Guest phil Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Manley's and other establishments got in trouble for the sting of under age serving-using local kids that got busted. Why don't they use our tax payer money to catch drug dealers, rapists, etc.. Catching kids trying to get beer at 16 or 17 is easy. Fight the real crime in the area.

Because they use "kids" in thier very late teens/very early twenties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouser Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 http://www.pressconnects.com/apps/pbcs.dll...NEWS01/80307016 The Broome County Sheriff’s Office made seven arrests Wednesday in an effort targeting sales to underage people at locations throughout the county. The department checked 34 locations for compliance. Clerks at establishments in Port Crane and the towns of Chenango, Kirkwood, Dickinson, Union and Triangle face charges. Clerks at the stores have been charged with prohibited sale of alcohol, an unclassified misdemeanor, and will appear in town courts at a later date. The stores will be referred to the New York State Alcohol Beverage Control Board regarding their liquor license violations. Retail locations facing violations include the Red Apple on Route 369 in Port Crane, Diamond Fuel on Front Street in the Town of Chenango, Manley’s on Front Street in the Town of Chenango, Manley’s on Court Street in Kirkwood, Manley’s on Front Street in Dickinson, Mobil on Hooper Road in Union and Hess on Route 11 in Triangle. The sheriff’s office was assisted by a 19-year-old student of the Board of Cooperative Education Services criminal justice program and a 20-year-old soldier on leave from Iraq.

Don't the local police have bigger fish to fry than lowly store clerks who are trying to make ends meet? (I'm sure they all get fired after their "events")...Why don't they go case the Dixie for lose pedo's, or bust some drug dealers on the West Side..

Or work through the system and get the law changed to purchase alcohol lowered. I am against sending kids to war, just as I am against letting kids purchase alcohol. Uubee40, those lowly store clerks would probably take exception to being called lowly, but they chose the job for what ever reason. Applying for a position takes on certain responsibility one of which is to follow the law. If they can not follow it even if they appear to be set up, then they need to choose another job.

The cops waited til she was the busyest she possibly could be, with gas sales, making subs and selling groceries. They sent in the kids and she thought they looked old enough, was in a hurry, and didn't check. Yes, she was a lowly clerk, she made minimum wage, although she was never trained to do anything that would make her a great deal of money. That little bit of money was what made her able to afford groceries. She was fired on the spot, for making a mistake. She also had to pay a fine, and was truely embarassed. I agree, that these stings are necessary. I just don't agree with the way they are done, or the way in which gas station owners deal with their employees that make the mistake. If a person makes the mistake once, I believe they should be allowed to pay a fine, but continue working for the company. If they do it again, then can them. Everyone makes mistakes.
