Anyone ever have to sign one of these? Really weird situation happened to me.
To start off, I'm 26 and was dressed in business attire and was shopping at Sendiks in an affluent neighborhood.
I look at sendiks beer selection as always because it's pretty decent and see a bottle of new Belgium Le Terroir dry hopped sour at $8 a bomber. I decide to purchse since I've never had this before. I walk to the register of an approximately 60 yr old lady. I put down my one bottle of beer, paper plates, and lemon pudding ready to pay. Lady asks for some ID which happens from time to time, no big deal.
Then the weird part happens. She pulled put a pad of forms to fill out and takes my ID and starts filling in my info on it. I ask her what this is about and she says, " oh it is a waiver to sign that says you will not distribute this to minors because if they get hurt I could lose job.". I hesitantly say okay and mention that that is pretty unique beer to give to a minor. I didn't mention the fact that I only purchased ONE and it's $8 a bottle! She half apologetically agreed with me. I again mentioned that it was a really weird beer to give to a minor and told her that shed be more productive doing this with cases of bud light and handles of vodka. She asked if it was "heavy" and I said "less than wine". I asked if she does this with everyone and she said only if they are within 5 years.
I was never rude but she could tell I was annoyed. I've had this happen before. If she feels she needs to protect herself, fine but use some discretion and don't criminalize my legal purchase of rather expensive beer. Theyll probably lose thousands of dollars in purchases from me because I will not be buying from them again.
Sorry for the long post but WTF? I guess I should know better than to fulfill orders from rich high school kids with a great palate who like a nice sour after Recess
