fluff: do you still get carded?

I'm 43. There is no way in hell I look like I'm 20, and I find it really annoying to have to go through that nonsense. I do understand that it's just a policy to ask, and I don't hold it against anyone got asking to see it, but I think it's silly nonetheless.

No clerk on earth thinks I'm under 21 and I'm not flattered by someone pretending otherwise. Even more annoying is showing ID to buy cigarettes or a good cigar for my dad. I'm not 17 and no 43 year old on earth looks 17, unless they're Webster I guess.

I am well past 60, but get carded at 2 stores, but not at the liquor store.

Nope. I have opted not to dye my hair, which starting showing noticeable gray when I was about 28. Since typically women do hide their gray, people seem to have lost any concept of what women my age look like with gray hair, so instead of being carded, people keep thinking I'm my kids' grandmother instead.

Here everyone is carded.
That have to enter your bday into the cash register.

It doesn't matter if you're 21 or 81, they ask for your ID.

Believe it or not, occasionally I am.

I have kids old enough to buy alcohol. You should see the looks on the faces of people who card them. It's quite entertaining!

They don't card people who only look under 21 in California, they card you if they think you look under 40. I tend to get carded more often at grocery stores and liquor stores than when I order a drink at a restaurant.

I was never carded, even in my 20s, for buying alcohol.

But when I wanted to buy a TAPE RUNNER at Walmart, I sure was. (It was weird; I am sure that the same people who made the tape runner also made super glue, etc., and things you CAN inhale, but I thought it was endlessly stupid that someone didn't bother to note that this was dry tape.)

I still get carded occasionally at Wal-Mart. Depends on how old the cashier is LOL. And I'm almost 55.

I get carded when I buy alcohol at Walmart. They need to enter some information into the system. I only use the self-checkout at Walmart.

Only to buy spray paint. The only other recent time I can recall was buying beer at the grocery. I just beamed at the guy and said "Aren't you sweet!"

I was buying some supplement or something at Walmart that you had to be 18 to buy. (I was mid-30's at the time.) The much older cashier asked "Are you 18?"
I laughed and said "What do you think?"
She replied "Well, I don't know."
Thinking she was just fooling me, I said "Do you want to see my ID?"
She replied again, deadpan, "Well, yes I do."
I showed it to her, than as I checked out, I got cash back on my card. At the time, they checked ID when you were getting cash back (or something like that, this was about 10-12 years ago.) I said, annoyed at this point, "You just saw my ID!"
Her response "well, yes, but I didn't see your signature."

It didn't help my response, when after about every 5th item, she kept running to the phone to call someone. When I asked what she was doing, she said, "Well, I'm off in 10 minutes, someone needs to come and replace me." Ummmm....you couldn't wait until you were done with your customer first? Walmart at it's finest!

I recently went to a concert and my friend said they card everyone. She went in and they carded her. She is in her 30's I took my license out and they dude did not even look at it.

I am nearly 52... and rocking my grey hair but sheesh way to hurt the ego!

Got carded buying popits at Target for the kids, but not at WinCo buying rum and gin last week.

It's a requirement in most stores. I agree that I get carded more now then I did when I was in my 20's. Store policies have changed.
