    I can do this all night.

    Oh boy, my first SC at my new job! It's been relatively quiet, and this couple in particular certainly kept with that, but, you know, most people make at least a little bit of an effort to communicate.

    M for man, W for woman

    Me: Hey, how are you all doing today?
    SCM: -grunt-
    SCW: -stare- ...SM ordered something for us.
    Me: Okay, what did he order for you?

    -stare-

    I go to the back and ask SM. We figure it out. I go back, ring it up. SCW whips out a checkbook. Great.

    Me: Okay, I just need to see your ID with your check, please.
    SCW: -stare-
    SCM: -grunt-
    Me: ...I just need to see your ID, please.
    SCW: -mumble-
    Me: Your ID, please? I need to see it with the check.

    And then they both just stared at me. Two minutes pass on my computer clock.

    ASM: You guys got an ID on you? We need them for checks.
    SCM: -grunt-

    ASM is then distracted by another customer to ring up. They keep on staring at me.

    Me: I can't process your check without an ID.

    They keep staring at me. So I stare back. Two hours left on my shift, hell, I figure I can do this all night. Five fucking minutes pass before SCW finally pulls out her ID. I'm not sure what they expected me to do, but like hell if I was going to ask them for an ID again. I heaved a great sigh when they left.

    ASM: That was...Epic. You enter contests for staring or something?

      Maybe that counts as an inteligent conversation in SC land!

      Or maybe you stared them! (www.instantrimshot.com)

        That is reeeeally strange! Had they fallen asleep? My grandfather does that sometimes when somebody talks to him for too long and he is bored by it. Maybe they just needed a nap

            My bet is they were hoping that if they ignored the question and stared long enough, that the OP would cave and finish the transaction without the ID. It worked for figuring out what they were getting....

              Probably, yes. I hope they try the same approach to a house fire.

                    You must have cats. That sounds like something I would do, adding in a slight smile.
