Alcohol Sales, Puerto Rican , A Grouchy Old Man & His Wife When I was an Area 1499 Cashier, I had refuse an alcohol sale for a group of young Puerto Ricans after a minor showed his ID. The young man standing next the minor asked if he could buy it for him. Nope. Third party alcohol sales for minors are a no-no. They left and the next customer had a fit because they were speaking Spanish. He told me that I was right to not sell them beer because they didn't speak English. I advised the customer that Spanish is the cultural language of Puerto Rico which is part of the United States but it's still illegal for me to sell alcohol to minors. The customer was buying wine. I told him that I was reasonably certain that he was well over 21 but I needed to check his wife's ID. It made her .  Abracadabra  |

If someone appears to be over 40, we had to check their ID. Sometimes, I would tell a customer that I was certain they were over 21 but I wasn't sure they were over 40. Once, I carded a woman on her 65th Birthday. I never buy alcohol but I can't imagine anyone carding me. Abracadabra

THE LEGAL AGE FOR BUYING ALCOHOL AND FOR BUYING LOTTERY TICKETS IS 18 HERE. THAT 21 THING KIND OF GETS TO ME, THERE IS ALMOST ALWAYS SOMEONE OVER 21 TO BUY BEER ANYHOW. LIVING IN A TOURIST REGION, WE GET A LOT OF CUSTOMERS WHO DON'T SPEAK A WORD OF FRENCH AND SOMEHOW WE SURVIVE.

I have never understood why, here in America we can place our lives on the line to join our military forces at the age of 18 but we must be 21 to purchase any kind of alcohol. . The beginning of life, conception..
