PAUL CITY COUNCIL 716 City Hall Saint Paul MN 55102 RE: Alleged Underage Sale of Beer to a Minor By Jahnson Brothers Liquor Store, Johnson Parkway & I-94 To President Wilson and Members of the City Council: An alleged sale to a minor recently took place at Johnson Brother' s Liquor Store pursuant to an undercover investigation. Following the sale, and after the customer had left the store, a St. Paul Police Office dressed in civilian clothes came to the cashier/check out girl and stated that an underaged sale had been made. The clerk stated that she had requested identification from all people • that she believed might have been underaged and requested that the alleged buyer be brought back into the store so that she could determine if in fact she had made a sale to that individual. The officer refused and informed the clerk, and the assistant store manager, that notice would be sent alleging an illegal sale of liquor to a minor. Under the foregoing circumstances the licensee has an option of either asking for an Evidentiary Hearing held before an Administrative Law Judge or, reciting the facts, and placing the matter before the City Council, citing the customary steps that it takes to prevent underaged sales and other extenuating circumstances that exist. Through meetings with representatives of the St. Paul City Attorney' s Office I have been informed that if an Administrative Law Judge conducted a hearing that two St. Paul Police Officers would testify that they had requested a 20 year old individual to go into the store and attempt to make a purchase of beer without showing any identification, and that this did occur. Faced with these allegations a statement by the checkout clerk that she could not recall making any such sale, but was refused the opportunity of seeing the person who made the alleged buy would, in all likelihood, result in a determination that an illegal sale had been made. • ��-/�� ' President Wilson and Members of the St. Paul City Council August 15, 1991 Page 2 • Store management gives on-going instructions and staff meetings at which instructions are given that production of identificat.ion is required if the buyer, even remotely, appears to be under 21 . On two days a week, Friday and Saturday, off-duty St. Paul Police Officer� are hired to assist in checking identification of age. They worY. in uniform as a visible deterrent to potential underaged customers; they stand at the door and also pass through the aisles looking for gossible violators who may have slipped in. On many occasions an individual might be checked as many as three times: once at the door, once in the interior of the store, and again on checking out. Johnson Brothers Liquor Store operates like a supermarket with the custamer picking his own merchandise up in a shopping cart and then passing through a checkout counter at which time the merchandise is paid for and identification required if there is a question as to the customer' s age. Johnson Brothers refuses admission to rainors to the store for even the purpose of purchasing soft drinks or buying lottery tickets, which are valid for individuals at least 18 years of age. • Johnson Brothers has a very substantial investment in the store and inventory and certainly would not do anything intentionally to jeopardize this investment. Johnson Brothers wishes to protest the fact that the police officers refused to bring the purchaser back into the store so that the clerk could determine if in fact she had made a sale to that individual. A recitation of facts from the varying employees are attached to this letter and point out that the police officers themselves made purchases of beer during their visit to the store. The enclosed �tatements from Johnson Brother emplayees tell the story of their traininq and practices, and they still find it difficult to believe that an underaged person in iact r.made a purchase at the store. However, since a complaint has been made through official channels the disposition of this matter is respectfully submitted for your consideration considering all the relevant facts. Respectfully itted i ; ohn. E. Daubney ttorney for Johnson Brother Liquor Store • J d � �i-1�� August 13, 1991 • To President Wilson and Members of the Council. I a� writing in regards to an ineident in wh3.Eh txo (2) Saint Paul Police officers say that they sent a 20 year-old individual into Johnson Brothers Liquor Store to purchase 13.quor illegally. The txo (2) officers alle�e tha.t the 20 yea.�-old 3ndiv3dtial. made an illegal purchase of a package of beer. As a strict policy of this store we do not sell to an illegal person. Our policy is that we must see a le�al valid Minnesota driver's license or a legal va13d Minnesota identification aaxd if the person looks 25 years old or younger or we will not sell to that person. We also refuse to sell to any person even if tY�at person is of legal age, i� that person is 'b�uyi.ng for a person that cannot prove their age. Because we are so strict Kith our ID policies; the cashiers, m�xia�;ers, and police officers that axe on-duty, and �qyself are rexarded xi.th very much haxassaent.

