Repeat customer asked for ID EVERY TIME I PURCHASE ALCOHOL?!!!
The law states that if someone APPEARS TO BE YOUNGER THAN 21 to card them. You know what Brenda and the Store Director Jarrod Lujan said to me? " You appear to look under 40 so we have to ask for your ID. said i am here all the time, I grew up in this area and I have to be carded " every time" when I have already established that I am clearly over 21. The insanity is real everyone! They are fake afraid of losing a liquor license to someone who is clearly over 21. ( I call bull sh*t) The law states that they can not sell alcohol to a minor, it does not state that a business is to ask for ID for an adult who is clearly over 21 and has established this evidence with many of the cashiers as I pointed our to the store director.
One cashier, who i have checked out with many times in the two years she has been with the store, was at the self checkout at the time even laughed at me when I said that they DO NOT know the law of selling alcohol. Yes I know that people do not have the " right to purchase alcohol" and that businesses can set a parameter of specifications to protect themselves from potentially selling to a minor. But when the LOGIC, that a person is clearly over the age of 21 does not take precedence, then WE HAVE A PROBLEM !!!!
Lujan stated, " When you go to a club, dont they card you at the door before they allow you inside." His statement not only solidifies that he believes that I am over 21, but is also establishes that everyone cards whether someone appears to be over 21 or not. But there is a vast difference between going to a club and frequently visiting a grocery store. He was clearly not listening to me and my view that I have ALREADY established that I am over 21. I even said, i was here yesterday with my ID AND might be here tomorrow with my ID. BUT TO REFUSE SERVICE on the ONE TIME I do not have my ID is weird to me. ((this might be left, but this is just hie far my mind stretches) During the years of slavery if someone did not have their papers to establish that they are FREE CITIZENS that they were subject to a public hanging. TIMES CHANGE BUT PEOPLE DO NOT)
THERE ARE TOO MANY GROCERY OPTIONS FOR LOGIC TO FAIL IN THIS SITUATION! Albertsons in Murrieta, no matter the location, has become a disappointment and clearly bias against me. They used me as an example to refuse service and embarrass me, but the citizens of Murrieta were able to step up when I was in line and see what was happening to me. A few ladies said that they would have showed their Id for be because they can see with their two eyes that I am over 22. If this situation was amusing to Albertsons employees then i would say that you are welcome for that. Because if this is funny to you, then you have not matured yet. You think you know, but you have no idea.
Shame on you Albertsons and your illogical employees starting from the Store Director, Jarrod Lujan, down.
