I was coming out of WALMART with a case of O’Douls and the clerk - a 20 something White Guy - asked for my ID, I naturally assumed it was because I don’t autograph credit cards but I was swiping..so when I asked why, he replied ‘we check EVERYONE when alcohol is involved...I said that is NON ALCOHOL beer’, and I won’t reveal my age BUT my first FICA withholding was 1953 ... so my retort when asked is “You have got to be working for tips”, I realize that I am not the person I see in the mirror every morning but have been told enough that I look no where near my age I am starting to believe it....
see my #21 above..
Geez..remember the days of 3.2 beer?
I've had the same thing happen to me at the Walmart self-check lines. Apparently, it's incorrectly coded as alcohol, so the system freezes until the attendant checks your age. I've asked them a few times why this is so since anyone can buy no-alcohol beer and the only response I've gotten in reply is "I don't know."
