The new Safeway by our house has it all. They actually sell booze. All kinds.
Even Brett was pleased to find Non Alcoholic Beer.
Time to Pay: "Can I see some ID please?" says the young man at the till.
Brett hesitates a moment, decides it's ok to show it even though it is totally unnecessary….really….but politely says, " You know this in non-alcoholic beer?"
Oops says the young man's expression. What do I do now? No response coming to mind.
At the same moment Brett hands him his ID - Poor soul - Now the tortured expression on his face betrays that he is having difficulty subtracting the big unfamiliar numbers -- must be sure he is over twenty-one…… After some deliberation on his part he hands back the ID and quickly glances at Brett ….still puzzled, probably still doesn't know how old he is ---but he has followed the rules even though they never told him what to do about non-alcoholic beers :) Who knows maybe this guy stole his grandpa's ID???
