I’ve been asked a few times but even in my early 20s it was rare to be asked for my ID.
29 🫠
Around 34 years old when I’d put on some weight and my face finally aged.
I’m 40ish. Hasn’t happened yet outside of the cashiers at my home grocery who know me.
- I look older than I am. Didn’t start buying the stuff until I was 21 and never been asked for my id to buy it. But I have been asked when buying cigarettes so make that make sense.
Pretty much always still am.
Cashiers used to be able to use their judgement and not ask for ID if the customer appeared to be older than 27. But I guess there was some abuse of that, so now they card you even if you’re clearly 100. The ABC (alcoholic beverage commission) will even sometimes do stings to see if the cashier asks for ID, and stores can even lose their license to sell alcoholic beverages if they get caught.
I always pull it out and stick it on top of the alcohol so they never have an opportunity not to ask. They can get in trouble for not checking id (or they can in my state) so its kinda a polite thing to do.
Most restaurants stopped asking when I was around 30, but many stores have id readers now and the computer forces them to scan every restricted sale.
A lot of places ask anyone and everyone to provide ID which I don’t think was the case in years past. My wife and I are 40 and we still get carded frequently and I don’t think it’s because we look underage.
They never really started :(
Depends on the place. My go-to grocery store always asks. Convenience stores don’t.
They still ask.
At my job the computer won’t let me finish the transaction until I type in the customer’s birthday. I assumed they were all like that.
Cashiers still ask me, but restaurants and bars have not asked me, even when I was just 22.
Like 32
I’m albino and have had facial hair since I was 13. I think I got asked a few times over the years since turning 21, but it was always rare.
I haven’t gotten carded since I was about 35. I have visibly graying hair, a receding hairline, and graying stubble.
