A-tip-ical Aging
(I’m a woman and manager at a sausage/beer stand. I card everyone that orders beer, regardless of how old they look. Some customers get insulted, while others don’t mind. Note: I look at least 10 years younger than my actual age.)
Me: “Hi, how can I help you?”
Customer: “I’d like two beers, polish, and a coke.”
Me: “May I see some ID, please?”
Customer: “I’m waaay older than you. How old do I look?”
(He looks in his mid-30s, so I guess much earlier in age.)
Me: “Uh, 24?”
Customer: “Haha! NO!”
(He shows me his ID, and his birth date makes him over 35.)
Me: “Wow, you don’t look it.”
Customer: “How old are you?”
Me: “I’m 47.”
Customer: *skeptically* “Sure… you can’t be any older than 30. Okay, show me YOUR ID.”
Me: “Okay…”
(I pull out my ID. Much to his surprise, he sees I’m older than he is.)
Customer: “HOLY S***! WOW! You look great! Good genes, huh?”
Me: *smiling* “Yeah, something like that…”
(He pays for his order, but also puts an additional $10 bill on the counter.)
Customer: “This tip is for putting up with me!”
(Made my night!)
