the Lost Third Verse, which was recently discovered by a vigilant janitor in a medicine cabinet behind some extra-strength suppositories in a basement at Dayton University:

"If you're under 21, then stay outside.
If your friends are buying booze, you'd better hide.
If your legal friends are buying,
And you don't wanna see 'em crying,
Stay away or you will see the sale denied!"


(Techno-remix version, huh? This oughtta be good...)

Awesome, Jester!

[sweetj82]

the one time when I was 17 my boyfriend was taking myself and his friend home(who is 18) The friend stopped to get cigs and was turned down b/c I was in the car.

The friend blamed me b/c I wasnt 18 than he went in and bitched out the cashier. Needless to say my bf never gave his friend a ride home again when I was with.

[Jester]

Awesome, Jester!

God, I hate it when pretty girls get down on their knees for m---

Oh, thank you very much, Bella!
