No, No, No!  The real problem is that many stores have cashiers that are
under 21 years old.  Since minors can't sell booze, and for the point of
grocery stores selling is defined as ringing it up, someone over 21 must
push the button that actually rings the price up.  The minor can punch the
price in, but can't push the enter key.  Most stores have another cashier
(an over-age one) do it, but some just have the (over-age) customer push it.
