Because I was feeling rather pitiful and sorry for myself, after I got out of class last night I went to the drug store to find myself some drugs. After grabbing something that might make me feel more like a normal person, I headed to the check out.
Checkout Kid: "Good Evening"
Me: "Hi" Thinking come on now, let's hurry this up. What can I say, being sick makes me cranky.
Checkout Kid scans the cold medicine.
Checkout Kid: "Are you over 18?"
Me: "?!?!?!?!?!?!?" accompanied by a totally blank stare "Umm...what?"
Checkout Kid: obviously annoyed, my idiocy was keeping him from restocking the shelves after all. "Are you over 18 years old?"
Me: "Oh yes. But thanks for asking!"
That's right, I got CARDED while buying COLD medicine. I've been asked for ID on many occassions - and rarely do I go out for a drink (or many) even now without a request for my ID and some studying of it to assure that I am actually the girl depicted on the ID.
But while buying cold medicine?! That's a new one, even for me...

That's a new one! How sweet that he wasn't sure you were over 18! I think that is because of all the meth labs that use an ingredient of cold medicine in drug production. You must have had a shady look about you! :)
Only people older than 18 are allowed to have illegal meth labs.
Maybe you shouldn't have tried to buy 26 bottles of cold medicine at one time. And I realize that it was just so you could, uh, stock up for the next time you get sick.
I was only asked for idee once and it was after my 18th birthday!! No-one even pretends to be polite nowadays :-(
My bridesmaid once got asked if she was an unaccompanied minor when flying to Sydney for a wedding dress fitting!
Hope you're feeling better.
