I work in a store that sells wine, beer, spirits, & more (😉). I’m a Merchandiser so I mainly work on digital orders placed by customers to be picked up by them or through DoorDash, Grizzly, or Uber Eats. We have signs posted everywhere yours eyes could possibly travel to saying “please show your ID” “we ID all customers”. Stuff like that.

I’ve been working here a little over a year now and it was a few weeks ago that I had someone come in to pick up a DoorDash order. I ask who it’s for, find the order and scan it. I ask for their ID and scan that. It comes up with an error and I turn it around to see the year: 2006. I suck at math so I had no idea how old he actually was but according to my device h3 definitely wasn’t 21+.

I tell him so, you are not of age to be picking up this order. He looks at me all confused like “can’t pick up order?” (English is his second language).

I hold my tongue to stop myself from going off on him by saying something like, NO you cannot handle this alcohol because you’re under 21! I’m pretty sure I had, had a bad day that day. Can’t remember but I remember being dumfounded.

I tell him, no I cannot release this order to you because you are under age. Bc English is his second language I think he just left out of confusion.
