Reinforce compliance education among your employees with We Card’s ID CHECK-UP training service. The mystery shopper program offers real-time practice with a We Card Checker, age 21-25, to ensure accurate performance in preventing underage e-cigarette, vaping and tobacco product sales. Users of the training service report improved employee compliance by as much as 40 percent.*

         How it Works

         Step 1:             A We Card Checker enters your store and attempts to purchase an age-restricted product.

         Step 2:             If your employee properly asks for the Checker’s ID, they pass and receive a GREEN card.

                                 Or…

                                 If your employee fails to ask for ID, they fail and the Checker gives them a RED card.

Results of each We Card CHECK-UP visit are emailed to store management teams within 24-hours and are available online via We Card’s secure reporting portal. Historical analysis of store-specific performance is also available within the portal.

Compared to costs associated with failed government-backed stings, each mystery shopper visit is a low-cost tool in helping you prevent unlawful sales of e-cigarette, vaping and tobacco products. When used in tandem with the complete We Card training program, ID CHECK-UPs can help make a big difference in employee performance and your store efforts to prevent underage product sales.
