At over 6β tall, I easily got into bars and clubs when I was 18, 19 years old.
Nobody asked me for ID until I after turned 30. π€·πΎββοΈ

I like when I tell them that I'm older than them. They laugh and say not a chance. Look at my ID and say "holy shit! Not quite but damn". I'm more than twice the legal age.
I was fifty one of the last times I was asked. But that was because they had a new policy of carding anybody that looked 35 and younger. So...I was still jazzed about it!
Hey, I do not care. I will ask an 80 year old for their ID in my state. It is illegal to sell alcohol without checking ID. I would rather look a bit stupid in your eyes for 30 seconds than get charged with a crime. And yes, undercover cops go into stors to see if they ID
being almost 40 (couple of years ago) in the uk, wanting to buy false eyelashes which you have to be sixteen (16) for and asked for ID and REFUSED the sale of them because youd forgotten your ID . the burning shame was too much. i stg, i dont even look young, im just really short!!
Sure, but you can look very much in your 40s and be carded by that policy. It's silly having to ask someone who's definitely not underage for their card, but minimum wage employees don't want to risk their jobs to make a customer slightly less inconvenienced
I work as a waitress at a restaurant that serves alcohol and I always have to ask for ID no matter how old they appear to be. Iβd just rather not be fined and/or fired for not asking lol.
Actually that shit is aggravating. These fuckers at the grocery store see all this gray hair and STILL ask me for my damn I.D. It should be obvious to any motherfucker out here that I was born WAAAY before 2002.
I no longer get asked for my ID and I'm 30 next month. I can't tell if I'm aging poorly or what. I always carded people who looked under 40 when I worked at a gas station.
I was at a ball game just before my 45th birthday. Lady behind the counter asked me for ID. I was thrilled. Jumped up on the counter to give her a kiss on the cheek then suddenly thought "oh shit, I'm in Detroit, I could get shot up here!!!!"
My experience from working the counter at a gas station before is some are fine with it, some take it as a compliment, and some get really angry they have to produce ID. Always hated having to ask the obvious ones. Used to hate pushing some of the advertisements too (cigs and lotto)
Back when I was in high school I went to a Rite Aid with my grandpa, who was a Korean War vet and brick mason for 35 years and looked like a sentient cinder block covered in sandpaper, this new cashier asked to see his ID for beer. He goes, βDo I look fuckin 20?!β Kid sold him his beer lol.
I just got my new Medicare card. Went to a liquor store to buy some small bottles of rum to make some Christmas rum balls & just as I was going to pull my id out of my wallet, she saw my Medicare card that came out with my id & she actually said βNever mind.β Burst my Christmas balloon! π
I still get carded, but I have an illness that has one good side effect (& a slew of crappy ones.) The good one is that I have excess collagen in my skin, so esthetically, I appear much younger. I'm 56.
They ask me to recite my birth date every time I buy wine at Safeway, it's brain-dead policy...I'm 72 ffs!
I have a running feud going on with one particular idiot checker who demands I take out my drivers license so he can look at it.
I got carded until I was about 35. I was crushed for about a year when they stopped asking as I knew I "looked old" then. When I was 22, women wouldn't go out with me saying, "Get back to me when you're out of high school." The good part is I'm now 60 and most people guess I'm around 45.
Most people being carded don't look underage, but it's so minimum wage employees don't get fired for not checking ID. In some cases it is because you look young, though.
When I was about 40 I had a checker at the liquor store card me, refuse to sell when I didnβt have it with me, and threaten to call my mom and tell on me! So I called mom on speaker and we laughed our butts off and in the end I got my beer! π»
I remember, I was 37 and I had my 16 yr old son with me at the grocery store, I was flattered, now in WA state they ask everyone every time, it takes the guess work out of it, it's a hassle but a good thing.
Here in Australia, many, many years ago, there was an alcoholic beverage called Passion Pop (passion furit flavoured sparkling wine) it is cheap and nasty and very popular with under-age kids. I used to card anyone buying it on principle
I get that all the time⦠people asking me how old I am⦠ugh I look them bluntly in the eyes and say. My genetics makes me legolas. You white people age like milk.

Soon, you will experience the "verified over 50" cashier swipe.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
And have another, too. Sorry for stepping on your lawn.

And looks as if sheβs already drunk too much.
At first I thought I was being flirted with, but no? She was somehow serious?
And then I get out of the ball pit.
At least until the next time some one "ma'am"s you