I have been employed at Johnson Brothers Liquor Store for 3 to 4 years. Prior to working at Johnson Brothers Liquor Store, I was a bartender for 54 years. I have never sold liquor to a minor. I know the penalty for selling liquor to a minor and so does everyone else who works at Johnson Brothers Liquor Store. At Johnson Brothers Liquor Store we are constantly checking identification cards at the door, in the isles and at the cash registers. Prior to the alleged sale, I had carded a woman who was 35 years old. Our store�olicy is,when is doubt, ask for a Minnesota drivers license, or a Minnesota identification card. �' `� .�.,� � , � - ��' c�,�� - �-.� � • ��a� • To Whom This May Concern, As � present employee of Johnson Brothers Liquor Store, I find it very difficult to believe tha,t a minor was served in our establishment. Our policy at this Iiquor establishment is to caxd anyone who looks 25 or youn�er. In regard.s to this policy, I have tla,cl numerous customers leave the store because I was the third (3) person to card then in tha.t one (1) sin�l.e visit. I cannot connt the times tha,t the managers have told us to card. This is constant and enforced at all times. The only identification that we w3,11 accept in our store is a valid Minnes0ta driver•s license or a valid Minnesota identi�'ication caxd. Sincerely� ^ ��QiC.X'`L i� v CT'L�G� ,� l Nora J. Oex�er Cash3.er • � . � _ � 9i,1 �� 1825 Sherwood Avenue Saint Paul, MN 55119 • Dear Council President Wilson, As a present employee of Johnson Brothers I+iquor, I am writi.ng to you in rega�ds to our compauy's policies a,nd procedures. We, at Johnson Brothers, caxd customers for i.dentification if they appear to be under 25; thereby asking for a valid Minnesota. driver's license or a valid Minnesota. ideatification ca,rd only. If the a'bove is not available, we politely tell the customer� "We're sorry. �►e cannot serve yon." Presently, there are three (3) managers; Chris Sirek, Dennis Gobely, and n�}rself. One or txo of the maua�ers are at the front courtesy counter at all times. On weekends, Friday and Satuxday, there is an off-duty Saint Paul Police person on duty to check identification. They turn away customer� who ha.ve no identifieation, or • Nho are under age. Also, �they refuse the sale of 3.ntoxicat3.ng beverages to customers who appeax to be intoxicated. Al1 employees are instructed a�n.d constantly reninded to �io the same. The surveillance is to a point of bein$ extreme but xe take all preca�ations aot to serve to minors. I, myself� if not at the front courtesy counter� xalk the aisles and attend to customers and cashiers; and 9.f need be, ask customers for 3.dentification or alert the cashier to ask for 3dent3.fication; 3.e., I, a�yself, when in donbt, l�ave carded customers who have been between the ages of 26-42 yeaxs of a�e. In fact, I card.ed a Washington County Deputy Sher3.ff l.ast week who was in un3form and was 23 years of age. The same d.a.y I cazded a Sti.11xater Sta.te Prison Guard, in uniform, who wa.s born in 195$• This casding was done because they appeared. young. With this type of car�,ing, it 3s very co�on that a customer be carded as ma.ny �»s • three (3) times befo�e I��i�g our esta.blishment. . :.-; : -. . .. ., ,:�.:. :. . __ : . ; � . . ��... � _ . . .. . . .

Then May of 1990 I got a DWI about two or three weeks later I went to Johnson's for beer. I was carded that day even thoug'h some people even the manager knew me they would not sell me any liquor. I was really upset about it for the fact I have been going there for so long thats why it is really hard for me to see them selling to someone under age. I am 35 years old. Tlzank You , Jeffrey A.

RE: Alleged underage sale of beer to a minor by Johnson Brothers Liquor Store. President Wilson and Esteemed Members of the City Council: I would like to take this opportunity to register a letter in support of the management and employees of the Johnson Brothers Liquor Store located at Johnson Parkway and Interstate 94. My wife and I, both aged 29, have been resident in St. Paul for the past four years during which we have transacted exclusively with establishment presently under investigation. In all of our visits we have found the staff courteous, and helpful, canpliant with state laws pertaining to liquor sales, and responsible toward their customers. On several occasions I have personally witnessed Johnson Brothers employees exercise discretion by refusing liquor sales to costumers because of: 1) Improper or no I.D. , 2) Apparent intoxication, 3) Bad checks; I have also seen juveniles, attempting to sneak into the store, apprehended at the front door by the store personnel and thereafter ejected from the premises. • The store policies concerning identification and liquor sales are ostensibly displayed via sign board at the front door -- unavoidably visible to all who enter. Ftiirthermore they are enforced. During my first visit to the Johnson Brothers Liquor Store at Johnson Parkway and I-94, having just relocated from Iowa, I myself was refused a sale because I was unable to produce a valid Minnesota I.D. Subsequent to this I have been requested, on occasion, to provide identification in the checkout lane. My wife, on the other hand, graced with an interminably youthful appearance, is continually 'harassed' by Johnson Brothers employees for verification of her age. I would like to conclude by relating to the Council my positive impressions of the establishment under review. In every instance my transactions at Johnson Brothers have been with professionals who conduct their business with the deport- ment expected of people in their profession. I believe it highly improbable that an employee of Johnson Brothers would ]mowingly sell alcohol to an under-aged individual. �irthermore, considering their past record of adhering to store I.D. and sales policies, which I have witnessed and experienced first hand, I seriously doubt that a youthful-looking person could enter the store - let alone pass through the checkout lane with a purchase, without being subjected to an I.D. check. I believe that purchase of alcohol by an underaged individual at this store could be accomplished only by means of deception whereby the physical appearance of the purchaser grossly over exaggerates his/her true age, a problem not unco�rmlon today. .
