The age of AARP consumers

We are tired of being asked for ID in restaurants. This is nothing short of harassment, and is very insulting. Any server that can not tell the difference between any one 21 and under compared to 55 and over is in the wrong business.
I do hear by declair we start telling servers if i have to show my ID you forfit your tip money.
Repost on fake book and other social media. We could quickly put a stop to this practice.

I have never seen a server ask to see a senior ID. In fact, I have experienced servers giving us the discount without our even asking for it.

@DrWatson my husband and I have been asked many times in certain chain restaurants where it has been iron-clad corporate policy that all are asked. Hub has argued with the server, argued with the manager, made a scene and refused to ever return to the restaurant. The poor server is in the middle; her job is on the line and she has no control over the corporate policy.

@Poppies I certainly would never be mad at the server.

@DrWatson Hub figures he needs to make his point to make the message clear that he is not okay with living in a "police state" where 80-year-old men are expected to show an ID to have a beer
