Ha ha. You guys are funny. I sat next to a girl who was going to Northwestern and got hired as an intern. Cute little thing. We were talking surfing because she was originally from SoCal. She choked on her drink when I told her how old I was. I can see the little fine wrinkles starting though...

The dickwad at BevMo just carded me. Do I look like I am under 21?? Then he tries to run my ID through the machine that verifies age repeatedly as I tell him that I erased the magnetic strip, so it cannot be run through those machines.

Nah, no threat at the moment - 120km away. There is lots of ground fuel, but it'd also need the prevailing winds to carry it. It's possible but not likely, and it'll take a few days to get here. It's worth keeping an eye on though

Run him thru the machine next time.

I told him that the guy(5-10 years older) behind me has grey hair and you better card him as well.

Dipsheet starbucks barista didn't know how to make cafe cubano so I just asked for a sextuple espresso.......blank stare........we're all going to hell in a handbasket made by the retards our public education system has produced

Probably standard procedure. Card everyone that way they are covered.

I got carded last year. I did not mind. The clerk said the he was told to card everyone. He said he just carded his own brother. it was corporate policy. I carry my ID all the time.

That was the first time being carded at BevMo. I think the guy was new and probably did take the corporate policy a bit too literally. Even the old guy that works there has never carded me, while carding others. I do understand, but really?

There are the obvious years (like Max and Sid), then the semi obvious years as they hit their mid to late 20's and even into the early 30's. It's pretty easy to tell who is under 21 and in their 20's.

If I get carded when I am in a wheel chair and all grizzled, I'll get up and smack the person with my oxygen tank.

I will be happy when they card me when I am 85...

[Porsche-poor]

Nite all.

When I was in Tennessee I ordered a beer at a restaurant and the waitress said "I am sorry but I have to see your ID" I asked why she was sorry about it and she said many customers get very upset and mad. I did not understand and see said just the night before a couple that was obviously in their 70s or older was celebrating their wedding anniversary and the 40 something kids had driven. The old couple did not have a ID with them so they could not be served any alcohol. That is stupid, but the policy. I had my ID so it was not a problem.
