24-Year-Old Accused of Using a Fake ID for Alcohol

We’ve all heard stories of people getting carded when they’re well over the legal drinking age, but what about being accused of using a fake ID when you’re actually 24?

Little did she know, she was about to experience a rather baffling encounter with a cashier who simply couldn’t believe she was 24!
