I remember a story like that on the boards!

...aannd the woman who gave up the ID was 26, meaning that she wouldn't have needed a fake ID in order to get an alcoholic drink.

Ee-gads, the stupidity is astounding.

good point. she could have used her own... although i have a feeling she was going to use the cashier's credit card too.

so even if she *had* used her own ID when she paid for the meal the server would have noticed her own card - hopefully

The story in the OP brought that to mind. Here's the thread.

One that I read about (can't recall where) involved someone using fake ID that was good enough that they'd have gotten away with it, except the manufacturer of the ID made a stupid mistake - put the birthdate as February 30th.
