I'm getting old.
The cashier at the gas station told me "Nah, you're good. I don't need to see your ID" when I was buying some hooch.

I'm getting old.
I'm 31 and also fat and gay.
Y'all are having sex and being happy?
The fact I was buying alcohol at a gas station should let you know I'm not lmao.
Im finally getting to a point that folks recognize im old. It helps that I have a lot of white now and many men dye their hair to look younger. Before, my hippie look seemed to make everyone think I was younger than I was.
I never really got carded, even when underage.
One time, coming through the line at a Target, the cashier said he needed to see my ID. I was maybe 45 I think, and was not buying alcohol so was extremely confused. I said "why?" And he said "Fireworks."
I was buying those sparkler sticks for my little kids - he had to scan my ID to prove I was over 18 so that I could buy something I was about to legally hand to a 5 year old.
Gas stations here require an ID to be scanned in order to check out. Super embarrassing when I completely forgot my license expired.
Though this was before the bullshit with ICE kicked off. Don't go anywhere without a passport (my license isn't REAL ID) anymore.
