Comments on: Carding Grandpa in Tennessee http://www.realbeer.com/blog/?p=557 What part of beer don't you understand?

Your wallet/purse is open to get the cash/credit to pay. Flash your ID and be on your way. However, this added gem makes NO sense: "Along with mandatory carding, the new law establishes a voluntary Responsible Vendor Program in which retailers who have their clerks undergo a training course will face lesser penalties for underage sales than nonparticipating vendors." Why do retailers who've attended (paid for?) a training course, and should therefore be the most prepared, face le$$er penaltie$ for an offense?

They started doing this quite some time ago. I understand that it has been common practice at convience stores in the midwest for a couple of years now as well.
