Maybe, if he asked me why I wouldn’t sell him the spray paint without seeing his id. In that case, it would be an explanation of why the id-check policy exists, not an expression of my belief that he looked like a vandal. (Although by that point, I would suspect that he might be up to no good specifically because he was refusing to show me his ID.)
I had a noticably receding hairline before I was 25. I’d sell to someone who looked old enough to be his dad without needing id, but if I could get in trouble for not carding someone I should have carded, I wouldn’t bet my job on the fact that he isn’t an older-looking 24.
And would you additionally say that "We can’t serve you, you could be doing graffiti with this” as was claimed in the article?

But you would sell it to an ID-less older white guy no problem, as they did? This guy does not look like he’s 25 or under.
