So I ordered a bottle of wine with my grocery delivery…
And of course they tell you to have someone over 21 prepared to show id when the delivery person arrives. So the guy knocked on the door to my flat, left the delivery, and when I opened the door he was headed down the stairs. He looked at me, nodded and said, "over 21 !" I said (in jest) "But, but—you didn’t check my id !” He chuckled as he went out the front door. "It’s all good."
Gosh, It still feels good to get asked for my ID when I purchase certain items. But it annoys me when they look at me when I smile at them as I dig out my license and they make some comment like "It's store policy". Jesus can;t they just let me have that small moment happiness? 😭
@TrashCat I hate it. At 42 years old I just want to pay for booze and smokes and get out. Not playing thus stupid game where I have tl dig in my wallet.
lol, I bought some wine for a friend as a present couple weeks ago and sign at register said We I.D EVERYONE. Everyone was capitalized. They didn't card me. So i cleared my throat and pointed at it. He smiled and said naw. You're over 21. All good.
LMAO! I refuse to respond with some tired cliche. I was carded recently at a "Grocery outlet" I blushed at such blatant flattery, feeling like one HOT number I thanked the clerk most sincerely, she shrugged and said, " I knew you are obviously an elder, it's just corporate policy" A bit bust to my balloon too.
I'm not one to brag but we BOTH know we're elder hotties and can't help being this cute.l 😜
@DrWatson Round here, people over 60 get free bus travel. They have a card with photo ID they show the driver. One lady, who was clearly over 60, wasn't sure whether to be annoyed or flattered that the driver wouldn't let her on because she'd left her card at home 😆😆
We went to a restaurant recently that cards everyone. My wife ordered a beer and when the waiter asked for ID she looked at him incredulously, pulled it out, held it in front of his face and literally yelled "1968!!!!"
@sciguy18 Yeah, perhaps. It was my first time ordering alcohol with it. The funny thing is, a few years ago they accidentally left part of someone else’s order—which included ten bottles of wine. They didn’t even ring my doorbell, just left it by my door. When I called about it, they said, I could keep it, with their compliments. I gave a lot of it away.
