I don't understand how political correctness comes into a conversation about being carded. Policies and laws around limiting purchases to people above a certain age are about liability (or protecting youth from itself) and have nothing to do with political correctness. From Wikipedia, political correctness (politically correct) is used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended to avoid offense or disadvantage to members of particular groups in society. PC has nothing to do with liability laws that drive businesses policies regarding who they card. It could be argued that older people being offended by being carded makes these liability policies politically incorrect. Personally, I don't mind political correctness as I tend not to want to offend or disadvantage others, just as I don't want others doing it to me. Isn't that the golden rule...do unto others etc. I do get tired of how litigious our society has become and how far you have to go to CYA.
