      My total once came to $19.95 and the cashier jokingly said “good year”. I mentioned how it snowed a lot that year and caused the local middle school to collapse. I went on about how the town changed a lot since then.

      The cashier hesitated for a moment and said “I wasn’t born yet”. Suddenly, my hair all turned gray.

      That was about 10 years ago now

          Oh boy. Let me tell you. It was.

          Nothing like walking uphill to school in a blizzard, just to find out the school is closed, then having to walk uphill in a blizzard to get home.

    Lol. I got ID-ed at a winery once. It was in the fall so it was cold out and I was wearing a hat and jacket. I guess I have a young face? I pulled off my hat to show a full head of grey hair.

        The idea of a teenager dying their hair grey for this is hilarious. Especially for the times where it doesn’t work.

        I have seen kids with dyed gray hair but it never has that real gray hair look

        Can you lose a license for bad ID practices? I would’ve thought you’d have to sell to an actual minor to face consequences, no matter if the checking you did was good or not.

          Yes checking for ID is a requirement of your serving license/certificate, not doing it can cause you to lose your license. Trends are huge, in Canada you can get in trouble for not IDing people who look 40.

        Funny thing is it’s not even from the blockbuster near our house. I was about to head off to college but wanted to do a last minute movie marathon with the buddies before leaving town. We stopped at the nearest location but I couldn’t find my original card so they printed a replacement card. I think I left town the next day lol.
