I wish they would just scan licenses 100%.

In Connecticut, we were required to check everyone's ID because the law was - you have to present one in order to buy booze. So any cashier who did NOT check - was breaking the law, and any customer who bought booze without showing their ID - no matter how old they were - was also breaking the law.
It's not a "close-down" violation, it's a citation as long as the person buying is over 21. But cashier have absolutely been given citations for NOT checking a customer's ID, regardless of how old they looked.
No ID, no service.
