Tech Glitch Costs Friends Night Out in London
London Nightclub Entry Denied Due to Apple ID Glitch A group of friends experienced an unusual incident last Friday night when they were refused entry to a London nightclub. The reason? A discrepancy in the birth year displayed on one of the attendee's Apple ID. The young woman, Jos, recounted the event, explaining that the bouncer asked for IDs. Upon presenting her ID, the bouncer requested her passport, which she didn't have immediately. When Jos tried to show her Apple ID as proof, the bouncer pointed out the birth year of 1994, a date significantly earlier than her actual birth year. "I'm not born in 1994, nor did I enter that in there," Jos stated, expressing her bewilderment. Despite a trip back to the hotel to retrieve passports, the group was still charged a hefty entry fee. The promoter's dismissive response, "You should be lucky you even got invited," further fueled Jos's frustration. The incident highlights the potential for technological errors to cause inconvenience and highlights the importance of accurate personal information online. The incident serves as a reminder of the occasional frustrations encountered in everyday life, even in seemingly simple situations like going out for a night.
