    Honestly, there are a few jobs that make sense for teenagers to get some spending money, and that’s fine: things like cashiering a grocery store or sports game. With our enforced 21 year drinking limit and most places having open container laws we stigmatize alcohol more than I would like, including this. It’s not like a teenager hasn’t seen beer before.

    HOWEVER, part of our strict laws include penalizing employees personally if they serve someone underage. So are we going to exempt these minors from those penalties? I suspect not…

      Kids serving booze to kids is part of the genius. Get southern kids stupid drunk, turn them into alcoholics, kill their shot at getting liberalized at a college, mess up their brains and get them to vote conservative in 4 years time.

      When I worked at a movie theater we served alcohol, it was a pain in the ass calling a manager every time someone wanted a bottle of wine. This could lead to a poor direction, but still, it was an inconvenience.

        Selling closed containers in a cashier setting could be fine in most situations.

          I mean, except when the 15 year old gets 8 years in prison for selling his buddies booze when they take their girls to see Barbie.
