What does that even mean? How impossibly subjective is that? I can see why many places now have a "card everyone" policy if staff are meant to try to make judgement calls like that. Ive seen high school students who I would take for much older, and 40 somethings who look more like teenagers to me.... (My cousin Ian was being asked for ID well into his 40's... He used to show them a photo of his wife and 3 kids...lol)

If the staff member in question says "looked over 25 to ME" how can anyone second guess that? Ridiculous.
