Nobody objected to any of these: Here (Minneapolis) the State runs stings occasionally. It's not uncommon to see a news item that someplace has lost its license to sell alcohol or tobacco due to underage sales. Sometimes just their license for that particular good. Places with repeated offenses (especially if there's anything about them that would annoy John Q. Public, like lots of minority customers or noisy kids or fights in the parking lot) are liable to be closed down by the city council, the underage sales being one of the justifications. But that's just on state-licensed goods. Your credit card, they could care less. Dave
