GRRRRR!! Fvcking morons! I go there for dinner tonight, and order a beer as soon as the waitress comes to serve us. I hand her my ID, which I had ready, and she says she has to check it with the manager because it's out of state. Fine. 10 minutes later the manager comes out saying he called the cops to verify it's autenthicity. That's BS, any idiot could hold a NY lisence under a black light and see the HUGE FVCKING seal of NY glowing back at them. Another 10 minutes go by, and the server comes back with my ID saying they can serve me, not with the beer I ordered, just saying that they could serve me. I say the beer had better be free, they can't comp it, so the food had. Mind you I was right in saying that, because it took 20-25 minutes longer than it should have to verify that my I was really 21. The manager came back out, said no, and I left. I am never eating there again!!


Don't go there if you are from out of state!! And even better: don't go there at all.


Calling the cops to verify and id is absurd. Restaurants that serve alcohol should ALL have black lights to look at ID's as I belive most states have some sort of photoluminescent security measure (I know both MI and NY do).

I should have gone to TGIF.


oh, btw, in January, I went to the same Red Robin, with my expired "under 21" ID, and sat at the bar without them putting me through hell to prove my age.

if you're from out of state, how would they know there was a hologram that is revealed by a blacklight?

Man, that's the worst -- getting scrutinized when you're ACTUALLY 21. I hate that. Some bar around here asked me all these questions once, like "what year did you graduate from high school?" and "what's your sign?" SO annoying.

It's better than the $2500+ in fines.

Plus the loss of a job if you're the server or the loss / suspension of your liquor license if you're in CA.

Why didn't they just ask me for another form of ID?

EDIT: I understand their position, it's just weird to arouse suspicion when you're using your own in-state ID.

The sad thing is I LOVE their burgers, they are the best I've ever had. Especially the Royal Red Robin (the one with a fried egg). I hope you have better luck than I did, but I will never grace the scumbags on Carpenter Rd. Ypsilanti with my patronage again.

Yeah, I had my student ID and my SS card on me, as well as a couple of credit cards. Granted none of my other forms of ID had a birthdate, but from now on I should bring my passport to restaurants so they don't give me this kind of sh!t again. It's not like I look too young. (pic was taken last fall when I was 20, I'm the redhead).

Holy crap, what if you don't know that? I mean really, your sign?? I think the bar did the right thing checking your ID, but they took entirely too long, and when they called the cops, that shouldn't have taken that long, also why didn't you tell them about the black light thing?

Of course I know it...you missed the point.

You do look the age to be carded and I would card you. I am also smart enough to look for state seal on the id and don?t need any black light to see it. You should have gotten the managers name and had little chat with the district manager the next day. Calling the law to check an ID is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

Red Robin has ok (overhyped) burgers, the other stuff isn't that good.

It's an Applebee's wanna be.

I have no objection to being ID'd at all. I actually still get a kick out of it, knowing I'm old enough and being able to buy 'drinks.' That's not a bad idea about calling the district manager though, I may give that a try tomorrow before work; it couldn't hurt. Maybe I'll even get a gift certificate or something. If I do, I'm definitely driving to another location to redeem it.

Yeah - That would be a really good idea if you don't want any free "extras" on your burger.

No sh@t. Next time they may want your fingerprints to fax over to the FBI crime lab to check your ID.
