A friend and I go into TOTAL WINE & MORE and we get carded. The cashier asks are you both at least 30 years old? (If you are going to card someone, What does being 30 have to do with anything?)
My friend says I'm not, and I say I am! So the cashier calls for a manager.
Me: "What's the problem?"
Mgr: "I can't sell you alcohol if he doesn't have ID proving he's 21.
Me: I'm 51 so what's the problem?
You have my ID!!! So, I try to send my friend back out to the truck.
Mgr: Well we can't sell you alcohol for 24 hours now because you came in with him and he doesn't have an ID proving he's of age.
Me: You are going to make us go all the way home to get his ID? I showed you my ID, That's not good enough???
Mgr: There's a problem with a 3rd party (adult) providing alcohol to minors. Adults providing alcohol to minors!!! Is he your son? What does that have to do with anything? I couldve said yes!!!
The manager said well if he Isn't 21 he shouldn't even be in the store! Well he was in the store and we shopped for at least 15 minutes. (Isn't that my responsibility as the adult purchasing the alcohol, to NOT provide alcohol to minors? He's 24 and a United States Marine that I said I would vouch for his age!)
THAT'S RIDICULOUS AND TOTAL BS! THEY GOT THE & MORE RIGHT!
I will not shop there and urge all of you to do the same! They are making up the Law and enforcing it in their way, for their convenience or their lack of enforcing the card everyone requirement!
I want to go in there and load up two carts of alcohol with tons of loose bottles and go up to the register and say oops, I forgot my ID!
TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I'D RATE IT A ZERO!!!
