I loathe the British retail scheme on not selling alcohol or cigarettes to under eighteens which is to not check the IDs of people who are "visibly over 25". I just feel they could reframe the "visibly over 25" in a less hurtful way. Maybe change it to the "over 25 but looking good on it" or something

I had a woman card me the other day at the self-checkout tills. Her colleague was like did you think he is under 18 to which she said no, but it can't hurt to check.

Better though than the woman who started to ask me for my ID, then looked at me and stopped talking...
