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?

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.

Smfh uhhh it's a policy no matter how old you are... You can be 10000 years old and it's their policy to card everyone... SMFH

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.
