Work: Nice try

Nice try

By anonymous - 29/06/2010 02:21 - United States

Today, a cute thirty-ish chick walked into the bar I work in. I asked her for her license to make her feel young. She didn't have her license on her and started yelling about how stupid it was to even ask, when she obviously was old enough to drink. She then got up and left. FML

Today, I went to the bar to celebrate my friend's birthday party. I gave the bouncer my ID and he kicked me out, saying that I should at least use an ID card with the correct gender. I'm 22 and female, he thought I was an underage boy. FML

Today, while buying drinks, the cashier immediately refused me and said, “Don’t even bother showing me your ID, you’re obviously 12." I’m 31. FML

Today, I went to buy some beer using my fake ID, when the cute cashier and I started flirting. When he asked me how old I was, I said without thinking, "Nineteen." FML

Today, I was fired for not asking a senior citizen for proof that he was over 21 and legally allowed to purchase alcohol. When I told my manager he was clearly over 21, he replied, "But what if he WASN'T?" FML

Sobering

Today, I went to a bar to celebrate my 26th birthday. I got ripped off by the bartender all night because she secretly gave me non-alcoholic versions of my drinks. Apparently I look like I'm 16, so she thought my ID was fake. Happy birthday to me. FML

Close shave

By Gears - 29/04/2019 16:00

Today, I had dinner at a local fast-food joint. There's an employee there that I usually talk to and flirt with, so I thought maybe it was time to ask for her number. After a small conversation and almost getting to the point, she told me, "I'm 17." I'm 23. FML

Today, a customer at the bar I work at yelled at me for calling her "Ma'am." I asked what she'd prefer, and she gave me her name. When I called her by her name, she yelled at me for not calling her "Ma'am." FML

She probably doesn't want you to know her age, much like every woman on this planet. FYL and YKDI

I'm a bartender, and people must have their ID's on them while in our bar no matter what age, most times people are respectful, but occasionally get people complaining because they dont have their ID's or they are old, either way, not your fault for her not having her ID. Sucks that she had to react that way though.

In a lot of places, though most people don't realize this, it's actually illegal to be in a bar ordering a drink without proper identification. So yes, it was definitely her fault for not having her ID. I hope she got pulled over without it on the way home.

Exactly. Most places, it's not legal to just let someone by on looking old enough and anyone could be an inspector who could fine your restaurant/company. Not to mention, you'd lose your job.

It's not illegal to not have your ID on you as long as you're not doing anything that requires it. Drinking is one of those things. I work in retail and I card people all the time. Sometimes people get mad when I card them and then they either don't have it or they're using someone else's credit card, but what they don't understand is I could card them for using their credit card on a $5 purchase if I want. Legally, you need photo ID to use a credit card. Same thing applies to bars. You need photo ID and you need to be 21+ years old (in the US). Otherwise there's no reason for you to be serving them alcohol.
