Today, I went to buy some Ibuprofen and got asked for ID. You have to be over 16 to buy it. I'm 25. FML

Darling, that's a good thing. I know you want to look older and mature, but when you're 59, youll be ecstatic you look young.

How is this an fml. be grateful for your youthful looks. you'll appreciate them when you are 40!

Some stores require their cashiers to ID every single time they need a birth date for something like alcohol, cigarettes, meds, even chemical products like spray paint. Don't blame the cashier for company policy.

At the store I work at, the cashiers have to ID everybody for an age-restricted product because the computer won't put the purchase through until the ID is either scanned or a birth date is entered. It could be just the company policy, and isn't the cashier's fault.
