Yeah, do this. Depending on where you are at, you are personally responsible. I know someone in Texas who spent some time in jail and longer on probation for not carding someone for alcohol. If you card someone who’s of age, they should be flattered. I’m sporting a skullet and a white beard. Getting carded is comedy for me, but it still happens.
