Would you be ticked off if a restaurant refused to serve you a cocktail for no ID?

[Anonymous]

Happened to my husband and I last night. No kids. Beachfront restaurant. I didn’t want to carry my purse and we were getting to-go food. While on the way, husband recommends a classic margarita. Great idea and I actually look forward to it. Female bartender who was probably just as old as us cards me! Implying we just graduated from high school two years ago? Our own kids are in middle and high school. She refuses to serve me, then when she goes to the back to get our food loudly tells the other bartender I don’t have ID and to not serve me alcohol.

They could lose their liquor license. Take it as a compliment.

No, it’s what they are supposed to do.

Of course I wouldn't be ticked off. No ID, no alcohol. It's not a hard concept OP, and it's YOUR own fault.

It is quite literally the law.

We’ve been in the same restaurant and not been carded. Even the elderly couple next to us quipped they weren’t carded.

That is not true. There are no such thing as stings with 40-something people, who ordered $100 in takeout no less. Stings are teenagers.

Get over yourself and the “rules don’t apply to me” mentality.

To be more specific, it’s a solo teen and the teen comes to the bar and tries to order a single drink. It’s not covert Langley assets with a big production.

+100

OP, you know the rules. You're not entitled to alcohol. Are you an alcoholic?

+1 Your ID could have been slipped into your pockets, or your husband’s. Not carrying a purse isn’t an excuse.

Still the law, OP. Bring your ID next time.

It's the law, OP. This is on you.

If you didn’t want to take a purse, why didn’t you give DH your drivers license to put in his wallet?

I am with you OP.

At least I have stopped being carded in my 60s.
