FARMINGTON, Maine - A 65-year-old woman who went into a Farmington supermarket to buy wine was turned away because she didn't have an ID with her. But Skapa of Mount Vernon says that won't happen again. "I'll be bringing my driver's license with me from now on," Skapa said.
A spokeswoman for the supermarket chain, R. Howes, said Hannaford's new policy is to check IDs of anyone who looks under 45 and wants to buy alcohol. The previous policy was to check for proof of age of those who look younger than 30.
My Comment:
65 being carded for looking 45!!??
Because Maine is doing Alcohol Stings, this is actually a good thing the cashier did! Might of been horriblly embarrassing for all involved, but, I have a friend who was FIRED for selling to someone the state had dressed up as a 50-ish yr old person. How is one to tell that the 'makeup' is FAKE??
My friend has to pay a fine, $1500 !! As does the store she'd worked at for 4 or more years!
Rediculous!
