Today, I refused to serve a woman alcohol, as she looked underage. She complained to my manager about "age racism." FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I was fired for not asking a senior citizen for proof that he was over 21 and legally allowed to purchase alcohol. When I told my manager he was clearly over 21, he replied, "But what if he WASN'T?" FML
Today, a cute thirty-ish chick walked into the bar I work in. I asked her for her license to make her feel young. She didn't have her license on her and started yelling about how stupid it was to even ask, when she obviously was old enough to drink. She then got up and left. FML
Today, while buying drinks, the cashier immediately refused me and said, “Don’t even bother showing me your ID, you’re obviously 12." I’m 31. FML
Today, I was refused employment at a liquor store. Their reason? I'm a regular customer and they're afraid I'll drink all their profits. FML
Today, I was sent home for refusing to sign a write up at my restaurant. A customer insisted that she doesn’t drink soda so she’d like a ginger ale. I calmly explained to her that ginger ale is in fact soda. She told management I was being condescending and rude, because she didn’t believe me. FML
Today, I got fired as a waiter because I refused to serve alcohol to a pregnant woman and she reported me. Turns out she's not pregnant, she's just a fat Karen. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. My manager found Facebook pictures of me drinking underage at a party. He said he didn't want "that kind of image" associated with the business. It was his birthday party. He supplied the booze. FML
Today, when I went to the gas station to buy beer, some underage punk outside asked me to buy him booze. I told him to get bent, but the dumbass cashier had seen me talking to him, and refused to let me buy alcohol because, "This is obviously a sting." FML
Today, I tried to buy a bottle of wine from the supermarket. The scrawny, acne-ridden kid at the checkout asked to see my ID. I didn't have any on me, since I'm 37 years old and didn't expect to be asked stupid questions. I complained to his manager, only to be asked to leave. FML
Today, I went to the bar to celebrate my friend's birthday party. I gave the bouncer my ID and he kicked me out, saying that I should at least use an ID card with the correct gender. I'm 22 and female, he thought I was an underage boy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

"Sir, I'll have you know that your employee thinks I am Younganese. This is incredibly racist, I'm clearly Boozehoundian."

age racism is a very real thing; when i was 13 i got arrested for drunk driving just because of my age

Well, were you drunk? And what were you doing driving around at 13?

Agecism I believe is what she meant

wow, people will try anything.

Imagine what she would have said if you asked for some ID.

You did the right thing

How did he do the right thing? I am in no way defending the customer for what she said, but I look underage as well and I don't get refused alcohol because I look young, I get asked for an ID. The customer is stupid for what they said, but, if you go straight off what is written in the FML, the OP is just as stupid for refusing based purely on looking underage without asking for an ID.

The term would be age discrimination but that doesn't apply there....

Actually, technically it does. The fact it's allowed by law doesn't change the definition of the word :P.

lol. How rude of you. That must have been fun though. Sorry OP.

Why didn't you just card her and know her age fur sure?
toaster87 19
You can't assume that, the OP said they refused alcohol just because the Customer looked underage, if you go straight off what is said, I'd say the OP deserved the complaint, no matter how stupid the complaint was.

In England if you look under 25 then they ask for ID

I assume you didn't card seeing as you said she 'looked' underage, so you might be to blame if she really is of age.

In terms of checking for some sort of ID, maybe she didn't have any with her and hoped to get away with it. If she didn't, then the law and most policies protect OP here.

You have to fight for your right to P-A-R-T-Y...
