I was at a Fisher Cats game in Manchester last year as my wife's nephew was playing for the opposing team. I decided that a nice cold brewski would be really nice so I went up to the concession stand. A very cute young girl asked to see my ID ( I am 64 ). I pulled out my wallet and showed it to her....certain that she was flirting with me.
She then told me that I had to take it out of my wallet so she could see both sides. At that point, I cancelled my beer order and ordered 2 Diet Cokes.
I can certainly appreciate the responsibility that bartenders have determining or trying to determine somebody's age, especially if they are about 30 or under. But in my case, I think the "rule" can be a little rediculous and totally unnecessary.
Did I say that she was real cute?
