For any establishment that sells alcohol or tobacco, purchasing an ID scanner can be vital. Selling adult
products comes with a heavy responsibility to stay on the right side of the law. Not only are there serious
legal consequences to selling to minors, there are also strong social consequences that come with selling
alcohol and tobacco to minors. Sometimes these consequences are so severe that they put entire stores out
of business. Why risk your store and reputation when you can use an ID scanner to accurately approve all
purchases?
Controlling who purchases alcohol and tobacco products is the key to enforcing the law on your premises.
The ID scanner helps you do just that. ID scanner technology helps store owners verify the age and ID of
customers who try to purchase adult products. Before scanners came into popular use, this knowledge was
much more difficult to obtain. Store employees often struggled with the issue of age-limited purchasing,
especially if stores did not have clear policies on how to check IDs. Even if employees did ask for ID,
they weren’t trained to distinguish between real and fake IDs. Sometimes expired IDs even slipped through
the cracks. Before the ID scanner, selling alcohol and tobacco products to underage consumers was not an
uncommon practice. No matter how hard storeowners tried, it was impossible to prevent all underage sales.
Now, with the ID scanner, controlling the sale of adult products is an accurate process that fits perfectly
within the fast pace of a busy store. Scanners can read and verify ID cards in just a few seconds, and, with
their small footprint and ergonomic design, they fit comfortably next to a cash register. Picture a busy
grocery store on a Saturday afternoon. When a young person tries to buy alcohol, the cashier doesn’t have
to work slower in order to verify the ID. She can simply swipe the ID through the ID scanner at her register
to tell if it’s real or fake. With age verification software, she’ll immediately receive helpful messages such
as "Under 18," "Under 21," or "Expired." The customer either passes or doesn’t. These user-friendly graphics
help employees quickly determine if the customer is eligible to buy the products.
For any store that sells alcohol, tobacco and adult products, there’s no better way to identify customers than
with the ID scanner.
