They did this in Sweden too. Then people stopped buying energy drinks, because most people self checkout and you had to wait for an employee to come check that you are an adult. And swedes being swedes, they would rather die than go through that.
Now they have a permanent employee checking from afar with a tablet, approving people without any intervention or interruption. I wouldnt be surprised if the energy drink brands partially pay for them.
I need to move to Sweden
I only know about Sytembolaget thanks to Nanowar of Steel
I know about Systembolaget because rum nerds want to know how much sugar is in a given rum and Systembolaget is a great source of information for that.
I'd be awesome PR for them if they were paying for it because waiting for an employee to check your ID for a damn energy drink while you're trying to get on with your day sounds annoying as shit
I tolerate it for alcohol but energy drinks would be too much
