If you’re clearly of legal drinking age, when was the last time you got carded for alcohol?
My last time was this afternoon at the grocery store ?
Well I was thinking this post was going another way based on the title. ?
Click bait got me ?
The only time I have gotten carded in the last twenty years is when they have a mandatory card everyone policy.
A month ago. I’m 43 and show off my grey.
The cashier said it was because I was wearing pigtails and had a furry purse.
Fair enough ? (immature for life)
A few years ago , (I was 59 yrs old), I flew into Midway Airport , Chicago , walking to get my bag I stopped at a bar to get a beer. The woman asked to see my ID and I started to laugh, she looked at sternly and said she has to see my ID and pointed to a sign that read,' ID's must be shown to purchase an alcoholic beverage inside the airport'.
Today when I bought a foldable pruning saw, a screen popped up asking if I was age18 or older. "Probably because it's dangerous," the clerk said.
OK, believe it or not I was 44.
It was my daughters 16th, that is legal age here.
She wanted to go to a club, so on her birthdday my son and I took her. We had dinner, she had a drink with her meal then went to play a slot machine.
She looks young for her age. So teh young girl came and carded all 3 of is. She of course hardly glanced at mine, but scutinised my daughters and wished her happy birthday, then glanced at my sons. He was only 16 and had a learners permit only, but he looks older so teh girl never checked the dates.
I don't drink alcohol, but I bought a bottle of wine for a gift in August and I was carded.I am 43. My husband told me before I went up to buy it that I would get carded, and I did. There have been numerous times when people have thought I was my husband's daughter (he is 6 months younger than me, and looks his age), and when people have thought I was my sons' sister. Most recently my oldest son, who is 22, and I went to a restaurant and the server thought we were a couple. My son was mortified. I keep getting told that people constantly thinking that I am younger than I am is a good thing, but it honestly gets old sometimes.
I've always looked younger. I remember being 21 and going to a club with an old bf and my 17 year old sister. I got carded up to my 40s.
I get carded every few years, last time was when I was 58. I think sometimes it's just a flirty thing the doorman, clerk or waiter does to get a giggle out of us old gals.
Or it's a legal mandate, but yeah, you're really attractive and maybe with certain people, they would hit on you, but is this a 24/7 pickup deal?
I was last "carded" when my ex and I went dancing at a club when I was 55 years old.
I just laughed and thanked the doorman, and he winked at me.
Couldn’t even tell you. Went out with coworkers a couple weeks ago, they ordered drinks and started digging in their purse/wallet and didn’t know what they were doing. Once they got their IDs out I laughed and said I didn’t know when the last time I got carded. Stupid ass hole waiter STILL didn’t ask for my ID!!!!!
I was carded at a Head Shop in Northampton. I'm 53, (They have to card everyone).
@ScienceBiker It is a wonderful place - I agree!
30 years or more. Now it's pretty obvious that I don't need to be carded.
I work as a cashier at a store in Honolulu, Hi and the policy is anyone appearing under 40 gets carded for alcohol and tobacco sales.
That's pretty odd.
I think the last time I was carded was when my sister tok me out for my 51st birthday. However, my sister's hair strted turnign gray when she was 17, and mine has yet to start to turn grey, so by contrast when righ next to each other she makes me look even yhounger than I already look.
