Had this REALLY young looking guy come in last week. Never seen him before, looked about 16-17. He brought a 12 pack of Bud to the counter. I asked him for ID. He gave it to me. It wasn't a Virginia ID, but I have seen a lot of other states because I'm right by the Navy base. Can't remember what state it was. Now, this guy looked like he didn't even shave yet and had braces. They don't really mean much because I've had friends that got them as adults. But still....I looked at the card VERY closely, it said he was 21. Something in my head said to deny the sale. I said something about the card to him but I sold him the beer. I thought about it all night and wondered if it was a sting. This past Saturday he came back. More Bud. When he came to the counter he said "Hey, remember me?" I said I did and told him I wasn't going to sell him the beer. He asked why. I told him I didn't believe he was 21, even with ID. He didn't say a word, turned around and walked out. In my experience, if someone really was 21 they would have raised holy hell and caused a scene. He didn't. So I'm pretty sure it was a fake ID. You can order them on line very easily. I guess he thought since it was a small store it would be a good place to try it out. It was very new-looking. I don't think he'll be back.

It's ok, stickycoins.
I was interested in a guy a few months ago, when I still worked at the gas station. He came in nearly every day, and unlike most people, I remembered him easily, so I quit carding him ages ago. (he'd been coming in since practically when I was hired a year ago)
Well, we were chit chatting on the phone, and he goes, "I have a confession to make. You sold to me when I was underage."
I'm like "HUH?!"
Turns out, all that time ago, he'd been using his older brother's ID. It looked exactly like him.
He didn't actually turn 21 until last January or February. I was pissed. I thought I was better than that at finding fakes.You really need to see a neurologist. - Wagegoth

One of the gas stations I used to work at actually had a book that showed the current valid IDs for all 50 states and any IDs that were older but could still be within the valid range. It was quite handy. Each picture had a list of various features to look for, like holograms or ghost photo images, etc."Oh, the strawberries don't taste as they used to and the thighs of women have lost their clutch!"

Quoth Lace Neil SingerI've never had anyone try me with a fake ID, most of the underage people who try to buy alcohol seem to think that just saying they're 18 works just as well. Funnily enough, it doesn't work.

I had just moved to California from South Dakota and hadn't yet gotten a California drivers license.
I went to buy wine and the cashier refused the sale saying my ID was fake! My South Dakota drivers license with a hologram of Mt. Rushmore on it, which back then would have been darn near impossible to fake.
She sold it to my now husband, then boyfriend when he offered to buy it for me though.Do not annoy the woman with the flamethrower!

On topic, I've had fake ID's, Fake passports. Caught all of them. (I hope...)
My favorite two was the girl who's ID said she was 7 feet tall and male, and the dude who's face didn't match the ID and didn't remember his birthday.Military Spouse Support.

(We did end up straightening everything out with my husband showing his own DL.)
