Sara	Heres the thing, it may not be such a huge deal to lie to a store or whatnot, if that's where you're applying at, BUT when you have a job, you need to do your taxes.. so you'd pretty much be lying to the government which is a HUGE deal. Also every job I've ever had has checked my social security number and ID. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rtfm	If and when the management of the company finds out, they'd likely fire you. And you could probably forget about getting a good reference from them for your next job. It's not worth the lie.
