Okay, first of all, in some states like Tennessee, most restaurants use the inferior knowledge of the citizens to make them think that all diners must be carded when ordering beer. However, how does that make people over the age of 50 feel? Unless the waiter or waitress is completely blind as a bat, then you can tell they are over the age of 21. You can tell they are old enough to drink. So, do you think carding them makes them feel younger, no it tends to piss them off.
My dad, when he goes into restaurants, he’ll order a beer. If the waiter/waitress ask to see ID, he will change it to a water. To him, that is a sign of disrespect. On the night of March 24th 2008, I wasn’t in the mood to hear him go at it with the waitress, who for her pour soul had probably never had to put up with a cranky old bastard like him. He started his dead, and the waitress wondered if she had done something wrong. He was about to tell her all sorts of stuff about how it was it was an insult, blah blah blah. However, I stopped him and out assholed the old asshole.
I mean, if her management told her to do that, DO NOT BLAME THE WAITRESS! Tell them that you want to talk to the manager. When the manager gets there, give him or her the crap you were going to give the waitress. The waitress must follow the rules. The manager can make the decision, because you are older, that you don’t have to be carded. This way, you can bitch at who needs it, and the poor waitress can have a decent night, instead of a night of bad thoughts because of some seventy year old jackass. Sorry dad, but you sir are an asshole.
