perhaps the laws have safeway taking extra measures. There are big time penalties for selling cigs to a minor. Some stores require id if you think person is under 25 years old for safety. why , because of the penalties,, i do not remember specifics but a second offense by same clerk and the manager gets probation or out the door with the clerk who sold cigs to a minor. Every person hired goes through hours of tapes and retraining in selling cigs and carding almost any one who doesn't need a walker.

ps they have blind buyers going around trying to buy cigs under age in order in enforce the laws.

The Safeway here keeps them under central lock and key in front of the Checkouts. Somebody wants a pack, the checker has to leave here checkout, unlock, get them, lock, and come back. Really slows down the checkstand. I have never seen them this tight.

I suspect employee theft might be a problem as well, which would explain the locked case.
