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?

I really don't think the cashier being scrawny or having acne is relevant AT ALL. OP is an asshole.

Some places say they are supposed to ID if you look under 30..so take it as a compliment!

The law is that if you appear under 40, they have to check your ID. They can lose their liquor license if they don't. The kid was doing his job, ydi for being a snooty bitch. You're 37 years old and bashing sone teenagers appearance over a bottle of ******* wine. Grow up.

If it makes you feel any better I was denied the right to buy alcohol when all I had on me was my military ID.

Wow, some of you need to learn to read. This happened in the UK, where we don't have Thanksgiving. The law here is that if you look under 25, you will be asked for ID. I agree that OP is bitching about nothing, but remember that we have different laws and customs here in the UK.

Don't be a dick hole, people in retail have to deal with "stings" and can be fired, charged with a felony while having to pay a shit ton of fines. You should just have your ID on you.

what do you guys mean It's his job to ask? I doubt this guy looks that young at the age of 37. if the customer looks easily over 25/30, you don't ask!
