This whole attitude is not limited to people wanting you to break company policy or violate contracts.
Many of them want you to actually break the law. I cannot tell you how many people have gotten mad at me for (politely) refusing to sell them alcohol when I asked for ID and they didn't have any. For those of you wondering, at least here in Florida, if you are asked for ID and don't have it, even if you are of legal drinking age, the server/bartender/merchant cannot sell you alcohol by law. While the actual part of the law is different than selling to a minor, the effect is about the same: probably termination from your job, definite court date, probably fines, possible jail time.
Sorry, Baby Face, but I ain't risking my job, my freedom, and my wallet just because you're too dumb or lazy to carry your damn ID with you. Piss off.
