Getting asked for ID

Rant time. There's this one sour-faced vindictive bitch with barely a word of the Queen's who works in the Tesco on the Fulham Palace Road near where I live who insists on asking me for ID every single fucking time I go and buy fags or booze. I'm 23. I look older than 23. She knows I'm 23 as I've shown her my driving licence countless times. It really annoys me that she appears to derive some sick pleasure from this fruitless pursuit.
I guess this must happen to quite a few people but I hope, for your sake, not at the same location and perpetrated by the same fucking person every damned time.
Rant over.

Been going round town for years, yet all of a sudden, a new bar opens and the same idiot bouncer asks me every single week for ID, despite me being in most Fridays and Saturdays!
And everytime he makes the same "ooooh u were blonde" comment (blonde on my driving license, now brunette!)
Not likely mate. She's got a face like a sack of spanners.
Not when it's evidently done out of spite or the lack of anything better to do.
Always worth bearing in mind that most of the time, the people asking for ID are simply following orders. The organ grinders who come up with these daft policies are usually gimps who've probably never worked in a shop or a bar in their lives. *clicks on Report Post button to report this disgraceful piece of spam*
I'm all bitched out when it comes to complaining about ID!
I handed over my ID which states I was born in 1985, and then proceeded to watch the shop assistant count from 1985 to 2008 on her fingers, give me my ID back, ask for it again, count again, then ask how old I was!
ha
You only have to remember that one bouncer - that one bouncer probably had hundreds of faces to recognise - why should he remember you from hundreds if not thousands of people that walk through the doors each week?
probably because i am from widnes, thousands of people do not walk through even the busiest pub here in a weekend.
I am in there almost every weekend, and stand outside (where the bouncers are) quite a lot
also because every time he sees my ID, he makes the same comment
fair enough you might think - except these ones were the little kiddy ones that even a 5 yo are able to use
needless to say i hadnt brought my id out with me and had to walk out of said shop extremely pissed off - and went to the toy shop instead. they had no problem oddly enough
Aww now that is when ID is taken to the extreme and I would be annoyed at that! Haha.
So would you ask the same person for ID even if they came in every week and you knew their face?
I'd make a scene and say something to piss her off
That's gotta be the funniest and stupidest thing ever?
You get ID'd in the shop you work in! LOL!
Now i dont get offended, if i havent brought my ID out then its my own fault..it usually saves me money if i forget it anyways...
EDIT: although i would get annoyed if i showed ID to the same person a number of times. I would usually remember a face if they went through my checkout again..defo if it was several times.
i asked a girl for ID today for cigarettes and she was really rude about it, flying into a temper and stormed off shouting 'oh dont worry love, i'll get them from my corner shop, asking me for fucking ID' so as she was going i said 'see ya!' in a really mock cheerful voice. i probably shouldnt have done it but she pissed me off. ha.
Sorry, a related rant.
Exactly. Bar staff seem to manage it even though they're serving hundreds of people a night. I don't care about being asked for ID, but the same person every time would piss me off.
