Safeway IDs Everyone In Your Party When You Buy Beer

Safeway IDs Everyone In Your Party When You Buy Beer

This is regular practice at most stores where I live (Austin). Young-looking people know to bring ID or stay outside, even if their friend is buying. It sucks, but the TABC (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission) is insanely tough on underage drinking, so they're basically covering their asses. At a restaurant where I worked, a (great) server was fired for not carding a corporate secret shopper who had salt and pepper hair. Seriously. I bet this is an actual store policy. Don't blame the cashier for following policy to keep his/her job.
