You won't be saying "FML" if you were to accidentally kill yourself with those spoons.

Spoons can be super dangerous! A man was once killed, when another guy hit him in the back of the head with a dessert spoon.

You're right. They wouldn't be saying anything if they were to accidentally kill himself with those spoons.

Maybe the cashier thought you were cute and wanted your name :)

I'm a cashier, and people often stalk me too... That's why I cut of my last name from my name tag :) I see what you mean

Or you know not could be a rational thing like op used a credit card and policy dictates they match up ID with card.

That isn't a worldwide policy, especially if the credit card has chips and pins.

I meant it as the company policy dictates you show it, not worldwide or country wide or state wide. As far as I know it's completely optional worldwide.

I always check for I.D. if the credit card isn't signed. Could've been the case here.

This is exactly what i thought :p probably facebook'd her name or something afterwards.

Maybe cashier had heard that only over 18's should be spooning in bed.

cocaine measuring teaspoons I bet, that was very correct of the cashier

Did you also purchase a butane lighter?

Show it anyway

"Spooning" is serious business. It would've probably been advisable to also get condoms at the same time prevent unwanted pregnancy

I agree. Spooning is very serious. It's a gateway activity to forking.

But you should only do that with really "knife" girls

I'm almost 18 and look much younger. Some days I get my ID checked to get into rated R movies. Other days I get away with buying pool chemicals that you have to be 18 to buy without having to show ID. Teaspoons though? That's ridiculous.

A few days ago I got IDd buying an M rated video game. And I'm 21. I don't know how he thought I looked 16 or under. I think it just depends on the person who's there.
