Joe Canal’s Discount Liquors

As many people say I have «good genes» and at 23 y/​o I look very young for my age. This makes me uneasy as I’m always stared and glared at walking through liquor stores, even when I’m with my parents or boyfriend — I get anxious because of how I’m treated but today I was harassed for LOOKING YOUNG AFTER I provided necessary I. D’s to prove my age. My experience here was nice as I knew exactly where and what to get and wanted to just go home and celebrate the Fourth of July. A very kind African-​American lady checked my I. D’s and I paid for my moscato and coronas. As the kind woman was bagging my purchases, a petite (almost shorter than myself and I’m barely 5“0) bald Caucasian man with dark brown facial hair came up to me asking if I’m 21. He was behind me at the other register serving other customers and stops to come up and after I declared I already provided my license that I’m older than 21 and that you never ask a woman her age if you just saw her provide identification. He declared that there was an existing «clause» which indicates that «they don’t have to serve those who look young» and I snapped back saying how that would be discrimination IF that were legal and if it were legal there would be no use for liquor stores to ask for I. D’s if they can’t tell what a real license looks like. I will be calling upper management to file a complaint as I felt harassed for not doing anything wrong and if they did this to me then they’re doing this to other young people. But to do something so rude on a national holiday is ridiculous and this guy must be quite unhappy with his job and needs to be spoken to by management. Will not be returning and will be spreading the word to stay away from here. Explained what happened to my boyfriend who is a local to the area and he was very upset.
