I live one block from my grocery store. They're having a sale on my favorite beer, so in celebration of my impromptu night off, I went and grabbed a box. I get to the register, ID in hand like always. She scans my stuff, gets to the beer, and I reach out to hand her my ID.
Cashier: Are you 21?
Me: *nods lightly, turns ID face-forward so she can take it*
Cashier: Are you 21????
Me: *side eyes* Yeah? *shakes my ID a little* I'm actually 23
Bagger: You have it out and ready
Me: Yeah, everyone asks for it, might as well.
Cashier: *looks at me, takes ID, punches in birthdate* So whens your birthday??
Me: October 23rd 1986.
Cashier: Oh so its your birthday soon.
Me: Yeah, another year and I get a cut on my car insurance.
Bagger: (all of 19 maybe) Oh jeez I pay like 135 a month its terrible
Me: *nods*
Cashier: Okay your total is x.xx.
Whats with the 21 questions here. They ALWAYS check my ID, I always have it out, we never have any problems. This woman seemed incredibly suspicious that i had my ID on me and ready. Its not really sucky on her part, it just caught me off guard. I thought she was going to decline the sale and say my DL was fake.
edit: well, in her defense, I am a brunette in my DL picture (currently platinum blonde). My face still looks like my face though.
