I never once was asked for ID when I was 18. I get it all the time now. The world changes, it's not the same country, with the same attitude toward alcohol.Big deal.

I was asked for id when I went to a bar in Detroit with a few other 'apostates' back in 2003. I was 45 at the time. When I held up my id a photo was taken from a darkened area to my left.

How about a verbal request for ID(proof of age).... (this is quite flattering so say the least ) when you are over 50 years old...
like my wife was this year ! this ...or rather !!!! My wife can pass for 21 or so at over 50 years old

My friend John (who works as my property maintenance man) used to work in a major liquor store here in Dallas.
Although he was usually careful to check ID, one Sat. night when they were very busy he let slip a sale to a couple of girls who were pretty close to the appearance of being underage.
Sure enough - it was a sting operation by the police.
John ended up with a class E felony on his record and of course lost his job.

That is one of the most assinine things I have heard of but it wouldn't surprise me if it came into effect due to some young people declaring age discrimination

I'm 57, when I go to buy beer at Winn Dixie, they either ask for my ID,
or they call the manager over to see if I am old enough to buy beer.

That is scary to have ones driver license scanned by a business.
I would avoid that business if at all possible.

Last year, at the age of 56, I had the unnerving experience of being asked for the first time by a store clerk, "Would you like the senior discount?"
A month or so after that, my wife and I were driving to VA and stopped along the way to buy a bottle of wine. I got carded.
Somehow, that made me feel a whole lot better.

Neon after a while you will enjoy flashing out that "Senior Discount".. Gimmee a discount NOW!
And I agree with Bumble bee..I would be leary of giving anyone my personal ID to put in a machine, especially anything with my SS number on it...ID theft is on the rise especially for Seniors!
