Today I bought some "Shoe Goo" at Wal Mart. Its a glue type substance you use to repair holes and worn spots in shoe soles. I bought it to give some extra life to my falling apart Vans.
When I checked out, the cashier asked me for my ID. It seems odd to ID check someone for buying glue, but I think the kids sniff the fumes to get high or something like that. The idea that I can still pass for a teenager at 27 was pretty flattering, though. But, then as I was leaving the store, I thought maybe they're required to do this with everybody. I wonder if they even have to check your ID if you're a white-haired 80 year old lady? Can anyone who works in retail confirm this? Maybe I shouldn't get too excited about thinking I look young for my age.
