Then I would have insisted that my daughter present her driver's license as proof that she was old enough. Nosy employee would be thrown off guard because there is no stupid age requirement for coffee. Then I would have ordered coffee for myself and presented my ID too. But I sound more evil than you... :)Randihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746936407430428943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904083131682536648.post-71433893631344421052009-03-25T13:23:00.000-07:002009-03-25T13:23:00.000-07:00I laughed at Cass's answer.I manage a restaurant a...I laughed at Cass's answer.<BR/><BR/>I manage a restaurant and our rule of thumb is Don't question the guest. (in front of them anyway) <BR/><BR/>I've had parents roll their eyes when kids try to order things not age appropriate and interject and say.<BR/><BR/>"No Tommy will not have a Stoli Martini extra dry two olives, he'll have a tall glass of milk"<BR/><BR/>Mom mock slaps Tommy on arm.<BR/><BR/><BR/>And very cool on finding the letter.
