LOL that's hilarious. It was probably a dare. What's hilarious is the fact that it was actually successful. Great way to test if the clerks are really paying attention. Even the card itself looks like it came from an amusement park or something.

If you read the article, it wasn't a dare. It was a sting by a local government entity.

Europe? When I went to France and Spain I was never ID for alcohol. They were, however, very strict on IDing for cigarettes.

Nothing like Liberals trying to make shop keepers take responsibility for their kids. Next thing you know they're going to try and make retailers check before selling a kid an assault rifle at this rate. :/

Clerk might have not cared.
When I was 17 I could buy beer by showing my regular license. Clerk just wanted to act like he was checking.

That's the worst kind of lazy. It's 99% of the effort of checking without actually checking.

In some retail stores if you get caught once violating the ID policy you are fired.

If there were other people in the store, he wanted to look like he was legal.
He didn't care that I was underage.

Then that's even worse than lazy. That's contempt of the law and supplying a minor with restricted materials.:|

Judging by my own days as a teenager buying alcohol with a fake I.D. :

Most places card reasonably well and can't be fooled. The ones that don't become well-known among teens and that's where the underage kids go. I'm reckoning that 98% of the places that ID passed didn't card at all.

When carding a lot of places were just looking for a reaction, not an ID. Most kids without an ID or a bad fake would fumble around at that point, pretend to be looking for the ID, mumble something about losing it, and leave. If a person confidently produced a laminated card of the right size and shape the person checking would not even glance at it. Just the act of producing it without fear was often enough to convince the checker that it was legit. That accounts for the other 2%.

There were times I had a pretty decent fake and times when I had a truly laughable fake that was barely one step above having a cartoon of Bobby Hill. The bad fakes worked about as often as the good ones did.

Do you really think the clerk had a choice?

It was either beer or Old's basement.

On the flip side of this I was asked for ID once and produced my passport but the cashier did not believe I was 18 so refused to serve me.

On a different occasion I was in a supermarket getting some drinks for a party with my GF and even though I was old enough to purchase alcohol and I had my ID they refused to serve me because my GF did not have any ID with her. I went back to the car and my dad asked us to show him what we wanted and he would get it for us so he did that and the security guard came over as we were leaving the store and had a go at him to which my dad told them to fuck off and he never went back to that store again.

its been like this for decades, everyone present when you are buying has to be 21 or they wont sell it to you

In some retail stores if you get caught twice violating the ID policy you are fired.

In some retail stores if you get caught three times violating the ID policy you are fired.
