  • We can't take that as ID

    Friday was not that busy at the Litter Box. I went in to help out with the front end from 9-5 b/c both me and L were thinking business would pick up. It really didn't - we were kinda steady in spurts, then it'd get slow again.

    I finally got to go on my lunch around 1:45 . . . clocked out, went to the back to discover my bottle of water that was in the freezer had stayed too long and was too solid to break up into crunchy icy goodness. Next best thing: a Diet Dr. Pepper.

    So, I go up front to get one from the cooler and go find an open register. Registers 5 & 6 were running (I was on 3, the Express but had closed it off for break when Rochelle came back) so I go to Register 5 and wait behind 3 others who were all waiting for this clueless chick.

    Poor LaDonna (who helps me out w/the HBC trucks now - she was the unlucky soul who got stuck w/this moron) . . . she was waiting for Rochelle to come with a key to void out an entire order.

    Moron is rummaging through her purse, mumbling and showing some type of picture ID card. . . . Rochelle came over and told her that they couldn't accept that with a check and asked if she had another form of payment with her at the moment. Moron didn't - so the order had to be voided and an overflowing basketfull of stuff had to pushed to the side since Moron said she'd be back soon to pick it up.

    When it was finally my turn to pay, LaDonna told me what kind of ID the woman had: a Relator's License.

    Turned out this woman tried to write a check, but did NOT have her driver's license. We require either a driver's license or state-issued ID card because we have to enter that number in to process the check. This woman had neither and tried to use her Realtor's License as ID.

    And this was't a young woman either. She had to be in her 50's easily, so she had to know about what kind of ID is required to cash a check.

    Now where on Earth would a Realtor's License be considered acceptable form of ID to pay by check???

    You know, when I clicked on this thread, I was willing to lay down $20 on somebody trying to use a tattoo as valid ID.

        Back when I worked at the Wal-Mart that sold alcohol, I had any number of people try to show me things that weren't valid ID. My favorite was this one kid who kept showing me a high school ID to try to get his smokes (his mom was with him, too). I had to continuously repeat that the ID needed a birthdate on it, as well as being government-issued, so his HS ID failed on both counts. Nevermind the people who tried showing me their Sam's Club/Costco/BJ's cards or, heaven forbid, club memberships.

            I keep getting people showing me their work IDs and/or college IDs. One person had a NJ county ID that clearly stated "not to be used for the purchase of alcohol". Anyone wanna guess what she was buying?

              As an ID with photo and signature is required here, I've seen my share of these stories. The worst was a business ID that was obviously with an IBM typewriter and DIY laminator. I don't think a bartender would serve him with that one.

                    Irv, I love you. And The Simpsons.

                    I wonder which I love more.

                        People try to use their work ID's to cash checks or to do returns without receipts. For each, we require them to put in their Id's, usually.

                        I try to say that I need to put in the number to process the order, but they don't listen.

                            Let's see, shopping cart FULL of stuff, had a realtor's license but NO driver's license (how the hell can you sell real estate and take customers to the properties and such without driving them???) and was paying with a check? Trust me, that check would not have been worth the paper it was printed on.

                              Best attempt at ID ever:

                              "I'll ring up my best friend, and she can tell you I'm 18!"
