Yeah, i dont know why my parents thought that it was a good place to stop either. The prices were pretty high and we didnt need anything you cant get at a corner shop... and the corner shop probably wouldnt have even cared about me being there.

The odd thing is that it's Red States that have most of the Blue Laws.

It wasn't until the 2000 election that we started referring to states as "red states" and "blue states." Before that different networks used different color schemes (usually involving red and blue, but often with the democrats represented by red).

I live in a blue state (NJ) and went to college in a red state (IN). In Indiana the only alcohol restriction that I encountered was that you couldn't buy alcohol on a Sunday. I wasn't in the habit of drinking on Sunday, so unfortunately I learned of this law the day after graduation when some friends and I wanted to celebrate before I left the next day. Ah well, I've had plenty of beers since then.

Interestingly, while I was able to buy beer at convenience stores and grocery stores in Indiana, I can't in NJ. Some grocery stores (the minority, by far) have an attached liquor store, but you have to make your liquor purchases in that store. I don't know if it's by law or coincidence (I suspect the former), but I haven't found a liquor store open past 10:00 p.m. on any night of the week in NJ.

I guess the moral of the story is that you should plan ahead, regardless of where you live.

THank you for trying to fix the MASSIVE ignorance on this forum, but I dont know if it will hold.

Man, I can't believe how much people overreact and unload on the poor store clerks for carrying out company policy and/or state law. Do you think they're going to change their minds if you're upset, or do you feel like you're getting even for your inconvenience by giving them a hard time?

Your speling and grammer are not honkydory.
Also, the expression is "hunky dory".

That is all.

REdiculous.

Unpossible.

Love the different states liquor laws. In New Mexico you can get a shot or mixed drink at the drive through liquor store.

I have encountered this at grocery stores in college towns. No one else seems to enforce it.

A lot of stores do this because their employies aren't trained to spot fake ID's on any state other than their own. People will purpously get out of state counterfeit I.D. for thsi very reason. I had no idea what an an ID from I think it was Alabama looks like so when I saw one I thought it was fake, when it turns out it wasn't. My boss told me if the person looks under 30 and has an out of state ID don't sell to them. Surprisinigly enough, as of 5 years ago at least some state still had very cheap looking ID's. Cali has holograms, a couple I got out of state were real and I would have sworn they were home made.

My New York license looks like they made it with a bubble jet printer.

That's the problem, DL's in California, while not impossible. I have yet to see a fake that I couldn't spot by examining it for a few seconds. I did have a couple people over the 3 years I worked there bring in a daam good fake. But I still noticed shit was just off. What you say about NY surprises me, but I have seen some out of state ID's that just looked horrible, when I found out they were in fact legit. I had to scratch my head. Most I could have easily duplicated in Photoshop in minutes. Boggles my mind with the technology out there some states are still so far behind the time. One state (don't remember which...) it looked like a temp they'd give somebody while waiting for the real one. It felt like it was printed on paper and didn't have any type of coating. Living in one of those states must make underage drinkers so happy lol.

no lie, the cashier said it was company policy too, which seems kind of rediculous if we are family.

not surprising. I've seen it happen before.

...what is ridiculous though, is that you've misspelled "ridiculous" 2x in a row!
