Store Would Not Sell Alcohol to a Customer With a Temporary License

[Taxing Matters]

In all honesty it would be great if the DMV could just issue on the spot permanent license at the booth after you pass the Driver's test or renew it whether online or in person so that way you don't have to worry about a temporary license but this is for another thread and our government has lots to take care of as it is.

Some states and DC do issue the actual license on the spot and don’t generally give out temporary licenses. Like lots of things, this varies from state to state.

A merchant isn't REQUIRED to sell you no matter how just you feel and what the TSA does. We are taught that if there is any possibility that the identification may not prove that the purchaser is 21, that we should deny to sell to them. Again, you are inconvenienced but the merchant is the one that's going to end up with a CRIMINAL RECORD if he screws up.
