Most
liquor stores in the city have what you call an ID Register – connected
directly to their cash register that will stop an underage sale before
it happens. This device enables the store clerk to be informed that
their customer that they are serving is underage by scanning their
driver's license or identification card and then causes the cash
register to not allow the sale to be rung in. Unfortunately, we heard
that many clerks in the city are too lazy to use the device in order to
make a quick sale quickly.
