I've been meaning to post this for a while, but I keep forgetting about it.
I'm one of the people in charge of signing checks for Campus Crusade for Christ. So I'm usually the one who goes out to get snacks for our weekly meeting. A couple weeks back we decided to change things up a little bit. We decided to make Jell-O Jigglers. We were really excited about this idea because it wasn't our usual chips and cookies.
So we went to Wal-Mart intending to buy Jell-O and sodas. I had written checks before at Wal-Mart and never had any trouble. But this time, I go up to the check out and the lady rings up about $7 worth of Jell-O and sodas. I write the check, she looks at it and then asks to see my driver's license. I got it out, thinking to myself this is what I get for being out of state. Then I realize that the check doesn't have my address on it. It has the school's address. She didn't write anything like a phone number on the check. All she did was type in my state code (which she had to look up) and when the little screen said "OVER 18?" she typed yes.
So I've decide that I definitely got carded for buying $7 worth of Jell-O and soda, and I'm still a little confused why.

i was carded when i was 23 trying to see a rated R movie! the girl carding me was younger than i was. i think she was just trying to be all authoritative. i didn't even want to see the movie - everyone else did - and she didn't card any of them and they were all younger too. thanks for bringing up these suppressed memories. sigh.
That's hilarious! Great blog by the way. Hope you're having a blessed day!
i would just like to say thank you for keeping my 150 llama's even though i have been a terrible, terrible poo poo blogger recently. also, i would like to unconfuse you about why you got carded for $7 dollars worth of jello. basically there is a limit to how much jello the government thinks people need. So, when we swipe large amounts of jello over the scanner a prompt comes up on the register asking "who honestly needs this much jello? is the customer over 18?" it's really just a big hassle, but i completely understand how it is necessary. i loathe walmart, just to let you know.
