Iam well above 30 years of age to buy cigarettes or alchol in the state of alabama but your store in Lillian Al still wants to see my ID I will go to the other stores in Fl or here in Lillian to do my business.Just glad they opened cashsavers right over the bridge in Pensacola. I will no longer shop this store or any of your other stores anywhere. Please tell your employyes to use their common sense and embaress people who are well above the legal age to buy things from your employees that are always a revoling door at this store!!!!

Location: Lillian, Alabama

Its the law jackwad. We can personally be held financially responsible by the law by not following the procedures. The fact that you were inconvenienced is not the employee nor managers fault.

You cannot even spell alcohol. I doubt you are of legal drinking age.

If your 57 year old son still needs you to fight his battles something is wrong. At 57 most men have a wife and children, an in some cases grandchildren.

Why do you adults like kids?

Ok I have a question what about a manager denying a customer to purchase alcohol and tobacco just because they have a passport or foreign ID both are valid. Also what do we do if a cashier has already sold alcohol to a customer twice in one night and has ID him but on the third time the customer returns to the store on the same day and cashier realizes that ID is expired how do you handle that situation when customer gets irate

The same tonight. Not accepting two valid Mexican IDs with photo, birth date, expiration date.

And individual who is 38 years old. I understand policy but some common sense. And I was purchasing the six pack, he was just with me.

I offered to leave and come back in alone. No go either

You claim you understand policy, but you do not. You are the one that needs to use common sense.

Ask the irate customer to leave if they do not calm down. If they do not call the police.

Guest

Pissy a!! store for customer WELL OVER 21years old. Dumb requirement for a person 60 yrs old and you card them as if they want to buy beer or liqu.

Guest

Really use common sense If an ID is stolen; you receive a legal emailed temporary ID then it is a valid ID. Loose the attitude when questioned on why you wonโ€™t accept a state issued legal temporary ID.

Claiming you will be fined or imprisoned shows how ignorant you actually are. Show me one case where a person was fined or imprisoned for selling alcohol or cigarettes to a person of legal age just because there was not an ID shown.

Apparently customer service is not high on their priority list and based on what I have read here they have too many customers to care if they loose any. Fabulous business model.

I doubt you are old enough to buy cigarettes. What difference does it make.

I agree. Many of the people replying here lack maturity and education. I doubt that they are old enough to buy cigarettes.

The employee is on camera and has to ask for I.d. If you donโ€™t like it, shop elsewhere or open your own store.

Yeah I have a bad experience wherever I go because I look so young but Iโ€™m 40 and I live across the street from a dollar general and Iโ€™ve been going there for over a year buying tobacco products and they keep guarding me every time I go in there Iโ€™m just getting tired of it
