BC Liquor Store
Last night at a couple minutes past 10pm, my best friend Sofia and I went to the liquor store on 41st and Cambie. I picked out a nice bottle of wine for one of my friends (she was throwing the party we were heading to) and some vodka water(pursource) for Mike. Sofia picked out some nice Canadian coldshots!
Like any other store, after we picked our goodies we go to the cashier to pay. Sofia goes first and the older lady behind the counter asks for her ID, it was already placed on top of the coldshots. Then she asks for a 2nd peice so Sofia hands the lady her bank card and the lady still isn't satisfied because Sofia's signature was rubbed off so she asks for something else with a signature. Sofia then looks through her wallet and finds her carecard and hands it to the lady. The lady says "the signatures don't match, I can't sell you this" and Sofia replies "thats cause I signed my carecard when I was 12." I was quite annoyed with this lady because apparently her BCid, bankcard and carecard isn't enough identifcation for her! So I said "fine I'll buy it" and the lady turns to me and says "sorry you can't buy alcohol for minors" at that point I lose it and start making a fit saying "this is fuckin' ridiculous! she's 21, and she's older then I am" Both Sofia and I just give up at that point and I tell the lady to put my stuff through. She scans my stuff and asks for my ID. I hand my drivers license to her, then she asks for a second. I throw down two bank cards and a visa and scream "PICK ONE" I pay, say rude and obsence things to the lady a couple more times and give the lady dirty looks, then it was time to leave with only half the booze we need. We drove to the Fairview cold beer and wine and got more booze cause Leanne (party thrower) needed another bottle of wine and we still were out some coldshots. Now at this wonderful establishment, we DID NOT even get ID'd, *sigh* thats my rant! I'm done now

that is also ridiculous! like come on!
sofia bought alcohol when she was 15-16 with her sisters id, no problem there... she bought again when she was 17-18 with her other sisters id, and no problem there... but when it's actually her idenification.. then shes a minor?

i mean come on did the id look like her?
wouldnt that have worked before we had this STUPID 2 pieces of id thing? most likely yes it would have. so how can one extra piece of id that was signed years ago make a difference now? i've shown my sin card had had the same hassle cause i signed it so many years ago that i cant even sign my name like that anymore

Earlier this year, I went to the liquor store (on Broadway between Rupert and Renfrew) and I was with Sofia (it seems like us and liquor stores don't go together) and Sofia was throwing a little party at her house for her friends, and I told her I'd drive her to get booze.
So we go and pick out some nice rum and flavoured vodka and go to the cashier. *sigh* The lady asked Sofia for ID and no problem at all and then she turns to me and asks me for ID, and I'm all suprised since I'm not buying anything so I tell her that "but I'm not buying anything" "I know but we still have to ID everyone who comes into the store" and I don't like this answer at all and repeat louder "BUT I'M NOT BUYING ANYTHING" and so we end up in a screaming fit and I finally say "Do you ID little babies in strollers that come in with their parents, they are underage and NOT BUYING ANYTHING" and she kinda froze and didn't really have an answer for me and just let me go. *sigh* my life is filled with drama with ladies at the liquor store

What a load of crap... my SIN Card and CareCard both have no signatures on them as they're a good 10 years old and only one person has said something about it. I just told them to get stuffed and let me in which they kindly did.

Actually smae thing happened to me at the 41st and cambie one. I go up the guy asks for my id so i handed it to him, asks for a 2nd piece but i realized i only brought my id and wallet but no additional pieces so i tell my friend to buy it instead. Then he goes off saying he can't buy it cause im obviously gonna drink it and i havn't proven im over 19 yet. So i go off on this guy swearing at him etc... Man was that ever dumb as well

I thought the second peice was to make sure the names match, if it something like a SIN card or your carecard(which was most likely signed when you were 10 years younger) that shouldn't matter.
If I were to give some girl my ID, I would not lend her my carecard/SINcard I'd give an old bank card or something

The Signature strip is worn off... if they don't like it they can blow me. There's a signature on my Drivers License. I'll sign their foreheads if they want another.

Does your friend Sofia look particulary young? Regardless if this lady had some sort of chip on her shoulder she is just doing her job...
You may think that non-matching signatures shouldn't be a problem but perhaps it's been a trend lately that they were told to look out for? Some people like to exercise their muscles more than others, but it's still within their rights as an employee. Personally I love being yelled at doing my job... not.

Heh.
I'm actually really lucky. My id is 5 years old and I NEVER get hassled. Half the time I don't even get ASKED at gov't stores. And cold beer and wines glance at it and nod me through. The only time I've really been hassled was when I was like, 19 and I was the only one sober enough to go and buy smokes for friends. This was before the whole 2 pieces of id thing, and she made me pull my ponytail out and take my glasses off. It was stupid.

ugh I hate that. just a few weeks ago after I got off work, the bf decided he wanted to hit up the liquor store in the mall to get some jack daniels to marinate some meat in. we go in and immediately get set upon by this woman. "do you have 2 pieces of id? you need 2 pieces to be in here" he did but me having no wallet as I never bring it to work didn't. now I know I look sorta young, but for christ's sake I'm 26 years old! I don't look THAT young. she kicked me out and I had to stand in the freezing cold with no jacket waiting for him to come out. I was NOT HAPPY.tthen just this week I went in again, same place, wearing the same thing, different guy and he didn't even give me the once over or even ask for it. jerks
