I Don't Care, I Still Need your ID.

... I got my prescription for Lortabs last week without ID...

I had two credit cards w/ name matching script and was willing to stumble out to my truck to fetch my Drivers License, which was wrapped in the base pass for Dugway Proving Grounds.

I think they doubted my ability make it all the way back, the way I was wobbling.

After the first three times of asking and they still put up a fight, I would have taken the alcohol to make her think you were bagging it, but then put it under the counter and said, "ok, you don't have ID or you would have presented it by now", and moved on to the rest of the items. No point in holding everyone else up behind the lady...

My BF took me to an alcohol store we hadn't been in before. They ... don't card at the point of sale. They card you when you come in.

And my favorite grocery store from back home cards everyone. Even if you're 90. Mom just laughs about it.

I don't have a problem producing ID when asked, but I think it's funny that I am far more likely to be carded if I'm by myself than if I'm with my husband. He's 10 years older than I am.

That is awesome! This saves the cashiers the hassle of holding up the line later on, and it saves the customer time from having to dig for it and find it when they're ready to check out.

Oh, I've taken it personally when I haven't been ID'd for alcohol.

I took it personally a bunch of years ago when me and a group of girlfriends went out to a resturant - the server asked for one of my friend's ID (she's 13 months older than me) but I guess he thought I was a dinosaur compared to her.

What is funny is I am pretty sure these people drive to the locations where they are purchasing age restricted items. Last time I checked you will get ticketed and have to go to court if you drive without a license. Mind you, you go and present your license to the judge it will normally get thrown out but still. I would love to see these SC's chew out an officer saying that it is stupid that they have to have a license.

Ergh, I had one of these tonight. As per my IDOGTFO (ID or GTFO) policy, I asked for the guy's ID. He got all huffy, said he didn't have it with him, and chucked the bag of gummi bears he was going to buy along with his cigs onto the counter, toward me, then left. Sorry dude, I can't change the law. Learn to be a big boy and carry your ID with you, since you look MAYBE nineteen at the oldest.

I don't get it - show the damn ID already - is it really that difficult to take it out of your wallet???

Yes. Yes, it is. They might sprain a finger or something and wind up stuck in bed for a week. :eyeroll:

I take great and sadistic pleasure in watching people who're too lazy to bring their IDs into the store with them have to go all the way back out into the parking lot to their crapmobile to fetch it.
