A few years ago my husband (who would have been in his mid-20s at that time) gave his DL to the bartender at a Longhorn Steakhouse in MD. The woman apparently had never seen a DL from KS and thought it was fake. She proceeded to look over it real closely...including actually folding it...she put a permanent crease in it.I expect to be carded since I'm only 22 (and per my profile picture, I look like I could be 12), but what does frustrate me is when people have asked if I'm "old enough to be drinking"
I have had CMs squint at my ID and give me funny looks, like they think it's fake
I know they're just doing their jobs, but that's a bit insulting to me
Our waiter at CG actually laughed and said "come now, that's not you is it?"
I never give them any fuss and I always just lay my ID out on the table when I'm planning to drink, but come on. Just let me have a drink. My ID is real. I'm aware I look very young, but I gave you a valid form of ID. Please just give me my drink and leave me be.
I was so upset when I found that out. My husband ended up waiting to get a new DL to when his would renew but up until then he had a bent one.
Honestly it's been years IMO that DLs could be easily faked. Ever since my state switched from lamenated ones really.
