But SHE"S the one buying them.

[Hon'ya-chan]

I actually got cussed out once demanding ID for the Beserk manga on a teenager. The mom came up and huffed, demanded to know why I denied selling the manga to her kids, and when I mentioned the infamous Rape Scence, she beat her kid pretty fast, scolding her what the heck she was reading that crap for.

Of course, I still have kids trying to read the Kama Sutra books and break open all the wrapped Yaoi manga. If they can't produce ID, their asked to leave.

I know I'm a bit of a jerk, but I loved every moment of refusing a sale.

Heh, I also get a kick out of refusing sales. XD Especially since in October over here there was a change in the law regarding ciggie sales; kids have to be 18 rather than 16 to get served. Goes something like this:

Kid: I'd like a pack of Mayfair, please.
Me: Can I see some ID?
Kid: But I'm 16!
Me: You have to be 18 now, sorry.

Epic fail. XD

I know I'm a bit of a jerk, but I loved every moment of refusing a sale. It wasn't kids either, but immigrants trying to use their green cards or out of country ID.

Really? Do you have something against people of other backgrounds?

In NM, everyone in the party present gets carded if a single person purchases alcohol or tabacco...

Since when?? I've lived in NM literally my whole life (Well, except for my year of insanity when I lived in El Paso. But I was up in Las Cruces almost every weekend) and have never seen this happen. I can't even find anything in NMRLD that addresses it.

This got me thinking.
I'm Polish, all I have is my Polish ID card.
Let's say I went to the USA for two weeks, and wanted to grab a beer.
Are you saying I wouldn't be able to purchase alcohol AT ALL?
That's ridiculous

If that's true, then it sounds like part of the uncomfortable stereotype that the collective Americans think they rule the world...

I assume you would have a passport to come over here, and that would be accepted most places. Many wouldn't accept ID cards from other countries because they have a hard enough time keeping up with the valid state IDs from this one.

[Misanthropical]

Geek King, that is for sure! In California they refused to sell me anything with my valid South Dakota ID, which is all I had on me at the time.

Then again, how do they know if the passport is genuine?

BTW, I wonder how that applies to Schengen member states.
Poland has recently entered the Schengen zone, and we can
travel the European Union countries with no border control, nor need for passports.

What if I wanted beer in the UK, and they would refuse because I'd only have my Polish ID?

[Rapscallion]

I had my passport refused at a burger bar in the Mall of Americalandialand once. They wanted some ID to verify my credit card, and the guy (looked like the father from Americalandialand Chopper - perfect tache) really didn't trust it.

See, I don't get that. A passport is kind of like the ultimate ID.

BTW - Americalanialand - love that!

Of course, we don't trust you, you commie bastard.

Federal law states only American issued picture IDs can be used for alcahol or tobacco purchases.

I do work at McDonald's, you know...
