Shortly after the law was passed, there was an attempt- perhaps lighthearted- that would exempt folks 100 years old or older from having to produce ID when they bought beer. It did not pass.
I've noticed a recent trend in some of the chain grocery stores (since they're now allowed to sell wine) that require you to remove your DL from your wallet, then scan the back of it so that they can verify that the clerk actually asked you for ID.
On several occasions while dining out, I have overheard 40ish year old women gleefully exclaim to their husband or date after being carded by the server, "See, even that waiter doesn't think I look old enough to drink!"

that is a pretty bad beat though. tough way to get banned. you basically called security on yourself, ouch!
A tough way to get banned? I don't think so. Sounds more like a sure-fire way to get nixed.
OP goes into a shop with his date to get a bottle of whiskey. Date doesn't have her ID so OP tries to buy it and is refused. Clerk and "three or four" other clerks try in vain to explain to OP why he can't buy it. OP has a 38 year old version of a temper tantrum and knocks merchandise off the shelf and onto the floor. Security is present and forceably restrain him from causing further damage. OP is issued a misdemeanor citation- likely for willful destruction of property- and is banned from CET properties.
OP is fortunate that those plastic toys weren't Tiffany lamps. I'm also quite skeptical that OP is the one that had security summoned.
