Our store sells hundreds of different products. While all of these products are legal, some of them are age-restricted. That means that these special products, like alcohol, can only be sold to persons of legal age. To ensure that the Company and employees are complying with local and state laws, the government conducts random, unaccounted compliance checks. State and local governments can fine the employees for making an illegal sale. In the State of Alaska, an employee may be subject to the consequences of paying a fine, jail time and be disciplined under our Company Disciplinary Policy.
This manual will assist you in learning all you can about how to sell liquor within the law. Along with this manual, the Company, through a Training for Alcohol Professionals (“TAP”) course, will provide all new front end employees with training lessons and tests that must be passed before an employee is permitted to sell liquor. If you have any questions, please contact your supervisor.
