Underage Knife Sales Mystery Shopping
MysteryShopMyBusiness.com is the perfect service to test the compliance of your outlet(s) against current legislation regarding the sale of knives to under 18s. Selling knives to anyone under the age of 18 is a criminal offence and could result in a fine of up to £5,000 or a maximum prison sentence of six months. Mystery shopping can be used to check and ensure your staff are requesting proof of age identification from young adults at the point of purchase.
Using MysteryShopMyBusiness.com you can use profiled mystery shoppers between the ages of 18-20 to shop your outlet(s). During these visits the shopper will request to purchase a knife and then report back on whether or not they were asked for identification from the member of staff that served them. This type of programme will help ensure you are fully compliant with the knife sale legislation, thus minimising the potential of knife crime in your area as well as the likelihood that you will receive a costly fine or prison sentence.
