Are you female?
Can you drive?
Are you 21?
Do you look younger than 21?
Do you like buying alcohol?
Then sign up now for our newest study on alcohol behavior in America. We will give you a rental car, a cell phone to use, and a bunch of cash. Your job is to drive around Chicago buying alcohol and reporting back on what happens; telling us who asks for ID and who doesn’t. You will be compensated for your time.
One of my coworkers is going down to Chicago this weekend with his wife who is helping administer this very study/survey. How crazy is that?
It’s not often that I wish I was a young looking, 21 year old female, but I did for a couple seconds today. That sounds like a fun job.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that any ~21 year old male sales clerk is not going to be doing much carding of the lovely young ladies.
Unless he’s looking for an excuse to hold her up at the line and chat her up. :)

I wonder if they had any hypotheses that they tested?
Hypothesis A: Any male clerk 30 and under with no supervisor around will not card the young hotties and give them a wink on their way out of the store.
Hypothesis B: ???
