My boyfriend tried to purchase a bottle of wine, but we were denied purchase. He was the one purchasing the alcohol, so he provided his ID. However, they asked me for my ID even though I wasn’t the one buying the alcohol. Since I did not have my ID, only a photo of it, we were denied purchase. I am 22, but since I did not have my ID on me, the associate was very rude and said that my boyfriend could not purchase the alcohol. He stated that they “have to” card the entire party if you look between the ages of 18 to 21. If I had just waited in the car, we would not have had this problem. I am just upset because you can go inside any liquor store and they wouldn’t have asked for MY ID, only my boyfriend’s.
I must add that I did not touch the alcohol or push the cart that had alcohol in it.
