A Special Message To EWs

[jackfaire]

Why are you so angry that they new you were old enough? It didn't hurt you nor did it hurt anybody else.

But it will when some kid that looks old enough goes in and buys him and his friends a bunch of beer because hey he looked old enough.

The point of his story was trying to make the company realize the position they were putting themselves in.

Hate IDing, I was glad security dealt with that at the Casino. I had someone flip out at me about how he had worked at the gas station and how I should call the AM because they were friends (The AM was and still is my best friend, I'm her Maid of honor at her wedding), this was at 3am. My reply to him was that I had never seen him before and therefore didn't know who he was, and that if he had worked there he would know that we can get in trouble for not IDing. And no I wasn't going to wake anyone up at 3am because he "needed" smokes.

*head desk slam*

I was trying to help.

Shocking I know.

Besides, how COULD they know I was old enough? Law is look 27 and under is to be carded. I was 21 years old by two months. No-one has magical xray vision to automatically know people age. If we did, none of this carding policies would be needed. Ever. Maybe it's different from where you are, but if a company fails a sting? That's huge fee here in Oregon. They also fire said person, then sue said person for money. They can also lose their alcohol licence.

Even better if they did lose that license, they cannot sell beer. Naturally that be the week or so you come in, and guess what ? Doesn't matter your old enough. You could be a million year old person, and your not getting any beer. You could go to another place. But doesn't make it any less a hassle.

All because one guy, didn't card someone.
