In Tennessee, where I am from, they scan everyone’s license on every alcohol purchase. In Florida and particularly in the villages they don’t seem to do that. The clerk uses their judgement. An obvious villagers retiree does not get asked for ID. But it only takes a few seconds to scan the IDs. If all purchases have a birthdate on them then underage sales are reduced because the clerk can’t just look the other way, they have to actually enter a fraudulent date.

I wish they would just scan licenses 100%.
