The problem is the corner shop no longer exists. And if it does, it's a chain, and the rotating staff won't recognize the toddler as being yours. Or going there will get your kid run over by an SUV. Mainly the latter.
- asdff 5y agoNot everyone lives in a stroadburb. Those corner shop suburbs haven't gone anywhere luckily.
- gumby 5y agoI checked with my kid and shops no longer let little kids by cigarettes or beer. How customer unfriendly!
- trgn 5y agoIt really is. Because it's man adapting to the measure and not the other way around. The 5 year old isn't going to drink that beer. It's gangly teenagers up to no good. The shopkeeper should totally give the wine bottle to the little kid running an errand for their parents, but not to the teenager looking to impress their friends. My mom asked me to pick up prescriptions at the local pharmacy starting I was 6-7 (we lived a few blocks away). The pharmacists gave them to me because she knew me and my parents. Blanket laws are easy to enforce, but they remove precisely this individual agency.
