This is a little different, but a couple of summers ago--no more than two--I got carded while buying some beer in the grocery store. I was in my fifties! I was with my 25-plus-year-old son! I couldn't believe it. I don't think I ever got carded even when I was younger. I can't remember a time. I thought the person was kidding, and I started laughing. She looked stern and said, "no really, let me see it." I said, "You are going to be so embarrassed." We had a good laugh when she saw how old I was and I walked over a picked up a bag of ice. As I walked past her, she said, pointing to the checker next to her, "She would have carded you too!" I would have left a tip if I could.
