No ID

[casey13]

Do not tell me that you don't have you id if you're buying alcohol or ciggs. Seriously. Let me look at you and decide if you're old enough before flat out yelling you don't have your id. If you do that, then I am going to refuse the sale. Sorry, Saturday night and I don't want to be busted. Also, if I can't see the holograms, then I want to see the ID out of the wallet. It's supposed to be out anyway.

The girl and the guy weren't sucky, it just was that they flat out told me when I knew they were old enough after I saw them. Don't do that. I think another guy mumbled he didn't have it or he was old enough or something. He did look old enough and I remember him anyway.

*sigh* I hate people. They yell at you if you ask for ID, they yell if you don't, yell at you if they don't have it, yell if they do..... You can never make them happy

What I want to know is...who the hell goes out without an ID?

Homeless people.

I actually don't mind getting ID'd, because I know I look damn young. And I'm happy when I don't get ID'd, because it means the person remembers me.

Unfortunately, most people aren't like me.

Me, nmely because my passport is out of date, I lost my previous Provisional Licence (actually lost the card) and can't affort to pay to replace either, but, if I get asked for ID I don't make a fuss about it.

Well then FWI, Kroger doesn't except Passports as an ID...usually. The manager might make an exception, but a manager has to make the call, meaning you would have to wait for one. Kroger only excepts state issuse IDs from the state the store is located. (like Texas stores only take Texas IDs, etc.). So yeah Just so you know.

Well, I'm in England so those places aren't a worry to me, and by out of date, I mean by like 8 years or so (only needed the damed thing twice lol)

Luckily the people in the shop nearby know me so I don't get ID'd there anyways.

I was visiting a friend and he handed me some money to go get a bottle of rum from the 7-11. I didn't even think to grab my ID and when asked for it I was like "Oh crap! Let me run and get it!"
They took pity on me and asked for my birth date.

Why not? That's the closest thing that exists to a federal ID?

Kroger may be violating the law. Just so you know. Passports ARE valid form of IDs in virtually every state.

They are idiots. Nothing personal, but asking someone for their birthday is not exactly an accepted method for determining someone's age when selling a controlled substance. They not only could have gotten fired for that, they could have been arrested as well. Just saying.

That's for sure. When I tried to scam my way into bars, the first thing I memorized was the correct DOB which would make me legal.

We accept passports at the Kroger I work at. We also have a high foreign and out-of-state customers so we do accept out of state ids.

I don't know. All I know is that we are only allowed to accept Texas state ID or DL when carding for Alcohol. I think it's because those are the only ones we're familiar with and passports are so rare. Besides usually people pull out there passport from another country. It's very rare for someone to pull out their US Passport.

Taken from the TABC website:

A store, bar or restaurant might or might not sell alcohol to a person with an out-of-state driver's license, military ID, or passport. What's acceptable in any establishment is a matter of that establishment's private business policies.

We accept passports at the Kroger I work at. We also have a high foreign and out-of-state customers so we do accept out of state ids.

Hm, maybe the policy is different in different divisions or something... Cause as far as I know it's company policy to only take Texas ID or DL. So maybe it's only a SW Division thing.

That's what Mrs. TGK and I will be using for ID when we go to Galveston in another week and a half. There are guidebooks that show the valid ID and DL's for every state--sounds like someone is going cheap.
