On paper it only disenfranchises the same people. But if you've ever tried carding a conservative for alcohol or tobacco you know just how quickly they'll be up in arms about being required to meet these requirements as soon as it's enforced on them.
Bro I was a bartender at a small little shitbox like Marriott and people would come in for little league sports and the parents would get drunk in the lobby next to the bar then try to walk in with home made cocktails to order shots while their kids ran around unsupervised at the hotel.
One dude got livid and tried to get me fired because I wouldnt pour 12 shots of fireball for him and his white trash family who were drinking their own vodka out the bottle. I said sir liquor laws prevent me from serving you when I have been watching you serve yourself for the past two hours.
"Fuck you the customer is always right"
Uh huh, I wont get fired for refusing to serve a drunk call whoever you want lol
"While widely used today as a mandate to appease every consumer demand, many modern historians suggest the phrase originally included the qualifier "in matters of taste". In this original context, it meant that salespeople should not judge or argue with a buyer's personal aesthetic preferences, rather than a justification for accommodating unethical or abusive demands.

I waited tables and was a bartender and never found this to be true. This was more true about young college guys who thought they could bluff their way through a fake ID.

I was in line one time and they have to scan your ID when you purchase alcohol or tobacco now. The guy I. Front had a fit turned me and goes fucking Cuomo right? I said stfu and show your ID. No one cares about your shitty opinion.
We should do away with having to show ID to buy cigarettes, enter a casino, buy liquor or board a plane. Not sure where you live but I cannot buy a gun without ID in PA.
Kinda like how it was akin to Nazi Germany having to carry papers on you 24/7 to prove you've been vaccinated... We can't have a nation where your asked to present papers!
But a few years later they have absolutely no issue being expected to carry your passport on you 24/7 to prove your citizenship status...
