Can a store refuse to sell me alcohol because I'm from a different state?

Asked by Luke86 (191points) April 20th, 2013

I was in an Albertsons in Texas, buying a case of beer. I am 26 years old and from California. The cashier looked at my ID and would not sell me it because he said I was from a different state. I know businesses have the right to refuse service. Doesn’t federal law prevent discrimination against people’s origins? Just wondering, thanks!
