Quoth Nakajo View PostSC Dad: Well, let me tell you something. I have never had my daughter carded in this place and I don't expect to again.
As I tell some of the more unruly "I shouldn't be ID'd" idiots, "If you don't like it, take it up with the Legislature!" Not my problem, kids, I'm doing what the law REQUIRES me to do.
Quoth BookstoreEscapee View PostI got one of those once. I asked for ID and she said "Why?" all suspicious-like. I just showed her the back of the card and said "Because your card told me to ask."
As for carding people way beyond the legal age, I HAVE carded people who were in their forties before. Myself, I am 20 days from my 39th birthday, and I still occasionally get carded. My response when they ask for my ID? "AbsoLUTEly!"

Quoth imal'sheva View PostAnyone who carded me would get a huge smile and an even bigger tip (I am 46).
Anyway, I don't even start a return without seeing the client's ID. No special reason only that the client gives us more detailed financial information than they give most relatives. Also it partially deters scammers, as they are the quickest to balk at that requirement.I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

Cashiers and the like don't ask for my ID.
Well, technically, they don't finish asking for my ID since I have it out and ready before they even start.
My wallet's gotten old enough that I can pull any card I want out of it without actaully opening it. Which is fine under normal circumstances, but it also means that if I hold my wallet upside down, all the cards will fall out.

I have sort of an opposite problem. I look very young, and I'm short too. Most of the time, I don't look within 5 years of the 25 I am.
Yet I almost never seem to get carded, or if I do get carded for buying scratch tickets, it's right AFTER the sale has been completed and I'm getting my change! I'm not offended by any clerk who asks me for ID, they're doing their job in doing so! It's easily accessable in my wallet for if they do ask, but I'm not gonna dig it out if they have no plans to even look anyway.
The very first time I went to bingo, it was my 18th birthday, and my mom even brought my birth cirtificate along just in case anyone gave us a hard time (ie, not believing my ID was in fact real). The only reason the guy at the door even took a glance at my ID is cause I had it all but shoved in his face in preparation!
