Make it more illegaler
A bill banning beer sales at self-check out. You know, at the grocer, if I buy beer it flags it so that someone can come verify my age. Just saying. It occurs to me our legislators have too much free time on their hands.

Hell, here in DE you can’t even buy beer in the grocery store.

A bill based on something the lawmaker’s son saw in a movie. The twit doesn’t even make an attempt at claiming there’s an actual problem.
“Let’s ban something because Hollywood said it might be bad!”
*facepalm*

I think it may just be an indication that the lawmakers are compleetely out of touch with reality. Unfortunately, there is a preponderance of evidence that this may be true.

I disagree. The problem is that legislators *do not* have enough free time. They should meet for one week, once a year. Certain legislators should even have that week off.

With tongue firmly in cheek…
This plan would go a lot further if the bill simply banned self-checkouts altogether. That way, there would be no possibility that anyone underage could buy alcohol via the self-checkout lane. Plus, it would help reduce unemployment by keeping a few human cashiers from being downsized.

I’ve had fun with the teenage clerks at our grocery store who try to follow their script for alcohol purchases.
They scan the wine bottle and ask, “May I see some ID, please?” I reply, “No, thank you.”
They get startled and explain they have to see ID by store policy to verify my age. I point to my grey hair and beer gut and ask them how old they think I am.
They either laugh and finish checkout, or insist on store policy being followed. If I say I won’t buy the alcohol, they always, always, always give up and say they will let me through “THIS TIME!”

I worked as a scab at a Kroger during a strike when I was 16. A guy in my class came through the line with some beer. I just bagged it. Yeah, those self gratification lines are such a hazard.
