When I was in the US aged seventeen, a shop wouldn't let my father buy beer because they knew it was for me.
Also, apparently there is no discretion on the application of the minimum drinking age in restaurants.
Yeah one time I went into a liquor store with my father and brother, who is under 21. They were like "If he touches anything we aren't allowed to sell to you."
It was a little weird. Most places aren't quite that bad, but yeah overall they're super srs bsns about the drinking age here.
I went to the grocery store with my wife, who I am married to, and along with our full compliment of groceries we bought a bottle of wine. As I was the one in the line and paying, I showed my ID (I am 30). Then the cashier asked for my wife's (She is 26). She responded "I'm his wife", but the cashier flat out refused to sell it to us unless my wife showed ID too.
Do you look really young or do they ID just about everyone?
They have those stupid "if you're not using a cane and telling kids to get off your lawn we card you" signs up (actually I think it says if you look under 40 but whatever). But I've bought groceries with Nickie for 4 years now and it's the first time they demanded to see her ID along with mine, when I was paying.

Yeah either of those two actions can cost the place its liquor license. We take the drinking age seriously over here, for the most part its enforced universally though.
That's what I said originally. Did you interpret my original post as being sarcastic?
When I was a wee lad, I knew every bar and liquor store in the area that didn't card. Hell I wasn't ever actually carded till I was 23 and that was for just being in a bar.
It's hard for me to justify fast food with the lunch specials places have these days.
I can get a salad and half sandwich and a mound of fries from an actual restaurant for around the same price I can get a combo from Carls Jr.
Fast food has become solely a matter of convenience or "I am drunk and it is midnight" type thing for me.
Dolla menu, yo
Heh, what do you think I order off of when I am drunk? Drunk runs to Carls Jr is "Okay, everyone empty their pockets, for every dollar we've got were getting a bacon ranch burger."
In Seattle I don't think I was ever ID'd when ordering a beer during a meal, or at least most of the times I wasn't.
I'm not used to that.
I think it was the company you were in for the most part. I mean you may have had them questioning things, but with me and Chuck there? Yeah they knew you were old enough.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Dominos is utterly terrible. Pizza hut is meh. Papa Johns is alright, actually, and they've never started an argument over a request to make a pizza without the tomato sauce, whereas both of the others have.

I want to try dominoes since they supposedly fixed the suck, I like to give people a second chance to make things right. Well aside from adam sandler, he's still being drug behind my car for 50 first dates.

We are drunk so we forget to factor it in. Then we scrounge for change.

wow
is white pizza uncommon over there, or something
Uncommon enough that I was unfamiliar with the term until you mentioned it and I looked it up.
From the Dominos argument, it turns out that they can't make them because their pizza bases come individually wrapped with the sauce already applied.
So say you're 19, and you knock over a bottle of wine in a store accidentally, could they make you pay for it?
I don't think they usually make people pay for that kind of stuff. I knocked over some olive oil at Trader Joe's once, and they just told me to forget about it.

Yeah, because you broke a product?
It's not a product you can legally purchase though.
Yeah but your not buying it, you are paying them for destruction of property. Its like if you destroyed someones car, but you were 14, they could still make you pay for the car even though you could not legally own one.

At Trader Joe's I figured they'd knock some over too just so you don't feel bad.

You could own a car at 14, you just couldn't drive it.

I'm not used to that.
Restaurant pizza and fast food pizza are basically wildly different things these days.
I wouldn't really expect the one to resemble the other.
When I was a wee lad, I knew every bar and liquor store in the area that didn't card. Hell I wasn't ever actually carded till I was 23 and that was for just being in a bar.
You're 15. You eat what your parents provide you.

Yeah I figured that was part of it as well.

I would figure like something you'd get a sit down restaurant? Less factory made feel.

Like a place where I could get a pizza with good cheeses, shrimp and white sauce instead of tomato sauce if I wanted.
Don't tread on me!
Regrettably, I've never found one. If I did I'd use it constantly.
Pizza Express comes close, but there isn't one around here. There's one near my brother-in-law's place, but he lives in an affluent London suburb, so

it's p good, considering
I normally don't get carded, but having a beard like I've worn since I was 20 had always helped like that.
