Do you get carded a lot?
I went grocery shopping a few days ago. I bought some beer. At the register, the cashier asked me to show him my ID. When he saw my driver's license, he looked surprised. He was surprised by my age and said "you look so young!". I haven't gotten that in a while. I know Asian people look younger, but still, I was very pleased!
I live in the States, by the way.
Then, he said "do you get carded a lot?". I couldn't catch what he said because I was not familiar with the sentence. I asked him several times what he said. Finally I guessed that he said "do you get carded a lot?". I assumed that it meant "are you frequently asked to show your ID?".
I get carded everytime I buy alcohol, so I thought that everyone had to show ID everytime in the States, even if you are obviously older than 21. However, it is not necessary, isn't it?
Do you get carded a lot? :D

Nice story!
So, in USA, everyone who wants to buy alcohol will be asked to show their ID card.
I live in Indonesia. Even if the majority here is Moslem, some of them do drink alcohol, and the government seems not regulate this seriously.
