   Buying bags of tortilla chips and only tortilla chips from the liquor store because it's the only place around here that stocks them.
   Cashier: "need to see your ID"
   *hand them my wallet*
   Cashier: "no you need to take it out I need to scan the back of it"
   Me: "For tortilla chips."
   Cashier: "you have to be 21 just to be in the store"

   Possibly you should have thought of that when I walked in here and started browsing for tortilla chips?

     Here's the thing, I'm going to try to learn from this and generalize, and then next time I'm going to give another cashier my ID when I'm buying only tortilla chips from the liquor store, and they're going to say something like "you don't need that these are tortilla chips"

     @zinnia Also does this mean you look like you might be under 21 or do they card everybody?

     (My aunt is still angry decades later that she was carded at 26 while my 15-year-old step dad next to her was not (minimum age for buying alcohol is 16))

     @GreenSkyOverMe @zinnia I have an Aunt who consistently got carded into her 60s. She has a Finnish Asian looking face that is still perfectly smooth.
