I bought alcohol today and had to show an ID. I said to the clerk, “I’m Uncle Tommy.” He said, “Huh?”. Turns out he doesn’t read the blog. (One of those freak things, I guess.) So I showed him my ID and explained it the way I always do (lately) by saying, “That’s me without the mask.” I think he appreciated that but you can’t get a good read on non-verbals with these darned masks on...
It was weird to get “carded” at my age. I wonder if they card people for alcohol during the designated senior citizens shopping hour. That would seem hypocritical. I mean, you have to be like 55 to get in, right?
Perhaps one of you older readers who drinks could chime in on this.
Are you implying that the waitress or clerk who asks for my ID doesn't really think I look 16???
