This is a perfect example of one of the elements in the discussion in your fragmentation of history thread. Good Lord, really? Just get out.
A local convenience store was busted after selling cigarettes to a 17 year old with a full beard. Regardless of what I think of that form of enforcement, the store instituted a policy of everyone gets asked for a state identification regardless of apparent age. If you're 90 you gotta show the card to buy your Camels. The reactions I have witnessed are ridiculous. Screaming, name calling, etc. The clerks have told me they have been threatened with being beaten. People that behave in such a way deserve to be tasered by the minimum wage clerk who just wants to go home.
I remember at age 42 being asked to show ID by a woman when buying a bottle of wine. Rather than be upset, I simply handed it to her and said, "You thing that I'm under 21? I think that I'm in love with you.." We both laughed.
Funny how one man's insult is another's flattery, isn't it?
