I work a couple of nights a week at a liquor store to make a little extra cash on top of my main job. Our policy is that everybody in your party and in your car has to show an ID, and we ID anybody who looks under 35. We turn people away pretty regularly due to their friends not having IDs.

Tonight two girls came in. I said hello to them and they ignored me, and then they brought up a bottle of tequila. They looked young so I asked for both of their IDs. One of them gave me her ID and she was all set, but the other said she left it at home. They both immediately told me she was 23, but I told her I still had to see her ID. Her friend asked if she could go outside and then she could buy it, but unfortunately I couldn’t since she had already come in. They left after that.

About 15 minutes later the girl who showed me her ID came back with another guy. They brought up the same bottle and I told her that I couldn’t sell to them because of her friend from before. They argued and said that they dropped her off at home so she’s no longer part of their party (which made no sense because if they brought her home then she could’ve just brought her ID back, assuming she’s 23 like she claimed). I told them I couldn’t and they kept arguing. I stood my ground and they asked for a manager, who told them the exact same thing. They finally left.

Just bring your ID or leave your underage friends at home. I’m not going to risk my job because you didn’t bring your ID. And no, a photo of your ID does not count.
