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

To you f*cking idiots saying the kid was doing his job, and dude should have brought his ID, are you telling me that if a shriveled up old man tried to buy a bottle of wine, that he too should be asked for ID?? GTFOH!!

104 - How old are you? Do you seriously think a man who is 37 is a "shrivelled up old man"? Wow...... You must think I'm "middle aged" then because I'm 28. I look like I'm 14 though, seriously I have to have ID to play the lottery and just yesterday I was asked for the millionth time by some stranger "why are you not in school?" He should just learn to carry his ID and get over himself.

Amusing story, a few years ago, on holiday in the US (Florida) my father was ID'd buying a bottle of wine. The man is 60. He admittedly looks good for his age... but not THAT good.

You know, I would say FYL, but since you seem like a complete asshole in your FML, I'll give you a nice big YDI.

My guess is that the OP didn't so much complain to the manager as complain at the manager.

I work at A place like this, where we have a "100% proof policy" and have to card everyone or we lose our jobs. True he should have asked for a manager, as im sure they wouldve granted you instant approval, but there was no need for you to be a nuisance and make an ass out of yourself. YDI.

Actually in the U.K. a manager is not allowed to override the decision of the cashier. They stand by and support their colleagues because the cashier has obviously asked to see ID for a reason.
