Input: I initially posted this to a different sub, and was referred to post here for professional asshole checkers.  Here is the story as it was laid out there:   

So, our local liquor store chain has a policy where they card everyone under 40. They also have signs all over the store stating that if you are under 40 and they fail to card you, they will give you 40 dollars.  

Saturday I decided to do some drunk streaming, and went to the store to get cider. When I was checking out, the cashier asked me what year I was born in. I an definitely over 21, and told him the year.  

He then finished the transaction without asking for my ID. After I paid, I pointed out he didn't ask for my ID, So he replied with, oh, can I see it?  

I told him he could, but that wasn't the point, and that I am under 40, and wanted my 40 dollars. He then made a huge production about it, told me I had to wait for his manager, and in general got really rude with me.  

I wound up waiting for about 15 minutes, but finally filled out some paperwork to get a check mailed to me.  

Am I an asshole for asking for my 40 bucks?    


Editing original post to clarify some things brought up in comments:   


I have no idea if this is a franchise location or not, but there are a lot of liquor stores under the brand name in my area.    


I also don't go to this store very often, the last time was 5 months ago and I did not recognize either of the cashiers that were working.    


I do not believe that I look like I am 40 at all, and most people peg me to be early 30's when asked how old they think I am.      


And in my state, there is, in fact, a law that states that everyone purchasing alcohol must be asked to show ID unless they "reasonably appear" over the age of 40, that's not just a company policy.
