Mr. Patten would you identify yourself for the record and what is your capacity with Albertson's? Patten: I an~ Patrick Patten and I am a District Sales Manager for Albertson's. Jaunarajs: Is this one of the stores in your particular area, this new application? Patten: Yes, it is. Jaunarajs: Do you have overall responsibility lbr the stores within the area? Patten: Yes, I do. Jaunarajs: Mr. Patten, one of the things that has come across to a lot of licensing authorities recently is the methodology that a particular store or particular establishment employs in making sure that alcoholic beverages are not sold to minors. Would you briefly tell the Authority what steps Albertson's does take and will take in this store? Patten: We have a training that we put all of our cashiers through and we have a certification that our cashiers go through on training in Lakewood County for example, they have a course that we can send our cashiers through and I understand Jefferson has the same type of course that we would be willing to send the cashiers through. All cashiers must be certified before they can check anybody out. We have protection to the operations, such as the cheCkers all know that they can be terminated and pay all applicable fines if they sell alcohol to a minor. We have signs that are hung in the cold and warm beer areas stating the Colorado laws and the hours that we will sell alcoholic beverages. In our new IBM cash register systems we have the capabilities of freezing out thc UPC's codes so alcoholic beverages won't scan alter midnight and before 6:00 a.m. With the new state profile drivers licenses for anyone under the age of twenty- one is very helpful for us. Jaunarajs asked Charles Cutup the petition circulator to address the Authority.
