That is wonderful, Thanks for sharing.
Not to be confused with antimassacres, which are useful in certain violent livingrooms.
In Michigan, stores used to be required to check IDs of people under 40. Damn near the day I turned 50, and was pleased to not have to be carded anymore, a new state law went into effect requiring ID checks on anyone under 50. WTAF? If I buy beer with Kidd Jr. tagging along, almost no one cards me, and it’s now a math test for cashiers: is this kid biologically possible if the mom is under 21? Since the answer to the math problem is currently 6, I’m finding that it’s almost always men who fail the test.
Road workers have to put antimacadams on their chairs.
That type of mustache is often called a “soup strainer” mustache. Thus I suggest the mustache blocking lip is redundant.
OTOH,
My understanding of the local rule of thumb was that anyone who looks under 35 gets carded, but some stores have a blanket “everyone gets carded, no matter how old you are” rule. This store isn’t one of them (my mother shops there and has never been carded, and I’m pretty sure I’ve bought real alcohol there before and not been carded), so it was the cashier being silly. Also requiring ID checks for non-alcoholic beverages is extremely silly, just because it looks like something that has alcohol in it. (Pretty much anything that was made with yeast has many times more alcohol in it - soy sauce, hot dog buns…)
When I do get carded, I whip out a state ID card so old, it would be well past drinking age (and is probably older than the person asking for the card). They’re always so amused/flummoxed by it, it doesn’t matter that it’s long expired.
Silly things I’ve been carded for:
- 1980s comedy movie DVDs (ok, it was R rated, but still…)
- water
Red nose and all! And thus… Total Recall.
What? That stuff kills thousands every year.
Pretty similar reason as for the non-alcoholic wine, actually… packaging.
Can’t imagine why that made me think of…
