As I understood my Swedish was so off that they couldn't trust my Finnish passport or driving licence to be trustworthy. They claimed they could not verify my age.

I was in over 40 in this exchange.

Did they think the majority of Finns who go through Pakkoruotsi remember anything more than "jag heter homopeter"? 😂 Still seems weird, Systembolaget has always accepted my US driver's license (this was additionally before "real ID"; it basically was like McLovin's fake ID), despite the fact that they're not supposed to accept anything other than a passport for people from outside of the EU. And I looked young then, barely 20 years old.

I would have fought them harder instead of taking folköl instead. Regardless, sorry that happened to you, Finns are our brödrafolk, and it's a shame if the cashier forgot that.
