Im 24 turning 25 and was asked for id when buying cigarettes?

[Anonymous]

how embarrassing

[WindAtMyBack]

Get used to it. I've been asked for ID for alcohol when I was in my late 50s. Some places ask everyone no matter how old they look. Other places don't take chances and ask anyone who looks under 40 - keeping in mind that someone in their 50s or even 60s can look under 40.

The last time I got asked was just a few years ago. Although that time I had my back to her and she couldn't see me well.

I think its now required to ask anyone that isn't old, because of these vaping situations with the all these minors smoking, so I think the laws might have gotten stricter with the ID-ing so I think anyone from 18 to maybe 30 might get ID-ed, you are 25, this means you look younger, it might not be a good thing now but when you are older it might come in handy

I was once at a bar with a 24 year old friend from church when I was 32 and they asked me for ID but did not ask my friend for I. D. And when I went on vacation with my parents at 30, they all thought I was 15 years old and asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.

I’m 20 turning 21 and I was asked for ID when buying energy drink at a store where the age limit is 15🤡

[MTC29]

Corporate sets policy, not the clerks. I bought a couple of bottles of wine today and had to show my ID. Actually, at my age it's kind of fun!

In the meantime, quit smoking! It's a nasty habit for young women.

[MrCommodore]

Its cool, enjoy compliments like that, itsnot a negative.

Don't take it personal. A lot of places have a policy that if the person looks under 40 they ID them. Because the fine when I last checked was 900 bucks. And if they get caught more than once in a 6 month period can lose their tobacco license. If I waS business owner I'd be checking everyone's ID that didn't have a walker.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

There was one woman down at our local Family Dollar who would ask all people for their Photo ID so anything nowadays is possible that is one thing I always keep my Photo ID up to date cause anything is possible and people are crazy.

[Dinklex3]

They're supposed to ask.
I was asked for my ID when buying sudafed the other day, Lol.
It's a requirement.

[IAMNathanael]

I'd be glad if I were you. Keep up that habit and in a few more years and you'll look 35 buying cigarettes.

[Massageman]

Stores in our town have signs that say either. A. you will be carded it you appear under 38-40-45 years old (varies from store to store. B. You will be carded regardless of age. Take it as a compliment.

[Tamera952]

Why embarrassing? How silly, ... I still get carded for cigs. I love it, I think of it as flattering.

[Julie_TS]

Gosh, I'd be less worried about the whole ID situation and more worried about trying to quit smoking.

[horatiohornblower]

A lot of places always ID. No matter how old you look. Some places have rules like if someone looks under 30 or 40. They will ID you.

[England4eva]

Huge compliment. Being young is a short lived honour. We all grow up too fast. Enjoy every second of being asked for I. d

[Anonymous]

So we have a legal law here that anyone who looks under 25 must be asked for ID geez most people would happy being asked for ID they would take it as a compliment

[MrOracle]

I'm 51 and I still get carded occasionally. It's a thing that happens.

[TwinTonyz]

1) How is that embarrassing?
2) Is this even a question?

[Baredog69]

It's the law or policy to check id's no matter what the age Cigarettes or alcohol. I get carded at 50yrs old. It's not personal.

[Ms_Vanderquack]

Embarrassing that you guy cigarettes? Then stop buying them.

[Likes2drive]

Maybe you have a younger look to you, they usually ID up to 26 just to be sure because sometimes you can’t tell, but it’s still a compliment in an indirect way

[Anonymous]

When you're older, you'll be glad people think you're younger than you are! lol But one of my best friends was well into his 30's and still got asked id so you're not alone :)

[Opinion Owner]

And it's their job, nothing to be embarrassed about or over.

[bolverk]

Easy solution for the embarrassment - Stop smoking!
The cessation aids would probably be cheaper than the Cigarettes.

[Mark987]

Embarrassing? that is a huge compliment, means you still look young. I got carded at 30 lol I loved it

[CuriousMufuxka]

I agree. Well not on the embarrassing part, but on the check everyone shit. I'm (ugh) approaching 43 and still get carded. Never take it for looking young lol, it's just become protocol.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Only thing embarrasing about that is the fact that you smoke.

[ewok737]

I had this happen when I was 31, I was asked for an ID when buying a six pack of beer at 230 AM.
I asked the cashier where her guide dog was !!!

[DaveToo]

Don't buy cigarettes. No more embarrassment and you get to live longer.

[Jamie05rhs]

That's not embarrassing. They have to ask everyone who looks to be under 40.

[jasco]

you may look younger so yea thats not actually embarrassing, its just that you look younger

[najekim]

Look at my age and I still have to show ID when buying a pack in a grocery store or Walmart.

[nawtee_me]

They are just doing their job. I am 64 and was asked for mine and I said thank you...

[loves2learn]

I’m 38 and get carded. It’s a compliment.

[mark000h]

Rite Aid asks you up to 40.

[doopayo]

They’re legally supposed to ask for ID

[doopayo]

One time my cousin got in trouble at a conscience store for not doing it by an undercover cop

[dustybiker]

I’m 43 and still get carded. Highest compliment.

[FreyaRed]

See it as a compliment

[exitseven]

I would think that would be a good thing.

[grierwrange]

Are you embarrassed to look young?

[Twalli]

You could see it as a compliment

[SnakeBoop]

[Jmmmfi4]

Smoking is nasty as hell

[lycanthrope3]
