Economic Development Clinic at UCLA used participants as old as 41. Therefore, any alcohol purchasers whose IDs remained in their pockets may not be due to the incompe- tency of the clerks, but the number of wrinkles on customers’ faces. And the SDSU study from 2010 cited — though it is more comprehensive — doesn’t even compare the effective- ness of self-checkout lanes to regular checkout lanes. However, it does conclude IDs were not checked 10 percent of the time. On the flip side, one study in 1995 actually showed that regular checkout lanes had a 44 percent failure rate to check IDs. Yes, that’s right: self-checkout lanes may be even more effective at stopping alcohol sales to minors, yet Sacramento has pushed a bill that would ban it. According to the 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, nearly 80 percent of minors get their alcohol from providers over the age of 21. The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control states there is no evidence to support ROBERT KIM/GUARDIAN MADD’s claim.
