TIFU by trying to get alcohol for my friend who forgot her ID.
My friend and I went to get booze for girls night. We get to the liquor store, and as we walk up, she mid step suddenly realizes she forgot her ID.
I told her not to worry. I’ll buy. Easy, right?
Wrong.
I go in, grab our usual — a bottle of wine and a few coolers — and head to cash. Everything’s going fine until the cashier asks, “Is this for you?”
And instead of just saying yes like a normal human being, my dumbass says: “No, it’s for my friend outside, but she forgot her ID.”
I instantly realize what I said, but it’s too late. The cashier raises her eyebrow, sighs, and says, “Yeah, I can’t sell this to you now.”
I try to correct my language that is for me to drink as well.
She’s not having it. She takes the drinks and puts them behind the counter.
I leave empty-handed and now have the honor of being that person who got denied trying to buy alcohol like I was running a minor smuggling ring in broad daylight.
My friend? She found it hilarious.
I’m still feeling the cringe of the ordeal
TL;DR I told cashier I was buying booze for my friend outside who didn’t have ID. Cashier would not cash my drinks and took them.

this is your George Washington and the Cherry Tree
Just go to a different location. And this time say it’s for you, while leaving friend in the car.
Yep, same with people who walk in going “I forgot my ID, can I still buy alcohol?” My guy, you look like an adult, I probably wasn’t gonna card you anyway, but now I gotta say no. I hate it too. Quit telling on yourself.
My favorite story was going to a local store that would sell alcohol to minors. I, being a high school senior, went with a female friend, who was a freshman. I put two 24 packs of beer on the counter. My female friend had a small pack of wine coolers. As the guy was ringing me up, he looked at her and said, “I’ll need to see some ID.”
I looked at him, looked at her, grabbed her wine coolers, put them next to my beer, and said, “I’ll buy them.”
He rang up her booze with mine, I paid, and we left. Absolutely hilarious, ROFL! 😆😆😆
