9/20/13 Smokes All Around

Janice is a high school junior that is highly involved in many activities within her school.  She participates in choir, jazz choir, band, speech, and one-act play.  She is also a member of the National Honor Society and an officer in the local Future Business Leaders of America organization.  

Among all of her activities, Janice still has time in her schedule for a part-time job.  She works at a local convenience store which sells a little bit of everything.  The store sells a limited supply of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products as well as grocery items and small home improvement products.  

Janice's work requirements include helping to unload delivery trucks, stock shelves, record inventory and work the cash register. The community that Janice lives and works in is a rather small community and Janice knows many of the patrons that visit the store.  Some of them are friends with her parents, others are family friends and some are even her teachers and classmates at school.  

One high school acquaintance that Janice sees frequently come through the store is a senior boy named Keith.  Janice knows that Keith is 18 and he often comes in and buys a couple items along with a pack or two of cigarettes.  Since Keith is 18, it is legal for him to purchase tobacco products.  

Janice and her friends were hanging out one night after a football game and happened to be in the same place as Keith and some of his friends.  The two groups hung out together for a while until Keith got a text message from one of his friends and said he had to leave to go and buy some cigarettes for his buddy that was not 18 yet.  

From that point on, when Janice is working and Keith comes in and purchases cigarettes, she has a feeling that he is buying them for someone else that s underage.  

PLEASE RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS USING COMPLETE SENTENCES

Should Janice say something to Keith when he purchases the cigarettes? 

Should Janice tell her boss?  Should she tell someone else?  

What other steps could Janice take in this situation?
