Still Get Carded

After dropping of my daughter in her school I stop at Turkey Hill to buy my DH smoke. (I know, I know bad blah blah...that would be another post.) I walked in and asked if they have any specials like, buy one get one free deal. And the check out lady said yes, we have ____ and ____, ok I'll take one of ____.

Then she followed with, "can I see an ID please". I was surprised, I know I'm not regular and not only that, I don't smoke. I told her "are you kidding me?" I walked out the door while saying, "ok, I'll show you how old I am". Came back with my license and told her,"I'm way too old for this, here look". Buying smoke control by the government, I will not be surprise with this new ID coming out...the government will know everything about you, i.e. buy, eat, read, etc. Or how often you have sex. Don't be surprise, they will.

There was two older people in front of me checking out. They told that I should be grateful that someone still thinks that I am young. (what the heck!) Are you kidding me!, it's annoying specially if I had to take two toddler out of their car seat just to get the stinking smoke. (Stop it, it's our business if someone smoke or not with the kids in the van.) Because no one in my family ever smoke in the presence of our DC's. Not that we are against second hand smoke, it's because we don't want our kids to copy anyone. We know its bad, it's an addiction.

I told my DH what happens and answer me with, "carded when buying cigarettes, next police stopping individuals for no reason at all".

Like I said before, if the parents of under age kids doesn't care why should other people will. Mind your own business.
