Same clown that came in last week came in tonight and said "I am 60 years old can't you tell I am old enough?" Then he said "this is b******t." Told him I am only following Kroger policy and state law. What I really wanted to tell his is gp down the road to Publix where they NEVER ask for ID!!
It really depends on the store. Generally, if someone is OBVIOUSLY over 40 then you aren't required to ask for an ID and just ask for their birthday to make the computer happy. I use to do that all the time with the older guys who came in. Once I was just in flow, not fully paying attn to who I was serving, and asked a 70 y/o man for his ID. We all got a good laugh as I checked it.
Even today it's really hard to get younger people to not be worried about ID because it's drilled into their head to ID, ID, ID but if you get an older cashier or manager they are more lenient to that sort of thing because personal judgement is key. Age is really hard to pin down.
but to answer your question: The law states that you're required to ask for ID on any sale of alcohol or tobacco everywhere in the US.

That is incorrect. There's at least four states that do not require clerks to ask for I.D. if there's no doubt that the purchaser is 21: Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and Texas. There's probably more, but those are the ones I know of.

Is Kroger's policy on restricted item sales (tobacco/alcohol) the same in all states?

All I can say is in my experience, I have never been asked to show I.D. when purchasing items from the Wine and Spirits shop. I've also watched what happens when someone buys beer at u-scan. If the person is definitely well over 21, they don't have to show I.D.

As someone who currently lives in KY and is well over 21 - you're a tard.

Under KRS 244.085, its illegal to sell or serve alcohol to anyone under 21. But and this is key Kentucky law does not require ID checks for every alcohol sale.
The law simply states:
If a customer appears under 21, the clerk must verify age.
If the customer is clearly over 21, ID is not legally required.
Sellers are protected if they check ID and reasonably rely on it in good faith, even if it later turns out to be fake.

So in cases like this, Kroger policy supercedes state law (?)

I think it depends on the particular Kroger and the particular clerk. Our store has signs that say you must ask for I.D. if the purchaser looks under the age of 27. Don't ask me how they cam up with that number. It really just comes down to common sense. The part about everyone in a party must show I.D. is really stupid. People under 21 aren't even allowed in the Wine and Spirits shop but shoppers can still bring their kids along with them to the main grocery store and purchase beer. Does that mean that a clerk can refuse to sell beer to a customer just because their kids are with them? Some people here would seem to think that.

That's not the practicality of the situation, however. Every time I go in to buy a restricted product I'm asked for ID regardless of the situation or what the law states. It's happening based on store policy and if "the customer appears over 40". I was attempting to express that it is not what's happening on the ground and in stores, regardless of the actual law. The kids are having it drilled into them to ALWAYS check for ID despite the physical appearance of the customer.
