I am gifted with the pleasure of getting ID checked for pretty much everything that warrants a person's ID to be checked (M rated games, Lotto tickets, etc). It really ticks me off when cashiers make some snobby ass remark like "are you sure you're (enter minimum age here) buddy?" or "You don't look like you're old enough to buy (enter product here) bud." Yes I look young and would appriciate it if you treat me like any normal customer. If you need to see my ID, just ask for it rather than rudly commenting at the fact that I look like I'm 14 (I am 18).

The same happens to most of my friends and since now we're all 20+ it really seems to get to them

I'm 22, I look 16, maybe 17 on a GOOD day.

It used to bother me, not so much anymore, I actually kinda like it. I just keep my ID out when I go to buy games, see movies, ect. Don't let it bother you. People spend hundreds, even thousands to look younger. Just keep that in mind.

3PT wrote You don't look like you're old enough to buy


Yeah that annoyed me years ago when I wanted to buy a GTA5 game at that time but they said I wasn't older enough due to the fact I didn't have much facial hair so I didn't look "older" that I was back then. I was 18 back then btw.. The amount of disrespect is unreal when they think you're underage. Tehy tend to treat you like crap and it's annoying.

This used to happen to me back in the day, but i regularly go to the same places when it comes to buying alcohol or lotto tickets that they know who i am and do not card me anymore. I'm not sure why people see belittling someone or even trying to makes them seem bigger. It doesn't.
