Why is the punishment for selling to minors worse than buying?

danmac7055 asked:
Why would a cashier who fails to check ID Get a harsher punishment for selling tobacco or alcohol to a minor than the person whos doing the buying and drinking? Also cashiers under 18 can still sell tobacco legally. And they’d still get the same punishment so I don’t think you can say its because the cashier is supposed to be older or more mature.
Just curious if anybody read my last sentence? Because everybody responded in such a way that suggests that they did not.
In reply to doug – but the buyer is not supposed to buy?
