The police in this area are known for doing random sweeps trying to catch merchants selling to minors, so maybe that is it.
Someone mentioned the name earlier, so I will say the store name. It is Walmart. Several stores in this geographic region are doing this. It was a local news station doing the story, and they didn't say if it was state-wide. Walmart corporate denied there is a company-wide policy to do this, but otherwise had no comment.
I would think a store like Wal-mart would be the place it wouldn't happen.
People buy their alcohol along with all their other groceries and it seems out of place to deny the purchase in that case if there are minors present.
