So my wife (34f) forgets her ID and I (33m) order a drink at a restaurant we frequent often. Obviously they wouldn’t serve my wife a drink because she couldn’t present an ID. We could be considered regulars with how often we are there.
Regularly spend $150-200 a night and tip 20-30%. The people working tonight are not the regular staff. My wife has maybe 3 discreet sips of my drink (not in front of the server) and I want to order another drink.
The server refuses to give me another drink because he says we are sharing drinks and watching our table like we are little kids. Mind you the whole time he sets up people in the restaurant to police us and watch our table when he can’t.
Barely gives any service. Except when we’re done with our food. I have no problem with them not serving my wife because yes the law says no drinks if you don’t have ID, but you deny me a grown 33 year old man with a wedding ring on a second drink.
Even if the liquor board is there they check to make sure people who are drinking are ID’ed. They’re not going to make a fuss if someone has a sip who is obviously over 21. None of your business what happens at our table. You’re not top flight security. Left a $0 tip. AITA?
