I'm with Mr Love Monkey on this one... it's company policy, neither the checkout operator nor the manager are paid to question their employer's policy, they're paid to enforce it.

As far as I understand it, it
is the policy within that store to ask everyone to prove their age - irrespective of how old they appear.
You can argue that this guy is clearly over 21 so why bother asking him... but where do you draw the line? Someone who is over 50...? Over 40...? Over 30...? Much easier to impose a blanket "prove your age" policy for anyone and everyone.

Legally they can... but legally a shop employee can refuse to sell alcohol to whomever they please for whatever reason they like.
