Who can sell alcohol?
Only persons aged 18 years or over may sell alcohol otherwise a criminal offence will be committed.
If you are under 18 you may carry out general duties in the shop or may make non liquor sales only.
Persons employed in either a Supermarket, Convenience Store or Petrol Station who are under 18 years of age, may not
under any circumstances go behind the counter to serve a customer alcohol.
If you are under 18 and you are operating a non alcohol payment register or a customer presents alcohol during the
transaction you must:
• Call the Manager or a member of staff who is 18 or over.
• You may scan non alcoholic items while you are waiting.
• Your manager or staff member over 18 will scan the alcoholic items and will complete the transaction and take the
payment – you must not scan the alcohol and complete the transaction.
OK well he now tells me he is not going back and decided this himself - he also tells me he was told to say he was 18 if anyone asked so he could sell alcohol and cigarettes all of this week. I was not aware of this - so I am now disgusted even more!!
is it not the responsibility of the shop or is it on the person serving - I am unclear on this!!
Asking your son to break the law tells me all I need to hear about the scruples of the shop owner.
He shouldn't dream of going back there.
The hospitality industry is full of this stuff and not short of owners/managers coming up with bright ideas to get people to work for no pay.
