When I ask for ID...

[KiaKat]

Either hand it to me, or tell me you have to go get it. Don't go on about how you can't believe I actually ID'd you, or how it must be because you're "on a bike" instead of driving.

Do that, and I will hand you your credit card, put your wine behind the counter, and raise an eyebrow at your toddler-worthy antics. I will then invite you to return with the proper identification to prove your age, and suspend your transaction.

*Bonus points if you continue ranting to your SO as you walk out the door, down to your bikes, and as you ride away.

*Double bonus points if I can still hear you when you hit the intersection behind the store.

I always like to have my ID on me. Is it morbid that I do so because I'd want to be properly identified by the hospital if something happens to me? Not that it would help with diagnoses or anything, but it'd be nice.

[KiaKat]

What's incredible is that they actually came back.

With proper ID.

Both born in 87. Yeeup. That's why they threw a fit. It's always the ones under 25 who give me shit.

[NateTheChops]

Of course. Because they're not the ones who will lose their job and get slapped with a fine if you don't ID them and it gets to the authorities.

I have to say, I don't miss selling alcohol to people like that, but I do miss having one thing that I could tell a customer no about and not have the dipshit management step in to over ride me. (not unless they wanted me reporting them of course, which I was known to do)

Yup. Nineteen out of twenty over twenty-five are tickled pink to get carded. Every now and then you (well, I do at least) get someone who wants to be all stupid about it (look lady, I don't do this day in and day out like I did fifteen years ago. My age determination skills have atrophied), but more often than not they accept it with a smile and take it as a compliment.

I resent that remark. I was born in 87 and I know the laws, must card anyone under a certain age (60 isn't it?). I don't drink though so.

Yeah, I live in Wisconsin and don't drink. I'm a special kind of man.

[KiaKat]

You'd probably also actually bring your ID to a liquor store.

Under 25 + not bringing ID to buy booze = Hissy fit. At least 9 times out of 10.

[ShinyGreenApple]

The real winners are the ones who buy the stuff on their 21st birthday and then get pissy because you card

40 in california.

i carry my ID. I lost my DL a week or two ago, i am thoroughly depressed because I cant buy my red wine to celebrate the new job

[Wenchie]

I always assume that people are going to card me because I look young, so I have my ID out and ready.

A) Yes, you are special B) I believe it's 36 C) I never get carded. Well, rarely, even going back to my early 20s.

[SengaKitty]

In Georgia, it's anyone who looks under 30. I love the different reactions I get when I ask for ID. 90% of the people I card I already know are over the age, but also can gauge that they'll be tickled if I ask, and they usually know I'm picking on them.

The winner did come in today, though. He didn't get upset when I had to deny him, just said the ID he gave me was all he had cause he lost his wallet yesterday. The ID? A New York learners permit that expired in 2006. That's right. An out of state learners' permit that expired four years ago. *smh*

I'm only 22 and depending on what I wear etc. for the day, I can look around 15, so I full expect to be carded. I'm fine with it. I'd rather they card me than NOT card me, as for all they know, I am 15.

I was selling drink tickets tonight at a harvest festival... the nice thing is that they all got carded at the entrance because it was a 21+ event, so they were wristbanded. So I didn't have to card when I sold them the drink tickets, and they didn't have to get carded when they actually got their drinks either.

Of course, I had more than a few people think I was too young to be in there...

[Darkforge]

I just got carded yesterday when buying a couple fo beers with my weekly shop, I showed them my ID and they recommended I get a slightly newer one as its an 11 year old drivers licence (they don't really expire in the UK) and I look quite different to the picture now I've got long hair and am not a spotty teenager.

ah well
