    Check out lady totally made my day

    So I decided to treat myself today to True Blood season 5. Down here in Oz land it is rated R18+. It is, however, available in normal stores.

    Me: durr
    COL: Check out lady

    Got stuck behind a phone talker that doesn't even acknowledge the COL.

    COL: scans my other stuff, then has to take the DVD out of the security box/case. Scans it then looks up at me when the register dings. Mmm how old are you?
    Me: I'm 28.
    COL: Oh! Well I thought you were only 20, I don't need to see ID then.
    Me: You just made my day! Thanks.

    At least she had a smile on her face after I left.


    Side note: I got ID'd when I purchased season 4. Poor guy nearly had a heart attack when he saw my age.

    Did something similar to a customer when she bought cigarettes at our store. To me, honest to god, she looked like and sounded like a teenager. When I asked for her id, she actually got a surprised look on her face and said, 'Wow, I haven't been ided in years. I think you just made my day." I was confused until I saw her date of birth: she was well into her mid 30's! I told her honestly that she looked younger than I did and I'm only 22 and she left smiling big. Apparently, I am not that good at determining age, but I can only hope that I age as well as some of the women who have gone through my lines.
    Just because they serve you, doesn't mean they like you. And just because they smile and act polite doesn't mean they aren't planning to destroy you.

      Same here. I once IDed a woman who turned out to be in her 40s. She was beaming and said, "I can't wait to tell my husband!"

      Just goes to show. People in their early 20s piss and moan about being carded. People over 30 are overjoyed about it.
      I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

        Hey, I'm 22 and don't whine about being carded! (Except for the one time I missed the bus trying to buy some super glue and had to argue with the cashier about how old I was, when my id clearly stated I was old enough to buy superglue.) Although, I was really sad when nearing my 20th birthday the waitress at Applebee's gave me a children's menu. And then I was even sadder when she found out how old I was and took away my crayons.

          I carded a woman who was old enough to be my mother for her alcohol - our rule is if you look under 30 and she looked nowhere near that. She practically skipped away while teasing her son about how she looked his age. I like carding people like that
