ID required, or perhaps not. (It all depends what you buy.)

Sign in a private liquor store
I saw this sign in my local private liquor store. It is produced by the British Columbia provincial goverment and advises customers that 2 pieces of ID (Identification)  are required to verify their age when buying alcohol.

No problem there, until you look at the details.

So, does this mean that I do not need to provide ID if I am buying beer or spirits? Or is the store not licensed to sell beer or spirits?

Either way the inconsistancy of the message on this sign  and the fact that it does match the store's product assortment, makes the sign a lot less useful and also makes the consumer question the bureaucracy behind the sign program. Nothing like taxpaper's money being wasted on inaccurate signs with confusing messages.
