Well it is the law, that people in your party have to be checked if they aren't your kid, aka if your wife falls into that percentile that doesn't look 30 or over or like under 8 years old. Maybe they got violations for not checking peoples' ids' so they have to check everybody's every time they come around.

You know how cops check stores? They hire an underage teenager in good standing to go into stores and try to buy alcohol, and if they don't get carded well then the officers go in and bust them.

So that could be the reason why. Or maybe you and your wife are young and good looking enough that they really can't tell if you are over 21 haha. I'm only 22 and there are things I don't get carded for anymore, like I've bought beer at 7-11 and haven't been carded, I've bought cigs for friends and haven't gotten carded, I've bought video games for mature people only and haven't gotten carded. It doesn't bother me any because it all depends on the person. I have gotten carded while buying an M rated video game before and it's not a big deal, even though I feel like I clearly look older than 17. Sometimes I go to the movies to see an R rated one and still get carded.

Like I said though some businesses just get caught red handed not carding people they should be and then they have to card everybody, everytime, no matter what, to avoid further sanctions. Just gotta deal with it.
