When I was under 18 I had no problem getting served anywhere. Several months after I turned 18, everywhere started asking me for ID.
It still happens now. Yes I should take it as a compliment that I don't look like a dried up withered husk, but it's still fucking irritating having to carry ID at all times.

Um...
I'm going to have to ask you for some ID before you can say that. :)


I got ID'd for superglue when I was 29....

A college friend of mine was asked for ID to buy a magazine a couple of months ago. She's 23.
A FUCKING MAGAZINE THOUGH. Dear god I almost had to get the tena ladies out.

I wrote a letter of complaint to Sainsburys when I was IDd
My main complaint was that I was 31, paying with a credit card and the beer formed a small part of my weekly shop. Hardly the typical profile of an underage drinker.

I find it funny when people get all up tight about being ID'd
Why would you bother to write a formal letter of complaint? The shop faces a massive fine if they are ever caught selling to minors, I realise that you probably don't look underage by a long shot, but in the US you will be asked for ID in every bar or liquor shop, and the world doesn't end for them. Just get a driving licence or a Prove it card if you're that worried about it happening again.

It's actually the person who sells them the offending article that gets the fine, so I'm never shitty with them as I know they're just doing their job. I however do not look under the age of 21, so fail to see why they employ idiots to work the tills who
cannot work out someone's age.
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Tue 17 Nov 2009, 13:01, Reply)

Thing is
when I was younger, I always think older people all look the same, so I would never know who to ID and who not to, so to be safe I would ID everyone. And if they are under 18 themselves they need to get one of the older till monkeys to approve it anyway.

I'm pretty sure the shop gets in trouble too though.

But you think that everyone looks the same

Haaaaaaaaa, there'a a shop called Starlight stores in a village called Downley, just outside High Wycombe where I went to Uni that employs kids and every single fucking time my flatmates and I were in there there would be a strangled cry of
PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT...CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD. The twisted gnarled form of Pat would then lumber out of the back room, still on the phone, gurning away and adjusting her skirt - she only had 3 functional fingers on her left hand, so it took a while. Take one look at us and snarl "Serve em quick"

^bugger I look like a right grumpy cunt don't I!
To be fair to the till monkey's though, I worked in an off license for a few years when I was a student and was a license holder for a while - shitty managers kept stealing stock and getting caught, so that dubious honour belonged to me - and I sometimes got it wrong with ID'ing people who were old enough to drink, but I wouldn't ask the same people over and over again to produce ID unlike the cunts in supermarkets.

We would have the same argument every day because she was an uppity fucker.
