aziraphalesshop took me to Dave & Buster's for my first time the other night. The little hostess girl checked his ID, then said "You have to be twenty five to bring her in here." She didn't even bother to ask for my ID, she just assumed I was under age. I showed her my ID as Rich said "She's twenty one." She said "Oh, ok." Not even an apology.
Now, I know I look younger than I actually am. I have come to terms with this, and I'm fine with it. It's not like I can do anything about it anyway. However, it's this girl's job to check ID's. What if I was eighteen, but I looked twenty six? I have a friend who's a make up artist. He can make anyone look any age.
The thing that pissed me off more than her inncorrect assumption was that she didn't even bother to apologize. Rude people bother me.

Thats my impression. I rather wish manners were stressed more nowadays.

LIke a cashier being pleasant and helping you out because (when you are an old coot like myself) you just can't quite figure out how to use you bank card.
I hope it swings back the other way soon

Re: Yeah...
Date: 2004-04-29 04:16 pm (UTC)Someone in a Hallmark store wanted to know if you sell greeting cards?
LOL That can be aggravating, but its kinda funny.

the usual irrelevant thoughts
Date: 2004-04-29 02:39 am (UTC)Also, since you look like you're in your teens, you and a 25 year old would be kind of suspicious. I think that's a crime in some places. Thirty-five, okay maybe he'd be old enough to be your dad, but 25?
