Last night...
I was at work for a total of an hour and a half.

For those who don't know, I have a lovely new job at a local bar. We are VERY tight on ID.

I was approached at the bar, by a girl/woman who looked about 15/16. I asked her for ID. Here is what followed.

Her: "Vodka and coke please"
Me: "Have you got any ID with you?"
Her: "For god's sake... NO!"
Me: "I'm sorry, but I can't serve you"
Her: *storms towards door*
Her: *Turns and heads back towards me*
Her: *Can I have a glass of water then?"
Me: "Sorry, but you have to be 18 to be in here, and you have no ID"
Her: "That's 14!"
Me: "No, in this chain, you must be 18 to be in the pub unless you are eating with an adult. Sorry."
Her: "Can I use your toilet then?"
My colleague: "Yes, but you have to leave straight away after"
Her: *Storms into the toilets*

20 Minutes later.......

Customer comes storming out of the loo's and screams at me:

"I've never been so insulted in my life! I'm 22 and a half years old!"

I shrugged and she walked out.

Me and my colleagues pissed ourselves.

The end.

*generic length/apology*

I got ID'd well into my twenties
I was well aware that I looked like a kid, so always carried ID. I never took it as an insult, having a part time job as a barmaid (once got ID'd by the Police when working!) and if I forgot the ID, tough luck. My own fault.

"I'm 22 and a half years old..."
bahahahaa,

surely everyone stops mentioning what fraction of age they are when they get to about 8!

"I'm 36 and three quarters!!" *BIG GRIN*

Edit - Also I'm a very young looking 20 year old and get ID'd all the time, I really dont see why people have a problem with it. How hard is it to put a driving license in your wallet with all your other cards?!?

having been id'd many times
I always carry some with me, and if I do get asked I smile and go "yeah, but i'm 26, so thanks, you've just made my night."

no sense in kicking off, except at a bouncer once where my friend once shouted "he's twenty four for fucks sake, I look younger than he does!" and surprisingly, they let me in.
