My name is ***** ***** I can assist you.

Policies can be silly but sometimes avoid accusations of discimination by usin' one policy at all times.

It is annoyin to need ID at 70 but I don't see an attny question .

Speak to Supv. about maybe a policy exemptin' people ove 65...

Mellie, Expert

Please submit 5***** so I can be paid byJA.

In NY eveyone also needs ID to buy tobacco poducts.

Customer

Is it legal?! I`ve been buying cigarets and alcohol ever since I emigrated in USA 37years ago and nobody ever asked me about my ID.-Does anybody have the right to make any rule they want?-what to speak with supervisor?I did see the manager and his answer was -if you don`t like it,then go and buy from somewere else.-He owes that store or manages it but makes his living her in USA were we all should be treated with respect

Mellie, Expert

It is NYS, not Supv. Same to all people in NYS.

All States similat to NYS.

Please submit 5 *****. TY.

Not up to Supv.

If sells to kid, facility can lose ability to sell item to anyone, so ask ID of eveyone to be safe.
