Growing a beard means I get ID'd less but it's annoying when I do. You can tell who's 18, they're the ones pissed on WKD and dancing to the shit music as soon as they arrive.

I never buy anything to get ID'd for lol.
Although the policy in most places now is 'challenge 25'...I hated having to ask 'older' people for ID when I worked at the Co-op, specially as I can't tell ages at all...most of them were older than me as well!

I used to work in a pub so being id'd doesn't bother me, from the other side it just isn't worth not id'ing someone, the punishments are pretty severe.

As a previous bar manager; it is NOT the shops/bars who are have the issue, it's those above which wack HUUUGE fines and closure orders on premises' which serve under age people, not to mention the stings that the local authorities send out.
You knwo you're going to get ID; keep ID on you as dumdum says

All the damn time, but then I can't grow facial hair and look about 15 (despite being nearly 21), so what do you expect?

As leGinge said, £1000 fine for the cashier, £2000 fine for the management, and up to £5000 iirc for the company involved. Mystery shoppers are all too common too.
I never understand why anyone gets annoyed at being ID'd, especially for the five seconds it takes to produce ID. The same people would probably have a problem with the 12 year olds down the park drinking underage.

Is that for shops or just pubs?
If it goes for shops that would explain the extreme bollocking I got for selling a 16 year old a packet of fags then. Didn't get fined though luckily.
Tbf, he DID have ID in his hand, and as he was a big scary black dude (/srowell) I didn't want to ask for it, BUT it wasn't his, he'd stole it off someone who ran into the shop 10 minutes later complaining of a stolen wallet.
