The Keystones around here do that as well. And I have no problem with it.
Unless they use a teenage who looks like being in the mid-twenties range. Which
they have done - and the "offending" clerk and his company beat
the rap since
they got lucky and drew a judge with a modicum of common sense.

What pisses me off is having to show ID (at 68 (next month)) to buy a 12 pack
of frothingslosh. But, the corp rat board rooms have decreed that beer and
coffin nails are such a huge profit node (and nothing wrong with profits) that
they will implement POS software that requires the clerk to enter a birth year
before completing the sale ... which requires looking at your ID ... which is a
PITA - both for the clerk and the patron.

Thank you MADD, TADD and SADD. Thank you very much. /sarcasm off/
 
ENJOY!!!
