Last night I went to Tesco to buy some cans of San Miguel, 2 bakewell tarts and a bag of kettle chips. When I got to the check-out (marked "10 items or less", gratingly), the kid serving me, who couldn't have been any older than 16, asked me for identification to buy alcohol.
Me: "Uh, yeah, multiple credit cards do you?"
Kid: "No, I need photo ID"
Me: "A Young Person's Railcard?"
Kid: [stares at the card, unable to read a date of birth anywhere]
Me: [pointing] "I'm 26"
Okay, I had had a shave, but I have been legally buying alcohol for over 8 years now, and I wouldn't say I look 16/17!
I thought of a load of demeaning things I could have said back to the kid, but by that point I had left the shop.
