What fucking retard thinks I'm under the age of 21? I haven't looked 21 years old since I was 23. That was ten fucking years ago. TEN. 1998.
Ten years ago in 1998 Bill Clinton was impeached. He was the second president ever impeached. However he was the first president to get impeached for being awesome and getting blowjobs from interns. I can barely remember any of the details and do any of you know why? BECAUSE IT WAS TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO. I have gray hair now, and there is even some in my goatee as well. There is no fucking way I look under the age of thirty, much less 21.
I just stared at the dude, dumbfounded, searching for the right words to express the fact he was an asshole, and that I am 3 weeks away from being, realistically, closer to my middle thirties, than my early thirties.
What the fuck is wrong with people today that some fucking dude that works at Red Robin has to card me because I'm not 39 1/2 years old. I'm not kidding. He was actually wearing a button that said "We card under the age of 39 1/2".
Why 39,,,,,,and a half? Why not make it an even round number, like 39, or 40? Think about it, if some dude cannot tell that I am clearly over the age of 21, how is he going to get my age correctly within a half of a fucking year? Does he think to himself,
"Waaaiiit a minute, this dude looks like he's only 39 and a quarter old..... I better card him"
Who made this rule up? Is it a law? Is it restaurant policy? Either way, its fucking stupid.
Can you picture the following conversation in a board room at some nondescript office building in America.
"You know what Bob? We should make the carding age 39 and a half. We want to show our customers that we have corporate responsibility, and we'll just add the half of a year to show that we also have a sense of humor. We're fucking awesome. See how witty we are?" Responsibility plus humor will vault us into the Restauranting stratosphere. Those fucks over at TGI Fridays will never see it coming!

This policy has to stop. When did things get so fucking convoluted that someone cannot tell if a person is of legal drinking age. Its not rocket science. If the person looks like they are close to 21 years old, you card them. If they look like they are in their mid thirties you should kindly shut the fuck up and bring them the Guinness that they ordered.
Postscript. This is the same restaurant that had a mascot roaming around. During dinner. I'm not joking. In a packed restaurant there was a Red Robin walking around for the duration of my dinner. No, I wasn't attending a baseball game, or eating at Chuckie fucking Cheese. It was your everyday run of the mill restaurant, but you know, obviously not.

So, you make a conscious decision to eat at Red Robin, then you have the nerve to complain about the mascot and the idiotic carding policy? That is the equivalent of people who don't vote making complaints about state of the union. Just so you know for next time, Red Robin's maarketing is geared toward kids. Its a family joint, and they know that parents let their kids pick the restaurant. Why do you think that instead of lemonade, you get freckled lemonade with a wacky straw? Next time you crave a Banzai Burger, check out the curbside to-go. You won't even have to get out of your car, therefore you won't be subjected to the madness. And you can get a whole 6pack of guiness on the way home.
Is it just me sensing a theme here with your last two posts? You keep telling me that I am not as smart as you, but even I can figure out that if you just starting carrying your damn wallet maybe none of this "crazy karma" would keep biting you in the ass.
Just like with all your ex-girlfriends.....it's not them, it's you.
I moved to boycott Red Robin years ago after about 20 Jim Beams at the Lep. Those shitty "bottomless steak fries and that salty shit spice" they put on their fries made me puke 3 times or more.
