Many places in the US make it mandatory, of course even then you have places that give a shit and some that don’t. Where I lived twenty years ago the cops were getting 20 year old girls made up and wigged to look like old ladies, send them in to try to buy a bottle, and if the employee didn’t check ID they were guilty of a crime, with the employee and the business fined thousands of bucks.
I don’t know if cops still pull that shit or they’d rather use their time to physically abuse people.
