Tips

Checking ID

• Be polite but firm. Explain that you will get into serious trouble if you do not check everyone’s ID. 
• Learn how to read birth dates to determine if a person is 21 or older. 
• Make sure the picture on the ID matches the person. 

If uncomfortable, find a supervisor

• If a customer gives you a hard time, offer to let them speak to the owner or manager. 
• If you come across a difficult situation, ask your supervisor how to handle it. 
• Ask your supervisor to explain anything confusing. 
• If in doubt, refuse to sell.
  • Do not accept excuses such as, "I forgot my license at home."

More

• Help your co-workers. Remind each other. Back each other up.
