Federal Law is not only very strict when it comes to alcohol and tobacco sales, it is also very strict when it comes to identifying or carding those who purchase those items. It is a serious duty that should be seriously considered. It is good to remember, however, that if you are not comfortable checking IDs for alcohol and tobacco then you shouldn’t say you are. Alcohol and tobacco are commonly purchased items, so you are sure to see them come down your conveyor belt or across your counter.
