44 ... have been fake-carded at Trader Joe's frequently. I feel their business model requires convincing aging MILF wannabes the hot bagger dude is into them.

Was genuinely carded recently at a restaurant in dim light, wearing.a turtleneck, probably the last time.in my lifetime.

Not really

I frankly think it has to do with the weight I've gained. Two years ago I was in my late twenties and I was carded all the time. I'm still in my late twenties but have since had a baby: sleeplessness and tubbiness do not give one that "youthful glow."

Only at World Market, and they also card everybody. DH and I are in our early forties, and each time either of us picks up a bottle of wine at a nearby World Market they ask to see an ID.
What gives?

Pretty stupid question, like others have said, all resturants and stores are required to card anyone 40 or younger. Stop thinking you look like a 20 year old, you just act like one.

yes. almost 40

25 I've been refused entrance to rated r movies because I didn't have my wallet.

Hope it stays that way!

Yes. I'm 36 (almost 37) and it annoys the crap out of me because I have left my purse at home when I go out with H and have been refused service. Hell, I was with H and kids (14 and 11) last weekend and didn't have my idea and the distress wouldnt serve me even after I e plain that in order to be under 21 and have a 14 year old, I would have had to give birth at 7.

Interesting but they never card my husband.
