"I've been shopping here for TWENTY years!!!"

[Bramblerose]

REcently I was at a register that claimed that if you paid with not-cash it was *fed* law to show ID. Are they bluffing, or did I miss something?

"I've been shopping here for TWENTY YEARS ...

Well then, you must be relieved to have finally reached the check out after all this time.

Some day, when I open my store, I'm buying a banner that says only Grand Opening, and hanging it on the wall behind the registers, cause I'm quirky like that, and so I can turn to it when anyone who says, "I've been shopping here eleventy billion years!" I can say, "Really? We only just opened yesterday." to shortcut people I've never seen before.

[taxguykarl]

I don't care who they are ID is required, get over it. I hate the "I've been coming here for XXX years" thing. Nobody cares. And my favorite is when they say that and the place hasn't been open that long lol Idiots.

Same here.
I've even sent my long-time steadies back to their cars for an ID. Sorry, but there is a clause in the PATRIOT Act requiring it; furthermore, my office is a high-volume operation with enough clients that they start to run together.

*sigh* If you've been coming here for that long then you have absolutly no excuse. You should know better tham most customers what the policies are. NEXT!

"We've only been here fifteen years. See you next week."

The story would have been even better if that was the case

[Becks]

"We've only been here fifteen years. See you next week."

If only...

wait.... they were nice to her and let her write the check without a DL?

so why the F is she bitching again? she got what she wanted for crying out loud.... what a bitch

Just remember, if it makes sense, it's not allowed.™

"Cum-guzzling thunder cunt" sounds more suitable to me.

I might have to use that one some day.

Well then, you must be relieved to have finally reached the check out after all this time.

"This is the ONLY store that EVER asks for my dl when I write a check!! I've been shopping here for twenty years."

If she has been shopping there for twenty years, and having to have her ID every time she writes a check, why did she not bring it? She should know better.

(I know, she's an SC that never learns.)

[Pagan]

Side note: At least in AZ, Maricopa country area not having your ID on you can be a detainable offense last i checked, if a cop asks for yours and you do not have one, they can detain you until someone can bring it or they can take you home to retrieve it.

I absolutely love your sheriff! And I'm not being sarcastic.

REcently I was at a register that claimed that if you paid with not-cash it was *fed* law to show ID. Are they bluffing, or did I miss something?

Not that I'm aware of. Of course, I can't really blame them. Probably to counter the laws that SCs are always making up!

[tropicsgoddess]

Rules are rules lady and I'm glad you'll take your petulant sorry ass somewhere else.

[42_42_42]

I totally do not understand why people get so upset when a cashier wants to verify their id (who goes out of the house without their DL, especially if they are going to the store and not paying cash?). I always THANK the cashier for checking.

[Peppergirl]

wait.... they were nice to her and let her write the check without a DL?

so why the F is she bitching again? she got what she wanted for crying out loud.... what a bitch

This is EXACTLY what went through my mind when I read it, too.

Scenario 1. SC bitches and moans and whines and wants policy broken for her because SHE forgot her DL. Management holds firm, and she moans, whines and bitches some more and leaves, with threats to never return.

Scenario 2. SC bitches and moans and whines and wants policy broken for her because SHE forgot her DL. Management CAVES and makes an exception, and she moans, whines and bitches some more, with threats never to return.

And this, my friends, is proof positive that SC's are never, ever happy, regardless of whether or not they get their way.

What a twat.

[Blade_Raver]

The two typical responses to that SC..

"Can I have that in writing?"

or

"See you next week."

Take your pick.

[bankworking]

What I don't get is that I get that same type of response from people wanting to withdrawal money from their bank account.

Excuse me? Do you really WANT me to withdrawal money from your account for anyone who asks without first verifying that it's really you?

[Dark Psion]

I would have asked her if she needs help carrying everything to her car?
