I stopped by Safeway today and the guy in front of me bought a single 20oz beer. Apparently they have some new ridiculous process for buying alcohol, I?m not sure why but thought you guys would get a kick out of it:
Cashier: Sir can I see your ID?
Customer: [hands over ID]
Cashier: Are you over the age of 21?
Customer: [confused look on face considering he just handed her his ID]?. Yes
Cashier: We have a new policy to check your ID that I have to go through this will just take a min. [pulls out a transparent sleeve and sticks his ID in it to help check for counterfeits, records his drivers license number on a clipboard she has and signs it]; since you were born in the 80?s I have to get my manager to verify this [calls manager on overhead]
Everyone: [waiting 2-3 min. for the manager to come up front]
Manager: Sir are you over the age of 21?
Customer: Yes
Manager: [also signs sheet on clipboard]
Cashier: [proceeds to ring up his purchase]
As much as I like to stand in line for 10 min. while waiting for the ?express lane? I think I?m going to make it a point to not buy beer at Safeway!
