Never been ID’ed for an energy drink.
Be glad you don't live in the UK then. You have to be able to prove that you're over 16, or 18 - I forget which. Luckily I don't have to worry about that being 27, but it does get annoying when I forget about it and take a monster through the self checkouts. Normally I have to wait maybe 5 minutes for the overworked employee to notice me and authorize the purchase.
Technically you dont have to, its not an actual law just supermarkets being melts
hmm, there's gotta be some agreement or contract that makes them.
no business is going to willingly get in the way of their own profits like that. no companies id for alcohol because they're concerned for your health lol. if there isn't a law or legal incentive for them to do that then they have credible evidence that there will be if they don't.
you can't survive as a business in 2025 if you willingly do things that could show down sales for something silly like "health and safety"
