Going to WalMart to buy beer? Better bring your ID, Pops...

If you're a 'Yute', this effects you. Retailers across the state, such as Walmart, will be forced to comply with a new law that affects certain purchases customers make. And, the policy means that supermarket staffers cannot presume someone is over the age of 21. The rule affects shoppers who buy goods from the 59 Walmart-owned stores across Utah. 
Under the new law, a shopper who is 80 years old will be required to show ID. However, retail staffers are not required to scan a person’s ID card. Just looking at the card and doing quick math suffices.
ID checks must also be carried out at restaurants and bars, according to the state’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services. Some establishments will have to go one step further. 
 
Restaurants with an area that is separate from where customers dine must have scanners in place. Those wanting to go to bars across Utah must scan their ID cards before entering.
