I would normally agree with that...except for this one case...

I know you guys have heard me talk about King Buffet in Fox Run before...

NEVER NEVER NEVER eat there

one time I was eating there with my exhusband and I found a roach in my deviled clam....let's just say we both walked out without paying and dared them to have us arrested.

I've seen people make a scene at restaurants when the waiter/tress asks for ID along with the credit card. Some people say they don't have it ,or flat refuse. Then tell them thats the only way they can pay.

Pretty nutty working for the public.

It is, to be honest, a pain in the ass to have to produce ID when you're obviously over the legal age (except for me, as I revel in someone thinking I'm anywhere near 21). However, in my years as both a server and a bartender, I tended to look askance at people who made a big deal about it.

Yes, I am a server. But in that respect, I can withhold your service if you strike me as someone who (a) may be underage, (b) may already be intoxicated, or (c) may be under the influence of pretty much anything. And someone who complains about having to produce identification, in my book, was always one who "doth protest too much."

Now, if the waitress cops an attitude after you've refused to produce identification, I can see how it may escalate - politeness goes a long way in the service industry. But the first gauntlet was thrown by the patron in this instance.

I'm with you BC.....someone cards me and it pretty much makes my evening

Some guys ask the ladies for ID to compliment them. And to check out their stats. I would always ask the older ladies for ID. They get a kick out of it.

All I know is that place doesn't have dessert???? WTF is that? What's the one thing you need after Mexican food... something sweet, and preferably with ice cream.

you have to lie and tell them it's your birthday to get the cheap ass kitchen cake.

But I like their food. Haven't had a bad meal there yet.... sign cracks me up every time "EAT",... yeah, no sh*t, I intend to!

You know if I was 33 and someone asked me for ID I'd probally leave a nice tip,,

I was cracking up. I gave her 2 bucks for a tip as well.
