At the grocery store, I used to ask for ID for tobacco and alcohol all the time, regardless of age. The trick I found for getting away with it, usually from the customers who complained “Don’t I look like I’m old enough?” was to say, “I’ve seen 20 year olds who look older than you.”
Honest on that one, too. It’s why I asked for ID with everyone. Well, almost everyone, I should say. There was an old couple who would come in from time to time.
A lot of people don’t believe me when I tell them I’m not in my 30s. If anyone asked me how old I am, I would say “I watched the Challenger explode on live TV when I was in high school.”
I want to say it is Walmart that asks for an ID if you appear under 40 yrs of age.
That was more or less the same policy we had at the convenience store where I worked a few years ago.

Our computers require us to card everyone. No exceptions.
