Last night I had to make an emergency run to the grocery store because I had just run out of milk. I don’t know what it is with the kids, but lately they have been drinking milk like it’s going out of style. I had also run out of creamer for my coffee this morning, but since I use milk when I’m out, I hadn’t thought to get more. Well, that was shot, so of course I had to go to the store for sure! Anyway, after fighting with the fridge rack to let go of the last bottle of non-fat hazelnut (I give up fats, not sugars. I’m not stupid), I start walking to the front of the store to pay for my foodstuffs when I saw this:
I do ♥ me some Shiner, and I do enjoy their seasonals. Well, it is October, so I figure this is a sign. Beer is food, right? I thought so. So, I grab a six pack, and finally come to the register to check out, and surprisingly, the gentleman asks to see my ID. Well, ok… I show him my ID, and he proceeds to ring up the rest of the groceries. And then I see this:
Did you read that?? “Appearing under the age of 40″!!!! He carded me because I LOOK YOUNGER THAN 40!!!!

Beer really is food! I heard a doctor discussing it on TV the other day….
I was recently carded to prove I am a senor citizen, guess that’s something….:-) not sure what….

At least you didn’t ask if they needed to see your ID and they gave you “nah” as a response.

I get so excited when they card me! WOW. That sounded sad.
It’s even more fun at the convenience store with the sign saying they card everyone under 24. But they’re foreign, so maybe we all look alike… 😛

Bahahaha! That makes me laugh. I actually had a black male boss once who continually called me the wrong name. Once when I corrected him, he told me we all looked alike. I was only about 23 at the time and too intimidated by his authority to do anything. It would be very different now. If I had said it to him, I would most likely have lost my job!

Sadly, I haven’t been carded in a couple decades. 😦

Every other year, I still get carded.
In Indiana, there was a stupid law in effect that everyone was carded.
It was funny watching a silver-haired beauty getting carded for a bottle of sherry.

Good for you! I think the last time I was carded was . . . 1978?
