[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on stare or local law, but generally the law forbids serving minors, and carding is a business policy to make sure you don't violate that law. If they didn't card a 40 year old, and ABC were standing right there, they would not have been in trouble because they did not serve a minor.[/quote]

This.  I am amazed at the combination of ignorance and righteousness of the most PP.  The law is about serving minors, not carding.[/quote]

Folks are piling on and using disinformation to do so because this forum is full of bitter hoi polloi who like to see a presumably UMC Karen get knocked down a notch.[/quote]
It’s likely misinformation, not disinformation, people make erroneous claims about the law all the time on DCUM without realizing it. But it’s likely the rule of the restaurant— if you owned a restaurant, wouldn’t you make it a blanket rule to check all id’s rather than rely on the discretion and judgment of the bartenders, some of whom may be 21 themselves. It’s the only thing that will protect you from the law about not serving minors, and better to lose the occasional sale from people like OP rather than leave it up to bartenders to decide who does and does not need an id.[/quote]

This.  The house rule is likely that everyone gets carded, or everyone that looks under 50 or whatever.  Perhaps they had a recent incident of serving a minor and they're being extra careful.  Regardless, the bartender may be risking her job if she served someone without checking IDs.  Tough to blame her for that, unless you're OP, I guess.  [/quote]
