Grocery shopping at 10pm brings out some interesting folk...the lady in front of the guy in front of me tried to buy wine on a way (one year plus) expired ID, was civil about it, and walked out to her car, got in, and drove away. I guess I'm supposed to call the cops, but I know how the rap goes...if they have an officer in the area who happens to be free and they can find the car before she gets home and out of it, they might cite her with a violation and require her to appear in front of a judge...I think we've all got better things to do with our time. All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again. At least she asked the clerk where to get a new ID. The guy in front of me tried to buy cigarettes with a birth certificate (his license had been suspended...they make an "ID only" card, folks). He was also pretty civil about it. So, no real complaints, just odd to see.
One does wonder how often they've tried that before and passed. I suppose I can see why they would...an expired ID is just expired...it doesn't mean the DOB information on it is suddenly wrong...if my driver's license expired, I wouldn't suddenly have a different birthday. But I can also see the clerk's POV: it's their job if they ring you up with an expired ID (it is against the rules), and who knows if you're an OLCC secret shopper testing the system.
I have juice! Yay! I also have croutons. Those are a pretty excellent idea too.
