serving alcohol
for two years i worked in a restaurant that didn't serve alcohol, so i had no worries. i just started working at a restaurant that does serve alcohol, so now i get the joy of IDing people. they told me to ID EVERYONE, even old folks, because you dont want to risk undercover cops coming in and things like that and get in trouble. i've only been there for two days, so i've just been following, and the servers ID sometimes, but not always, particularly older people. i plan to ID especially the younger ones, but if someone is clearly like 40 or 60 years old, is it really necessary to ID them? in this little orientation video they made me watch, it said to ID if they look under 30 [in other words if their age is questionable], so let's say an undercover cop comes in who's like 50, and ordered a drink and i didn't ID him, would i really get in trouble? i mean, are you seriously supposed to ID EVERY ONE?

You should try looking up the law in your state... I live in NSW Australia and the law says that if you look under 25 you need to be checked. Dont bother checking older people. Its more of a waste of time. You'd be more productive if you just check under 25s.

It may depend on your local law. I didn't know what state you are from so I couldn't look it up.
I suggest getting clarification from your manager... but if they said "ID EVERYONE, even old folks" then DO it, even it it seems silly. It isn't worth losing your job because you didn't follow instructions.
Remember, there is usually a probation period for a new employee at a new job. Just follow directions, and after a while through observation and experience you will come to understand what rules/managers are lax and which ones are stict.
