I hate it when people question my ID. I once got carded in a Chi-Chi's bar when I was with my sister. I think I was about 26 at the time. I ordered - a virgin daiquiri. I understand why they had to look at my ID too, since my sister was drinking and I was in the bar too. The bartender back and forth at the ID and me about 5 times, then took it to the hostess and showed her the ID and pointed at me. Seriously, man, give me my virgin daiquiri and my ID back. It was about 4 in the afternoon on a weekday and we were the only ones in there. I think they'd be able to notice if I was bogarting her drink

Weight is something utterly and totally personal. Personally, I'd be as unlikely to want my weight on my ID, as I'd want any mention of my religion on there.
What gets me is she still sold you the beer, yet basically admitted she didn't think your ID was valid after you showed it to her. That likely got her fired, not her attitude (which was horrid).
In my experience, it's the older employees who ID me, not the younger ones... odd. They SOUND younger (as in dumb).
Yeah, there's a movie theater I always go to, and there are two registers. Often times, there'll be this old lady and a younger employee (the younger one varies, but the old lady is always the same). For R-rated movies, the old lady ALWAYS asks for ID, and the younger one almost never does, and sometimes you can catch her looking at him/her, cause really, they're supposed to.
I also remember the other week these girls got carded and one only had her birth certificate, which the old lady didn't want to take because it didn't have her picture, so they were having this whole argument. Ten minutes later after we got seats I went to the bathroom and the girls were there, talking about how, "Everything's easier now that we're 17."
and, this kind of thing happens to me all the time, too. i'm 30 now and still get carded everywhere i go; but, oddly enough, my worst experience came when i was 22, and at the movies.
i got carded for a rated "R" movie. which means they thought i was at least 16. i had graduated from college and they thought i was mid-high school age. 16. *doh*
My husband was once told by a bouncer "I'll buy that you're 19 (i.e., old enough for bar entry in Iowa City), but not that you're 21." They made him pay cover and stamped his hand "under 21". He was 28, it was a bar crawl, and he was wearing wristbands from five other bars. Granted, he was the DD, and he doesn't drink anyway, but it still sucked having to pay cover when everyone else didn't.

Partially because I dress like a weirdo and order double whiskey shots, but who knows.
