While buying some wine a couple of years ago (I was 49 at the time), I actually was asked for ID by the cashier. 
Apparently, they had some sort of inspection that week and were dinged for not asking ID from younger people. In a typical overreaction, they asked for ID from everyone.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Have they been on a management training course recently?
Perhaps not.. that sort of announcement is usually only made on a Friday before a bank holiday weekend.

Ah, this one was made the afternoon before our annual performance related bonuses were due to be paid.

Normality is restored.. it sounds like the bonus funds have been "invested" wisely. Get yourself prepared for "employee mindfulness" training

How?
[edit]
I always like to know how - it adheres to my world view that the majority of managers don't deserve their remunerative salaries or, on occasion, their actual jobs.

Well, we agree on a pub, go to it, buy some beer, drink it.

You have no heart: someone is struggling in confusion (maybe I know him) and you're just thinking about eating

- Go to shop and buy fruit salad, cucumber & mint and lemonade. Chop
- Set up trestle table in the garden, furnish with jug and ice
- Attire yourself in blazer/ flannels and straw-hat of choice

At least for me this is a big question 
A very big international company offered me to have an interview, and I would be very happy .... but it is quite far from my place; the option are:
-drive for 6 hours, have the interview and then drive back for other 6 hours, 200 euro
-take a plane, 3-4 hours per trip (connection delay), much more comfortable, 500 euro
By the way my monthly wage is around 2000 euro, so the costs could be important
The question is... in case I should opt for the plane, should I ask the company for a reimbursing policy or just take all the risk on my shoulders without mentioning the costs?
Thanks for your suggestions

Ask if video or conference call interview is an option
