It is a convenient store and it gets hit with sting opps a lot. They pic some of the busiest times to put in several "kids" to catch you.

They do look older that 30. But with the way the law is it does not mater. I will do my best. I DO NOT want to go to jail.

Juggling speed and carding everyone is going to be fun!

of the morning before you can legally sell it.I hated not being able to sell it to him, but I legally could not for another half hour. I thought the poor guy was going to cry. He couldn't wait because he was on his way to his construction job.

He hit 12 bars that night. They busted all 12 for selling to a minor.

The bar owners pooled their resources and hired a high-power attorney, but the MOMENT the judge
saw the "kid" (who was now clean-shaven and dressed like a high-schooler), he told him that he had
a 28-year-old son who looked younger than HE did and threw the case out of court.

But yeah, be careful -- also be careful for yourself. MiddleFingerMomTim got a job as a 7/11 night
manager during one summer break from college. Three high-schoolers walked in and just started
carrying out cases of beer (it was graduation night at their school). He trapped one of them in the
store by locking the door -- behind his back -- but he didn't lock it properly and the other two came
in and beat him up.

The police downtown had a highschool yearbook and he identified all three -- but the mothers of
all three SWORE their sweet innocent baby boys had been with THEM all night.

It's one of the most dangerous jobs in the country.

(edit to add): It is not your money and they are not your goods. The owners have insurance to
cover many losses, so don't ever put yourself in harms way.
