We Card Signs

Staff at bars, liquor stores and some shops ask for ID from anyone who looks younger than the cutoff, and a sign at the door or counter sets that expectation early. The example reads everyone under 40, so you can change that age to match your own policy, and the extra line can list the ID you accept.

Where we card signs are used

A we card sign sits on the front window of a package store, the counter of a vape shop, or the door of a wine tasting room where staff check every guest who looks young. Customers who pick up a bottle at the register are told the rule before they reach the till, which avoids a surprise at the counter. Some grocery beer aisles also post a copy near the cooler doors.

Choosing the size and where to hang it

Hang the sign at eye height on the entry door or on the counter by the register, where the guest sees it before the order. The 24 in x 18 in size reads from the aisle, and the 12 in x 18 in size fits a narrow glass door. Aluminum works on an exterior door or window. Plastic suits an indoor counter. Check your state and local rules for the age you must check and the ID you can accept.

Questions about we card signs

Does this sign set the age I have to check?

The number on the sign is your policy, not a legal rule on its own. Age check rules differ by state and city, so check your local rules before you choose the cutoff. Staff should know the same number.

Can I list the ID I accept?

Yes, the extra line can say something like 'Valid photo ID only' if that is your policy. Keep it to a short line, since guests read the big words first. Staff should still check each ID at the counter.

Which material works for a door?

Plastic is the lighter option for a glass door, and it prints on one side with brass grommets for hanging. Aluminum is the sturdier choice for a wall or a counter post, and it can be printed on two sides.

Will staff be asked to check everyone?

A sign sets the expectation, but the check is done by a person at the register. Staff should know the ID list, the age and what to do when a guest does not have one. Write those steps on a card behind the counter, so the process is the same on every shift.

What if a guest is upset by the check?

A calm, short answer does the job. Tell the guest the rule applies to everyone at the counter, and point to the sign if they want to read it. Keep the tone the same for every guest, so the check feels like a policy rather than a judgment. Your staff will need that script more than a longer sign.
