I agree, my comment wasn't meant to be taken that it was a good thing. I don't even look that old for my age. The first time I didn't get carded I was 21 and wearing a suit from a funeral... then it was like another 5 years until I didn't get carded again.

Enforcement obviously needs to be improved.

I always thought it was crazy when I worked at pharmacy how I would have to sell cigarettes to someone that was of age, even if I just literally saw a 14 year old hand them a $20 for the butt's right in the doorway. There should be something allowing for sales discretion and punishing companies that force sales.
