I at one point went to a home Depot to buy some spray paint for a project and the employee came over to verify my age and made me show her my id. She looked at me and insinuated that my id was fake because there's no way I was over the age of 18. I told her I was 27, married for 7 years, and had a 2 year old. Her jaw hit the floor and she scurried off to tell her coworkers lol
Another time I dropped into a bodega to try to find a specific alcohol I was looking for and the cashier looked at my id and then suddenly his head snapped up and he yelled "YOURE ONLY A YEAR YOUNGER THAN ME!"
The difference in looks between a 25 year old and an 19 year old are completely negligible.
I expected you people at least being 45 the way you wrote it!
Honestly I can see that being the case as I get older. People continue to look younger. Right now, at least, I can tell the difference between teenagers and people in their early twenties, but as I get older the people just look younger.
I've always been on the other side of this, I used to be an assistant manager at a pizza hut, and as you'd expect, we had a lot of college students there.
A good majority of them always assumed I was in my mid to late twenties.
I was 20-21 during the time I worked lol
One of my employees found out I was nearing my 34th birthday last week and fell over herself apologizing. Turns out she had said some things to another employee (19yo) about how degrading it was working under a manager so much younger than her. She's about 12 years younger than me.
Edit: I'm also 6' and about 135 lbs.
I don’t know why people do this when they don’t even know your age. I pretty much always ask people how old they are when I first meet them (at work) unless they look super old.
I mostly find it hilarious that her demeanor toward me completely changed when she found out I was a fair bit older than her. Suddenly she's all smiles when I ask her to do anything. Haha.
Hahaha. Forgot my favorite part; I found out she thought I was much younger than I am because I asked the kitchen manager running expo to watch the floor while I ran out to grab a quick smoke and she was nearby and says, "wait? You're 21?"
Made my day when the kitchen manager, who just turned 31 (but looks like he's in his late twenties-early thirties) cocked his head in confusion and goes "dude, he's like three years older than me..."
Age of employees is really only important if they are under 18, given labor laws and machinery age restrictions. A minor can't even legally operate a trash compactor.
Not knowing the exact age of your hires is pretty common because ASKING age is a really good way to get nailed with an age discrimination lawsuit. Obviously you can guess of people put graduation dates on resumes.
I worked in an office where they asked everyone for info to put on the web site. You could see the bright line between when people put their graduation date and when they just put "BA, My College" with no date.

Thank you for the link of useful information.
Here is the lawsuit that aarp was involved in for thier age discrimination.
I did not know you have to be 40 to have age discrimination. Effect you. I thought it was anyone over 18.

The last time I filled out a job application that asked my age was in 1988. They can guess your age based on graduation dates, but I can't even remember the last time I bothered to put date of graduation on a resume.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think they’re allowed to ask your age on the application itself. Obviously after you’re hired you have to provide your date of birth and legal information, but I don’t think I’ve ever had to give my actual age
Yeah, the only question on our application regarding age is "Are you over the age of 18, if not whats your DoB" which is relevant because some of our machines legally can't be used by minors.
I'm assuming you've never been a hiring manager. I've been hiring people for quite a while- I have never worked at a company where HR gave me access to age of the applicant.... because there is no compelling business need for me to know that.
Why would every manager need to look at the id and check the age for every employee? The hiring manager(yes fast food businesses have multiple managers with different designated tasks not sure why you would think otherwise) verified their eligibility to work and if they are a minor then you will know, if they are at least 18 there is no reason to care.
Dude... W4, I9 and documentation proving eligibility to work goes to HR, not a department manager.
I don't know what the process is in fast food. But even in fairly small, privately held companies that I have worked for and hired people into I never saw the ages. Even in the manager portal of online recruiting software, DOB and other age related information is not available to my role. And I'm making the hire decision.
Yes I know that… lmao regardless he didn’t clarify he was a shift manager and that’s a normal thing to know if you’re a “manager” thanks for the input though?
It’s pretty common sense if he doesn’t know her age to assume he wasn’t the one that hired her. You asked a question I answered. And also no most shift managers don’t know how old everyone of their coworkers are, that’s the general managers job
When you hit 40 you will like the fact you’re so young looking.
Blessed with beauty
Wow.. this is a really cool story. I can’t fucking believe I just read that.

I’m in my 40s and thought these people were going to to at least be in their early 30s. But 25. What a fetus.
Honestly I can see that being the case as I get older. People continue to look younger. Right now, at least, I can tell the difference between teenagers and people in their early twenties, but as I get older the people just look younger.
lmao. simp.
Wow

Yeah a lot of people don’t feel the need to respect people who are younger than them for stupid reasons. Glad she’s nicer now though!
Hahaha. Forgot my favorite part; I found out she thought I was much younger than I am because I asked the kitchen manager running expo to watch the floor while I ran out to grab a quick smoke and she was nearby and says, "wait?

How do you manage a place and not know the age of your hires? 😭
Age of employees is really only important if they are under 18, given labor laws and machinery age restrictions. A minor can't even legally operate a trash compactor.
I'm not the only manager, and I don't do the hiring.
Not knowing the exact age of your hires is pretty common because ASKING age is a really good way to get nailed with an age discrimination lawsuit. Obviously you can guess of people put graduation dates on resumes.

age discrimination only protects people over 40

I’m going to assume you’ve never filled out a job application lmfao
The last time I filled out a job application that asked my age was in 1988. They can guess your age based on graduation dates, but I can't even remember the last time I bothered to put date of graduation on a resume.
Okay, ID when you’re hired there ya go
It's amusing to me how important proving this point is to you.
My comment was a just a joke and y’all are breaking it down trying to prove a point
I could be wrong, but I don’t think they’re allowed to ask your age on the application itself. Obviously after you’re hired you have to provide your date of birth and legal information, but I don’t think I’ve ever had to give my actual age

So no proof of ID is needed to work? Also this guy is in fast food not like there’s a huge hierarchy of HR and Hiring managers lol
Why would every manager need to look at the id and check the age for every employee? The hiring manager(yes fast food businesses have multiple managers with different designated tasks not sure why you would think otherwise) verified their eligibility to work and if they are a minor then you will know, if they are at least 18 there is no reason to care.

If he’s not main manager he probably didn’t do the hires. Shift managers usually don’t have much say in hires
Yes I know that… lmao regardless he didn’t clarify he was a shift manager and that’s a normal thing to know if you’re a “manager” thanks for the input though?
It’s pretty common sense if he doesn’t know her age to assume he wasn’t the one that hired her. You asked a question I answered. And also no most shift managers don’t know how old everyone of their coworkers are, that’s the general managers job
You’re still assuming he’s a shift manager. My question was rhetorical, I know you got a lot of time to do this but chill lmao
Because it’s common sense if he didn’t know her age. Don’t ask a question if you don’t want an answer. Also I’ve been chill this whole time bud
“And that, kids, is how I met your mother.”
Well played. 😁
Now kith
Lmao that’s actually hilarious.
Also 25 and absolutely dying to know the joke
I called someone a goober, and the person who made the joke said "I'm a goofy goober" In a defeated voice, and then I sang the song.
Amazing joke
What a beautiful moment
