Your issue isn't with Schnucks, it's with the Missouri legislature. Schnucks is just complying with state law. You should write your congressperson and demand the right to purchase alcohol with an expired license. Say it's in the constitution, or something.

The only problem I really have with this is the out-of-state license thing. What difference should it make if your license is from in-state or not? I don't get that.

Easier to fool the cashier with something they are not familiar with.

Right. Up until Monday my drivers license was enough to get me across the border into 2 different countries AND BACK AGAIN. And I can't get a case of Natty Light from Schnucks... puh-leez.

I would hope the people guarding our borders are a little better trained at spotting fake I.D.'s ....

I figured that, but I would think that a cashier would A) Check to see if an ID itself looks legit(some graphic of a state's seal, doesn't matter which), B) Check to see if the photo looks like the person handing it to them, and then C) Make sure the date indicates that they're twenty-one.

If the photo looks like the person and the person looks like they're over 21 and the date indicates they're 21, what else are they supposed to do?

Have you seen the typical cashier? I was one, and I was one of the smartest ones, that tells you just how dumb the average cashier is.
