Grocers Code of Conduct Does Not Meet Existing Retail Alcohol Standards
- Grocers claim they will comply with all state and local laws.
Liquor Retailers only focus is Alcohol State Statute 340A.
- Grocers claim they will display signage that no sales will be made to anyone under legal drinking age.
Liquor retailers do not allow people under the age of 21 to enter the store.
- Grocers claim that no employee under the age of 18 will be authorized to complete the sale of wine.
Liquor retailers preference is to only hire employees who are at least 21 years of age or older.
- Grocers claim everyone who appears to be under the age of 30 will be required to show identification.
While liquor retailers created the "under 30" standard, preventing sales to minors involves much more than just looking at an ID. Supermarkets can't
match this.
- Grocers claim they will provide annual training for new and existing employees.
Liquor retailers provide employee training and education on an ongoing and consistent basis.
- Grocers claim they will welcome law enforcement agencies to check for compliance.
Liquor retailers work closely with law enforcement officials in completing compliance checks and in preventing the sale of alcohol to youth.
- Grocers claim they will display all information regarding responsible consumption.
Liquor retailers work closely with public health and chemical awareness programs to ensure distribution and posting of all related materials.
- Grocers claim employees will be subject to state and local penalties.
Liquor retailers are subject to civil and criminal penalties, as well as policies established by individual retailers, including total closure.
