I have had only one incident (outside of bars and clubs) where I have been asked to prove my age. I was doing a midnight shop and spotted Bailey's going for cheap, so I stuck in my trolley. The cashier stopped me at the till and asked how old I was. I had been joking around and talking to my friends right up until that moment, so she caught me off guard. What was even funnier though, was that for the past few years, I'd stopped counting my age (I'm still 21! :P). So when she asked me, I had to stop and think about it.
My hesitance made for a bad answer. She didn't believe me. So she asked for ID. Because I hadn't planned to buy any alcohol, I didn't bring any photo ID with my birthdate on it. Well, I was prepared to put the Bailey's back because I didn't need it. It was an impulse buy. We had a little conversation going, but eventually she let me have my Bailey's, but reminded me she was just doing her job, which was fair enough.
Now the whole IDing people for alcohol, cigarettes, knives, cleaning products, etc is getting out of hand. A lady was recently stopped for buying a 5-pack of teaspoons! Honestly. TEASPOONS! Read here.
What did she think the lady was going to do? Brandish her teaspoon as a a weapon unless she got her morning coffee? Grow a brain.
