I'm 22 F and people used to think I looked very young and I would often get mistaken for a high schooler. Any time I went to get alcohol or nicotine I would always get ID'd, but when I went to get nicitine pods at a gas station I don't normally visit the cashier didn't even ask for my ID and another time I had my ID ready and they didn't bother scanning it.
The cashier was probably being lazy. Over Christmas 2018 I worked in a pharmacy that sold alcoholic gift sets and diligently carded everyone who looked under 30 but some of my colleagues would sell to people who could have been school kids. I think if you work there long enough you just stop caring.
RoyyRogers makes a good point about our demeanour affecting how old we are perceived as, take it as a compliment that you carry yourself like an adult.
I always looked WAY younger than I was and for whatever reason I rarely got carded or stopped from going into adult only areas
Maybe they forgot to card you. I still get carded for alcohol and lotto tickets and I'm in my 30s. I'm guessing they probably forgot or maybe what you were wearing made you look a little older and passed as old enough?
If it’s challenge 25 then they should’ve done, otherwise you probably just look your age
Some people dont care. I use to buy cigarillos from this one tobacco shop when I was 17 (back then tobacco sales was 18) and he wouldnt card me. Eventually he randomly asked me how old I am he said just tell him the truth. I told him 17 and he just kind of laughed about it. That became my spot to buy. He wouldnt sale me alcohol when I tried tho.
I don't drink often at all and I haven't been using nicotine regularly until somewhat recently, because i've been under an a lot of stress.
