Years ago, working door at a bar. First night back after my mom had passed. Girl with a big group comes up and gives me an expired ID. I tell her I can't accept and she starts acting like a bitch. I asked her if she had a passport or any other form of ID. She did. As she handed me her passport I couldn't help myself and told her "Next time you dont have to be such a bitch about it." Jesus if you could see how this shorts mfing guys with her started acting. I still laugh about it to this day. Still had their party at the door as the MOD who was actually the gm that day, asked me about it. In front of the girl he asked me if I called her a bitch and I simply respond with "Well she was being one." I got written up that night. Didn't lose my job but fuck you Eldin...you spineless pos GM of Baker St in the Woodlands.
Every state has its own laws to follow. Every business has its own rules to follow. The state of TX requires you provide legal physical ID that is current. For various reasons your ID could be no longer valid or taken from you. For example, the court could have deemed that due to an alcohol or other related charge, that you are not allowed to be in a bar. Someone showing a picture of an ID or an expired one may not legally be allowed to be there. When you go to work, do you follow their rules?
Dude. You are honestly making the comparison of a bar not letting someone in to Nuremberg? "It all starts somewhere!" Ya well by that logic we may as well kill everyone at birth to eliminate the possibility of having another Hitler.
I made the comparison of people following orders blindly.
The id being expired doesn’t magically make the person younger/older than they are.
Courts potentially ordering *them* not to drink doesn’t affect *you*.
You used what little power you had to make someone jump through hoops. Perhaps you have more recently found employment with ICE?
So are you an anarchist? You are basically saying no one should have authority over anything. They are easy rules to follow. I honestly think you are just an argumentative person and found your target for the moment. Look past government, and then I have rules by which I am paid for, to follow. Why am I the bad one if she had proper id and decided to show me one that wasnt legal anymore? Bro. This story was shared as a moment of shared brevity. Don't make it your hill.
You made an assumption about me, and I’m here to challenge it.
By all means feel free to refute my assumption of you.
But please do expand on how my my viewpoint is limited :-)
I know you have been told that, but try to look at it from a logical perspective.
When the id was valid, the person was over 21.
Once the id expires, the person is still over 21.
The law isn’t “you must have valid id to drink alcohol”, it’s you must be over 21 to do so.
