Allow me to clarify. I am making a reference to the bars in my college town of Pullman, WA (Pop 24,000, 17,000 of which are students).
The bars card at the door, and no matter where you go in this town, especially on weekends, kids will try to get in with fakes, and the bouncers take them away. People get in one at a time, when the bouncer lets them in, so it isn't an issue with needing more people at the bar. It's an issue with the kids thinking that fakes will get them into the bar.
Our town and the university has been bent on shutting down the campus bars (Again, for clarification, NOT literally on campus, but on Greek row, off University property, but still on College hill). Because of the added pressure from the town, the university, and the liquor control board, the bars, and the local stores who sell alcohol all card hard. The corner store makes their employees card everyone, and hold up the ID to a camera to show they've checked it. The owners of these businesses know the risks of underagers, and are working their damndest to make sure it does't happen. But, like all things, it sometimes does.
For some reason, these kids who are intelligent enough to get into college can't seem to accept the fact that a fake with their picture won't get them in. Especially when they look 19 and it says they were born in 1946!
