I was excited to buy beer with my newly-acquired driver's license. You know, I look far younger to American people, hopefully to Asian people too.
Anyhow, I went to Safeway to buy beer. I had waited in line for a while and my turn came. I made sure if I had my driver's license in my purse while I was waiting. "OK, I can show it to him," I thought.
"OK, $**.**, ma'am."
Wait! You don't ask me my ID even though I acquired a driver's license for this?! Don't I look young?! Well, lights are normally dimmed in a pub. Maybe that's why I cannot buy beer at a pub without a proper ID.
That's what I learned today outside of academia.
