Restaurants in your regular rotation

[Bill Robertson]

A bit off topic but it does concern restaurants on my list. The sheriffs office went up NW Exp a couple weeks ago. Since then we've been told our favorite bartender at Buffalo Wild Wings, a bartender at Chilis and a bartender at Hideaway all got fired for not properly IDing.

They are under new ownership but this seems odd considering they are opening a 2nd location in the new eExpress opening in Moore soon. Why would they open in a competitor's convenience store?

Actually now that you say this I think I was mistakenly recalling it as OnCue when in fact it was eExpress. I thought it was interesting at the time, because he made it seem like they'd purchased the existing brand more than just specifically that store on Classen, with the intention of using that branding on sandwich counters inside the stores in the chain.

Wonder what the exact circumstances were? I thought there was a law recently passed that basically said if you truly look over 21, the bartender/cashier/whatever is not required to ID you.

Guessing it was not ID-ing a person under 21 and selling them alcohol. Sheriff's office does these stings on a regular basis.

You are talking about the Trump burger joint I am guessing?

Yeah, I figured, but wondered since everybody in Sean Cummings got carded last time we were there, even though some looked older than us, and the server explained that ABLE was cracking down, so they are carding *everybody*.

We hit the NW Exp restaurants a lot. What we're hearing regularly is they hit Hooters, Buffalo Wild Wings, Hideaway, Chili's, Louie's and ? other places we don't go. It was 2 males assumed to be 50ish and a female that looked "at least mid to late 20s". But her ID had a date making her 19. At least one bartender that we know enough to talk to outside of work says she IDd the woman but didn't really do the math because she looked old enough.

We saw someone at the table next to us at Bubbas 33 just this week get IDed by the waitress that we thought was obviously at least in his 40s and possibly in his 50s. He was with what looked to be 3 teenagers.

We got IDed at Olive Garden in Lawton on Thursday. There were three of us that were sharing a bottle of wine. The ages of the three of us are 72, 69, and 66. The waiter said sorry but it's the state law and he had to do it. He actually looked at our ID very closely.

What is funny is everyone thought that. We looked high and low through the statutes and couldn't find it. May have been an ABLE rule but was not state law that we could find.

Probably just restaurant owners wanting their servers/bartenders to check everyone’s ID’s instead of making the judgment call on their own. Makes sense I guess but funny when they ID people who are 4 times the age requirement.

Turns out Odell's Law (you don't have to ID anybody that is obviously over 21) doesn't take effect until November:
