Okay so i work as a cashier and i am 19 so yesterday i scanned beer for another cashier who is under 18. Then one of the supervisors yelled at us about it and told me never to do that ever again. The thing is that I've been doing that since i was a bagger (i started when i was 18) and none of the other supervisors have ever said anything and a lot of other cashiers will do it too because its faster than calling a supervisor over. So I'm wondering if there is an actual rule against it or what because all the other supervisors seem to be okay with it.
as long as you're over 18 i don't see a problem... however do what your supervisor wants then blame them when you get backed up. just be cool about it.

Ditto. If they don't want your help then don't help them. Let them get chewed out for 1 + 1 compliance.
We've got minors running registers yet none have been told that they can't sell beer/alcohol. As long as they follow the company's policy and state law regarding the sale, that is.

law in WV is minors can't sell alcohol as they cant be held responsible in the event of a minor buying from a minor.

Law in Nashville is you have to be 18 AND have a license to sell alcohol. If a minor is selling beer, then the store can be fined and lose its alcohol license. Alcohol sales can account for $20,000+ a week in some stores. That may not sound like a lot, but it's usually more than floral, seafood, or organics. And all of those departments have leads.
So yeah, it depends on your state laws about sale of alcohol. And when in doubt, do whatever the supervisor says. Ask, if you don't know.
The thing about scanning a beer is, if you're a bagger, that means you're technically selling the booze - which is probably against company policy as you have not had required training for cashiering in general and alcohol laws specifically, and if you're scanning it for another cashier, that's technically against policy (again) because he's the one signed on but you're the one scanning which might technically constitute a kind of fraud. (Which is why I always make sure that if I'm at a register, I'm the one signed on to it - even if I'm just covering a bathroom break for a few minutes.)

I'm not sure where you get your info on this. If a "bagger" hasn't been trained enough to have done the required CBTs and such, the issue is not them scanning alcohol; the issue is scanning items period. A bagger who is not contractually allowed to check shouldn't even be scanning a loaf of bread; doing so typically forces a promotion to the level of clerk that is allowed to check.Also, there's nothing against scanning the alcohol for another employee without being the one signed in. How else would someone scan the alcohol for the minor? Void the order and start over? No. Wait while the order suspends, sign off the minor, sign on another cashier, retrieve and finish the order? No.

1 + 1 ?
I'm not exactly sure what you meant by that but you DO realize that you are working for a company that often thinks 1 + 1 = 3?
