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 just realized that when I responded for the first time, I read this post too hastily and thought you were talking about being old enough for the senior discount!. Sorry.

Yes, I do sometimes get IDed in liquor stores where it is the policy to ID everyone.

Having known people who have worked in places like that, I think I understand why they do it. If it is "up to the discretion" of the cashier to check ID's, then there will always be arguments about alleged discrimination and profiling, and those can get very unpleasant. So a draconian policy of checking everyone is a way to avoid all of that.

And speaking for myself, I really don't mind showing an ID.

@DrWatson My mom refuses to show ID. She usually does not carry her license around since I am the one driving.
