Up here in ak when i worked at the liquor store it was company policy to card everyone and at all the bars i dunno if its legally required but you get carded at the door and by the bartender/waitress on your first order (restaurants dont have bouncers obv so just by waitress/bartender)

Every state had to make the drinking age 21 in order to keep getting federal money for roads (thanks Reagan) but they've done it in wildly different ways. Out of curiosity, how old are you, and do you literally get carded everytime you go to a bar, even a bar where you've been there enough that staff recognizes you? Throughout my twenties I would switch between being clean shaven and having a beard and everytime I shaved I would get carded and with a beard I usually wouldn't, it was a bit of a slap in the face the first time I shaved and then didn't get carded.

I know some bars/liquor stores around my place would have a sign saying something like "if you look under the age of "X" (usually 30 or something) you would be carded".

Im 32 but i have a babyface so i get carded all the time it doesnt bother me. Actually tbh once i hit 30 being carded actually wrapped around to being a nice confidence booster

I carded a woman who ended up being in her 50s once. I did, like, a quadruple-take and told her she was probably gonna get carded until the day she died.

Working a door was almost never fun because without fail you either got the "How old are you?" people or the "Don't you know who I am?"s.

Again, that's a store policy not a law. there's no way you can get in legal trouble because you sold alcohol to someone who was old enough to buy it but looked younger. And if you got fired for selling booze to someone who was legally allowed to buy alcohol but looked too young and you didn't check their ID that's complete and total bullshit. You correctly recognized someone as being old enough to buy booze. Alcohol laws vary state by state, but it's legal to sell alcohol to people over the age of 21 unless they are already drunk in every single state. It's a funny story about Spider-Man having to ask Thor to buy him a drink and people are overthinking it.

The company I worked for had 2 contracted to do this. If your employee/store was caught not IDing they can be terminated. There are also the cops whobsend in minors to "sting" the stores.

I had a friend in high school who did that. He got attacked by a store clerk who got arrested and charged with assaulting an LEO.

Yeah at my store they had secret shoppers, the cops had their own stings and periodically the security guy would check video of the store to make sure we were IDing it was pretty strict

I had to fire a guy who didn't ID. The best part of the police stings is they arrest the clerk on duty, fine them, fine the store, and some states allow them to fine the managers. Edit: Most of the regulars were pretty good about having the ID out for show or knowing if we asked a big wig was around and not to make a fuss.

Excise showed up one night and one of the bartenders got nailed for letting three of his friends in the back door. He of course tried to pin it on me but I convinced the boss to look at the security footage which clearly showed him doing the deed. So he got arrested, fined and when he showed up for work three days later he got fired as well.

I ate poo poo on one of those stings once at a liquor store job and it was a miserable year of fines, classes, and court dates to clear it up. But as my boss put it afterwards: "Oh, I'm not firing you for this. Anyone who fucks this up once is either gonna be out on his rear end for sloppiness immediately or never make the mistake again." He was a good boss, even if that was my worst job by a mile.

I got in minor trouble because I didn't card a 28 year old secret shopper when they bought a beer and my response was unless you show me a picture of them how can you argue they looked under thirty? Since I did everything else correctly it wasn't an issue.

I usually reply with "Probably old enough to be your father." Early 20's are the only people that get huffy about it. WTF. When I was in my 20's I slapped my ID on the bar first thing. Didn't want to waste precious drinking time.

Well growing up in South Africa in the 90's there wasn't really a scene outside of the stuff in newspaper strips and political cartoons. For a period of time we had local publishers reprint X-Men and Lobo comics. Outside of that not much I can tell you. I am sure that there are some really interesting comics coming out of Africa (possibly Northern Africa).

It's funny how they feel like they have to specify two specific Batman issues for Tom King, not the series like everything else.

The limited series category needs to be changed so it can only include completed series. Can you really fairly compare 7 of 12 issues of Miracle Man to a completed work?

I think it's funny that X-Men: Grand Design is nominated. I thought it was just a mediocre regurgitation of X-Men history with a narration.

Type in "X Explained" where X is some nerd property such as Star Wars, a particular superhero, Lord of the Rings, excetera. See the amount of subscribers, likes, favorites, and videos. Watch one of the videos. Despair.
