It still happens to me and I'm, well, I'm way over 21.<BR/><BR/>The policy is that everyone has to do it. <BR/>And everyone having to do it all the time is a lovely lesson. Young folk probably are now not aware that there was a time when you didn't have to show your papers to enter a bar, or enter a building, or go to a concert. they are trained to show IDs to anyone who asks.<BR/><BR/>I moved around the city for years with my ID at home in a drawer. No problem at all.<BR/>I'm still in the habit of not carrying it. Last month I went to a movie with a couple of male friends. We wanted to go for a drink after, discuss the movie. Went to a place across the street from me that is a coffee house during the day. Big guy at the door. I had left mine at home. All three of us are over 40. One of us is almost 60!<BR/>I was showing the guy my gray hair. He was saying something about everyone having to do it, "What if the liquor broad people came?"<BR/>I got sick of the stupid discussion and went around the corner to Little Frankies and spent my money there without showing my ID.<BR/><BR/>"Let me see your papers. Open your bag please."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
