Oh my goodness! This story just made me laugh! A grocery store in the UK refused to sell Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce to a 25 year old woman because she didn't have her ID with her! Apparently the sauce contains a 2% alcohol content (um, doesn't mouthwash contain alcohol too?). She was with a friend who was 27 and had ID but they refused to sell it to him because they felt he would just give it to her! LOL I've never understood this. Here in Florida, you cannot buy even NON-alcoholic beer on Sunday before noon as it is illegal to sell alcohol before noon. So, if it's NOT non-alcoholic, why do they CALL it non-alcoholic? Anyway, I thought this was pretty funny. Here's the link to the whole story.
We live in a weird world!

I don't know if Florida is one of them, but in some states, a form of entrapment is practiced by the state around this law. They send in an agent who they feel looks to be under the age of 30, and if the business doesn't card, they're busted. That agent can be any age, even well over 30, and the business can still get busted for selling alcohol inappropriately because of the law.
The business I work for has responded to this practice by enacting a policy of not selling to anyone, regardless of age, unless they can show ID. It is a company-wide policy, spanning multiple states. The company has a record of my birth date (1972) yet my co-workers are still required to card me if I want to buy anything from our beer cave.
I don't know if Jack Daniels bbq sauce, with its 2% alcohol, is covered by the law, but NA beer is (you can't sell it to anyone under 18) so the business was probably just covering the bases to avoid legal action. It is ridiculous, but I totally understand the reason why it happened.
hmmmmm.
A computer room, let's see, I couldn't believe it.
Some grocery stores will not sell the extra-large packs of toilet paper if a group of teenagers comes in to make the purchase--because it's fairly obvious that someone's house is going to get rolled. Sort of guilt by association, or aiding and abetting. Too bad that kind of logic can't be applied to gun shops.....
