I was out with friends last night. Everyone at the table was late 30's, early 40's. I was the oldest at 43.
We ordered drinks and the waitress asked for my ID. She was very embarassed when she saw my 1962 birthday.
But I have been a good mood since.
At what age were you last asked for ID when purchasing liquor?
Well the last time I went to the movies I qualified for the senior citizens discount for the first time ever (I'm 55).
But at least the kid behind the ticket counter didn't offer it to me until I asked about it after seeing a sign on the wall.
Does that count?
(He didn't ask to see my ID to prove I was really old enough, though.)
It's been a good 10 years since I've been carded. Not sure that's so good!
A certain major grocery store chain in Milwaukee cards EVERYONE. Doesn't matter if you are an 88 year old grandmother buying a pint of peppermint schnapps or a 22 year old buying a case of Leinenkugels, You HAVE to show ID. Of course, in our state the governor says it is an illegal act to ask someone to prove their identity to VOTE!!
Come on! I'm an old man. I'm confused! What's my name?
I got carded on the River Walk in San Antonio this weekend at several different bars. I'll be 48 in Oct. P.S. Coyote Ugly is not all that!
If you meet a waitress at the San Antonio/River Walk Hard Rock Cafe who has a pieced tongue and a spider tatoo on her shoulder, let me know.
I was there a couple of years ago and ordered a draft beer. She said, "Do you want a regular draft or a girlie-man draft?"
To which I responded, "A regular draft."
She brings me a 20 oz beer with a $10 bill. But she tells me that I can keep the Hard Rock Cafe glass.
She saw no tip from me that day.
"Sorry man, can't do it."
Now thats how ridiculous the TABC is and how much fear they put on restaurants. Of course if your a hot 19 year old girl I am sure they will find a way to get you in.
Conclusion: Unless some 19 year old babes are hitting on you... don't let it go to 'yer head.
I got carded at age 35 at a liquor store in Bellingham, Washington. I thought it complimentary and hilarious.
And if it was up to me, I'd card you every time. Young lady.
oooooooooh!!
that tickles!
41.
Yep. A friend of mine is a bartender, and he told me the same thing last week. An expired driver's license (technically, even an out-of-state license) is not a valid ID to authorize the purchase and consumption of alcohol in Texas.
Ugh.
That sounds SO not Texan!
Where's the wild west???
:^)
I'm 61 now.
Hats off to you!
You got me beat by 15 years.
Maybe it was to give you a senior discount?
When I was 15, I used to drink next to boys from the local precinct, at Pete's Blarney Stone Tavern. Hell, at least I paid for my goddamn beer. (No, I didn't have phony ID, Pete didn't ask, I didn't show.)
When I was 13, I bought cigarettes.
Some stores required a "note from
a parent" stating you were buying
the cigarettes for the parent.
Very few stores ever asked for a
note, but at age 13, I could write
as well as my mother. Always had
a "note" in my pocket, just in case.
LOL!
