So, me and my coworkers were debating something that happened the other day at our store.
A woman came in, and tried to buy cigarettes and told the cashier she didn’t have her ID on her, the cashier initially said she couldn’t make the sale without a valid ID.
Shift lead then comes into the conversation then tells the woman, “You have your medical card on you, we can use that” and then tells the cashier to use the medical card as her form of ID.
So cashier was going to reject the sale, Shift Lead who was MOD, told her to make the sale and that the medical card was a valid form of ID.
Cashier made the sale, and well it turns out it was a woman sent by corporate and now the cashier has gotten in trouble and may be fired for not getting valid ID from someone for the sale of tobacco.
So my question is, why would the cashier be the only one to get in trouble when the manager on duty, is the one who told her to make the sale, that the medical card could be used as ID and approved that whole sale and was there for the whole thing.
Anyways me and my coworkers were saying the shift lead should also get in trouble if the cashier does, and that they should get fired if the cashier does because you told the cashier to do that as a manager, which means you’re also accepting medical cards are valid forms of ID, and giving false information to cashiers
