My mother is 60 years old, plump, graying, and wrinkly. She has not been ID'd for cigs or alcohol, for about.... twenty years now. She still kept her ID with her just-in-case until just a couple years ago. She now keeps her driver's license in her car without problems.
Well, she was at Wally with her co-worker in a very long line around 10pm buying beer. It's finally her turn at the register and the very young, 18-20 ish worker looks at the beer, then looks at her and asks for ID.
My mother's face went dark and evil. Very dark and evil.
My mother considers it as an insult to be asked for ID because of well, her wrinkles and being a grandmother.
"Do I look 21?!" she asked, loudly and angrily. The sentencing is short and weird because her english is limited. The worker does not say anything but looks embarrassed. "I am 60 years old!" The worker still looks embarrassed like he regrets asking. My mother has bad legs and does not want to walk back to the car for her id so she has her co-worker buy it instead with his ID. She knows that once the worker has asked for the ID, he cant retract it because she ran a grocery herself.
While she's waiting for the transaction to finish, she turns and asks the people behind her, "Do I look 21?"
One man agrees that the worker shouldn't have asked and shakes his head at the worker.
Was my mother an SC for getting angry and yelling and pulling other people into it?
