Could you be more obvious?

One of the most awkward things about the fuel station is having to card a lot of people for cigs and beer. Sometimes because I get a young-looking person and find out they were born in the 70s...

That's my boyfriend - the young looking one.
He gets ID'd all the time when we go out and people often apologize after they see his birthday. Even my own mother refuses to believe he's over 28.

He's 37 next month.

At a concert this summer he was ID'd to get beer (their rule was they ID anyone who looks under 30) and the girl yelled, "OH SHIT!" when she saw his birthday.
It's always entertaining until the little high from being mistaken for nearly 10 years younger kicks in and he starts the, "Hey, now check HER ID!" jokes.

He'd better not start calling you "Mom" either...

I imagine that they do that just in case you end up on the smoke counter in an "emergency situation" someday

I love it ^_^ That's how I think of being carded, anyway.

The cigarette issue wouldn't work anyway because, just like in the government, you only have certain levels of clearance. Cigarettes require a whole new level. (Gives you the power to do refunds and such, but not to do other supervising priveliages)
