Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Nevada

Very interesting question and thank you. I am somewhat, though not extremely so, your junior. If I am 'ID'd" which does happen from time to time. I consider it a compliment. That the clerk is paying me some attention in the best way they know how. Otherwise, it's so obvious that I'm not 27 or under, that for a time it was painful - slightly - or funny as it is now.

Of course that kind of good natured ribbing, can often look like, and also actually be a slight social malice and a kind of retaliation for you not paying any attention to them. Of course I don't know you or the people behind the counter, but this is the feeling I have always given it.

I believe the law says they are mandated to see your ID if you look, or actually are, under 27, for the purchase of tobacco products or alcohol. Some companies actually mandate a policy more stringent that tells the clerks to ID EVERYONE regardless of age so as to create a record as to a stringent policy and thereby attempt to avoid penalties for violation even at the cost of some efficiencies.

Having never looked at any discriminatory intent of this species, by any larger type store, I doubt it highly. They are as old as either of us, and they want your dime as much as the next guy. Whether some kid or adult with whatever agenda or reason might pay you this perhaps at times backhanded compliment is discriminating against you in the eyes of the law? Frankly, I don't see it. It would also be expensive to prosecute, unless you, or a high number of other similarly situated to you at least have the same report, it wouldn't be economically feasible. It's just the rough and tumble of life. Again, thank you for the question.
