A regional chain of fuel and convenience stores in the northeastern United States was concerned about the potential risk of its employees practices for age verification with alcohol and tobacco sales. Due to the sensitive nature of this use case, they have requested to remain anonymous.

Situation

An increasing number of customers were claiming to have forgotten their IDs or presenting digital IDs that could not be scanned by the stores’ systems. Inconsistent verification practices expose retailers to compliance risks including potential fines, license suspensions, and damage to its reputation. The situation highlighted a broader need for proper training, clearer guidelines, and systems for effective age verification.

Objectives

Core Goals

  • Review current ID verification practices to ensure full compliance with age-verification laws
  • Take action to eliminate risk through training and system enhancements
