Officially an old lady

[sethrak]

I just got back from Albertson's to get those last minute groceries I spoke of in my last update.

Among other things, I bought a bottle of strawberry flavored white zinfandel. I enjoy it every once in a while, and this weekend I get three days in a row off.

I automatically got out my ID along with my Albertson's Saver card. I don't buy alcohol often. But I always get carded. Always. I walk in the door, and from across the room I get a meaningful look from the bartender. (Not a flirty kinda meaningful look, either, Dav-chan, so hush.) Store clerks take one look at me carrying any kind of alcoholic beverage and ask for the card before I eevn put the stuff on the counter. Heck, a few times I've had waitstaff ask for my card even when I wasn't planning to buy alcohol, just because the rest of my party was drinking, before I could even say I wanted soda. Even when the others were fairly obviously of age. I have a baby face, and I kinda enjoy it.

But the clerk never even glanced at it.... -_-;;;;

This wouldn't get me quite so much if the sign facing the customers didn't say "If you are so fortunate as to appear to be under 30, you must show ID"

So, more than just looking over 21, I look over thirty!!!!!!!

Pardon me while I go crawl into my Sethra House.....

Don't take it so bad. There's a lot of shitty things I'm supposed to check out/say as a cashier, and half of them I don't even give the slightest fuck about. You might be surprised how apathetic a lot of clerks really are.

Then again, maybe not. ^_^
