What the hell do they do when a parent buys beer with a kid in the cart!? That’s about as stupid as not letting a cashier ring up beer because they’re under 21. That’s happened to me at Publix. Happen to us at Winn Dixie probably 20 years ago.

I understand why they do it. Lots of folks trying to sue for every little thing this day and time. Straw buyers happen all the time.

In TN every store that sells booze is supposed to check ID no matter how old you are. All the mini-mart type stores do it and it's a pain in the ass.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I hate being asked for my phone number or anything else when I’m paying with cash. Just ring it up and take the money. It freaks the cashiers out to ask for their phone number when they ask for mine.

They sell it to them. A few months ago I bought a six pack or 12 pack, along with other groceries, at Walmart and had my 10 year old with me. As we started to leave, my 10 year old started to reach for the cart to push it out. The cashier stopped him and told me had he touched the cart, she would have had to of taken the beer back. I guess it didn't matter that he had pushed the cart all over the store already.

yeah thats happened to me on a few occasions I hate shopping there but some times theres no other choice. There's always another choice. I haven't been to Walmart in almost a year and I don't plan to ever go in there again.

Don't blame WalMart for this. They were just in CYA mode. The blame should be on the children who choose to get drunk and drive, and the person that bought the alcohol for them. The kids wreck a vehicle and get killed and the parents sue the store that sold it to someone of legal age who then sold it or gave it to the kids. Of course there is no money in suing the person that bought the beer or wine for the kids so you sue the party with the deep pockets which happens to be WalMart.
Cooperate CYA. It's the world we live in.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I promise if any of y'all who were behind the OP in line would have been frothing at the mouth if he said, "Honey, just run out to the car and get your ID and bring it back so we can finish checking out."
I understand the desire to crack down on underage drinking, but it would be nice if some common sense was also used. I think it is ridiculous that a family cannot go to the store as a family and check out with alcohol now. I guess if you have your family with you, only one of you needs to wait in line and pay for things and be sure to have the ID handy.
There have been times when we have gone in a store and I didn't carry a purse in because DoA had the same plastic in his wallet that I would have used otherwise, but we have not run into that particular issue with just the two of us.
I can tell you that if your teenage son owes you money, asking him for it while checking out with your beer at Walmart is not the best idea. He had a similar reaction as the OP. We left and he got it elsewhere.

I use my bank card about 99% of the time and am constantly asked for my phone number. I just say, "I'd rather not" . transaction is completed and I leave with my merchandise. I give 'em the inlaws #😁 I give them Perch’s number. That's a great idea 😁 But I'm sure its already written on every bathroom chithouse from here to Texas
How many people am i willing to sacrifice for freedom? Everyone. All of them...
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

One time my brother and I were at Wal-Mart picking up a few items and got some beer. My nephew, who was probably 12 at the time, was with us. We were standing at the checkout and my nephew was unloading the buggy. The cashier said to my brother “he is not allowed to touch the alcohol” to which my brother replied “hell he put it in the buggy! If you don’t want him touching it then put it up on a damn shelf where he can’t reach it!”.

I just left the beer and about $100 worth of other stuff sitting on the register counter and left. Went across the street and bought the same stuff with no problems.

I once had a brain dead manager, at Academy in montgomery, refused to sell me more than one box of 5.56 ammo. He claimed it was "federal law" that I could only purchase one box. I was polite, the first time I explained to him there was no such law. The second time I threw the box at him and told him he could keep the $100 worth of other stuff I was about to purchase as well.

All you had to do is have her walk off. If she isn't there they can't ask to see it. Back in Texas in March we had a buggy full of beer for our week's stay and I heard the check-out woman say she needed to see everyone's ID. I just walked away. Stupid rules. This probably is something akin to "common sense beer laws,"

If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

Just FYI, too, Target also checks IDs like this. Or the snotty woman who asked for mine did the last time I was in there. I left everything on the counter and walked out.
Retail stores can set their policies. I can choose to go elsewhere.

When I have been asked that question I just reply "I dont know that person. They are not with me".
Its like having to show ID to buy a knife (Im looking at you Academy).
I love my country, but don't trust my government.

There will be others who easily make up that $300 and won't care about showing an ID. Just like Dick's Sporting Goods making up the loss of a few gun owners with the stick-and-ball sports buyers.

sad thing is $300 don't mean a damn to them.
They're closing in on $500 Billion in sales annually, they probably sold $300,000 globally in the time its taken me to type this.

I did once. They don't have to worry about it happening again though. I don't even like to drive by there. The same can be said for Dick's and Gander Mountain. I may not be able to run them out of business, but I can do my little part to make it happen, just like I didn't defeat Hitlery but I did my little part to make it happen.
