DD and I just had to run an errand and then we stopped off at Whole Foods to get something for dinner. They had Marin Brewing Co. Starbrew in stock, so I bought one and on the way out, the checker (a very nice, beautifully tattooed woman) asked to see some ID.

My immediate reactions was a feeling of guilt - what did I do wrong? What does she know about me? And then I realized why she was asking.

I turn 40 in December and had a 10 year old kid with me, so it was probably pretty clear I didn't need to be carded. But then she said something like "Treat people the way you'd like to be treated" and I thought it was pretty nice.
