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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 tried buying alcohol for the first time. I have a baby face, so I had my ID ready. The store owner admitted that my ID looked real enough, but he wouldn't believe it wasn't just an elaborate fake. He very nearly called the cops on me. FML
Today, I went to buy some Ibuprofen and got asked for ID. You have to be over 16 to buy it. I'm 25. FML
Today, I was carded for trying to buy wine and was told the dates were faded, so they wouldn’t be selling it to me, since they suspected I was underage. I work at the vineyard that produces the wine, I’m the head vintner, and I made the wine in the bottle I wasn’t allowed to buy. 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 bought a small bottle of liquor to share with my husband to celebrate our move. It took three hours at the store as the cashier, manager, GM, and a police officer checked my ID believing it was fake. I'm 25. FML
Today, I went to buy some beer using my fake ID, when the cute cashier and I started flirting. When he asked me how old I was, I said without thinking, "Nineteen." FML
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 my job started requiring all transactions regarding cigarettes or alcohol to have the ID scanned before proceeding. There is no way yo bypass this function. I carded a 60 year-old man and his 40 year-old son who both yelled at me for 10 minutes. FML
Today, I went to see a movie. While buying tickets, the girl behind the counter asked to show my ID card to proof I'm at least 16 years old. Not wanting to make a drama, I showed it. She took a look at it and declared it as fake. That ID is real and I'm 24. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI for being a dumbass and not keeping ID on you. Most stores in my area card you if you LOOK under 40. Then again I'm the type of person that if I'm buying something & you have to be 18+/21+ for I'm handing my ID to the cashier/clerk before they even ask. I also always keep my purse (which contains my ID) on me at all times and if it's not on me then it's in the car near by.

YDI for thinking they would make an exception for you. They have to ask you for your ID, or else they can be fired. Instead of taking your ID (which you should always have with you no matter what), and showing it to them to prove you're old enough, you threw a fit when he wouldn't sell it to you illegally. And yes, it is illegal to sell alcohol without seeing ID. Once again, YDI.

No, it isn't. Stop thinking that the laws of your country apply to everyone else's countries.

where I work, if someone wants to buy alcohol, we have to SCAN the back of their ID and the computer knows if it's valid or not. otherwise the register won't even let you complete the transaction. you should keep your ID on you at all times anyway. YDI.

I wasn't going to click either way - until I saw you thought you had a right to insult somebody just because you didn't get your way. Ignoring that you're too stupid to bring the ID just in case, you look down on others because they aren't fit or possibly had bad genetic (acne) - chances are he's smarter than you anyhow. P.S. I'm not scrawny nor do I have acne, so don't try to pull out that card.

They have to ask if you look under 40.

Did you really have to insult the poor guy because he was just doing his job and what the law says? It was jerks like you that made me absolutely hate working as a cashier at a grocery store. It has to be done; did you honestly think the manager was going to side with you?

If you didn't have ID then I hope you weren't driving.
