And they do not release their findings. They will happily tell you how many ID's they have asked for but no idea on % from secret shoppers like LCBO gets.

I worked at TBS for almost 6 years and the worst I ever heard from serving minors is of an employee getting a warning - usually only after their third strike. After that, in theory, was a short suspension.
Not sure how it works now, but back then they didn't tell you outright who it was that served the mystery shopper - it was up to the manager to go back on the video or in the system to track who was working then - and there was no formal reprimanding beyond the notification that the store failed a mystery shop. Even in the event that it was challenged, the union was only too happy to step in and defend the employee.
