Good. The rules apply to everyone equally and that starts by taking nothing for granted, ask for the rules to be followed.
He is 51. I haven't been carded in a decade and I am in my later 30s.
Well hopefully you have it when they ask randomly some time. I was carded the first time in almost a decade, was a surprise but gotta be ready for it when you purchase age restricted products. If anything someone as a governer should be happy people are checking, as annoying as it is, since the rules are (supposed to be) for all.
I went to high school with a guy who started balding in junior high and had worry lines and a resting sour face. It aged him enough that he bought us Popov a few times, probably because he looked exactly like the kind of person who would buy cheap vodka. He understood his superpower and helped those in need.
But asking for a card just once would have stopped it all. Evenly distributed law enforcement, even empty procedural moves like checking ID, is what justice looks like. We are all in this together.
I agree, my comment wasn't meant to be taken that it was a good thing. I don't even look that old for my age. The first time I didn't get carded I was 21 and wearing a suit from a funeral... then it was like another 5 years until I didn't get carded again.
Enforcement obviously needs to be improved.
I always thought it was crazy when I worked at pharmacy how I would have to sell cigarettes to someone that was of age, even if I just literally saw a 14 year old hand them a $20 for the butt's right in the doorway. There should be something allowing for sales discretion and punishing companies that force sales.
