Former Retail Worker Here: I got cussed out by a lot of senior citizens who thought I was fucking with them when I asked to see ID. I absolutely wasn't, the machine would not let me process a sale of alcohol unless I scanned in the ID. I didn't have a choice.

Moving to the UK I have not been carded once. I look young for nearly 40, if I say so myself. It's much more civilised.

My trans mom is visiting right now. We're livid about it. This was a conversation about getting carded for beer - if I'm not going to just go insane in this nightmare world you'll have to allow for a little compartmentalisation.
