The BARS Program takes training into the store. Twice each month, we send our Checkers, aged 21-25, into client store locations conducting our mock purchases of cigarettes and beer.

We are monitoring if ID is asked for prior to ringing the sale. If ID is asked for, the employee receives a Green Card. If not, a Red Card is given.

BARS Program Procedure

If a store uses an age-verification device, we will monitor if employees use the device. We have visit procedures for any type of POS, with or without age-verification devices.

After the visit, an email report is sent to the store’s management. Visit Results are archived for client use in the future. These are password-protected, access can only be given by the client.

The outcome of our service is a reduced amount of failed stings. When you compare the costs of 1 failed sting to the nominal fee paid for our service, the return of investment is unquestionable. We have saved our clients hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years, profits that go to the bottom line.
