Pub forced to serve 15-year-old because of software
Quote:
Wayne Hayes, previously believed to be 15, boldly ordered a pint of Carlsberg and when asked to produce ID instead loaded up Microsoft’s facial recognition software How-old.net.
Landlord Bill McKay said: “To be fair to the lad, after we ran extensive face matching tests, it verified that he was indeed middle-aged.
However, the mood turned sour when children claiming to be friends of Hayes were denied service after the software recognised them as only 15.
“I must admit I was thrown by his school blazer and his voice not being broken yet, but I bowed to the computer’s superior knowledge, apologised and pulled the pint he took small, pained sips from for the next hour.”
