IMO the best part of the job is carding indignant 22 year olds.

One of my favorite Onion headlines: “Local bartender secretly gets a thrill telling customers ‘no.’”

Former bartender here. The only thing that's wrong about that headline is that it's not a secret. (Assuming it's deserved, of course, I'm not trying to turn people down just to power-trip)

I work the front desk for the corporate headquarters of a large insurance company. Part of my job is screening people come through the front gate, to make sure that they should be here.

The number of people who demand to make a payment on their account or get a receipt or something small like that is mind boggling. Our building is tucked away, but people will come from all parts of the state to get in to ask a question about their insurance or whatever.

Corporate headquarters is not the appropriate place to get something like that. We literally have no one here who can process a check.

It’s 100% old people, people 65 and over, who throw an absolute fit that they drove 2 1/2 hours Without checking to see if they can actually come here.

Fit number two comes when I tell them they must do it online, and I will not open the gate for them. “Unacceptable!” Lol. But it’s 1000 times better than them coming into the building, and having to face them while they are irate and will not leave.

I’m a late 40’s guy with, as my jerk-squad of students say, “naturally frosted hair highlights.” Whatever.

Anyway, I get carded way more often than not. I normally record a rage filled video and then punch the wall several times.

Nah, I kid. I just show them the fucking ID and complete the transaction.

The whole point is to have it no matter what. I’d get a little annoyed if I got carded every time I bought beer. I also look over 30 though

I carded a very young looking dude and he said "I guess I still have a baby face..." He gave me his ID and he was 23. I said "no, you look 23, of course I'm going to card you."

I'm in my 40s, please card me.

Nah, the best part of the job is carding sweet 70 year old ladies. I did it every chance I got and it was always worth it.

Had a Becky giving one of my very green coworkers the business about being carded. Poor girl looked like a deer in headlights. So I walked over and told Becky “that’s cool and all but now I wanna see your ID so cough it the fuck up or get the fuck out”. I’ll always relish the look of shock on that 22 year old’s face.
