No - it's the law; under 18's may not buy or sell alcohol. The staff

An under 18 CAN sell alcohol, but only with the direct approval of
someone over 18 for each sale. That is how under 18s can work on the
tills, but they need to call someone over to approve alcohol sales.
That approval may just mean catching the attention of a supervisor or
the person on the next till and getting a nod from them, without them
ever coming right to the till.

Do they think teen checkout ops will sell booze to their mates?

I've seen it happen.
