So I was at my counter a couple weeks ago when this kid comes up to the counter. He wants a pre-filled CO2 tank for a paintball gun, and the adapter that goes with it. I deal with this a lot, underage guys wanting paintball equipment, and I assumed (Yes I know the saying on that one, you'd think I'd learn by now) he had a parent somewhere in the store. Well, he picks his stuff off of the shelf and comes up to the register.
Me: You eighteen? (Note, I am a little informal for those my age or younger"
Kid: Yeah
The kid looked nowhere near 18, and the two girls standing at the counter as well that I had been talking to said so. I ask to see ID and tell him he has to be 18 for this stuff. What does he do? He turns to the girls and asks them if they'll buy it for him. They say no, he leaves defeated.
Now there's two things about this: One, had the girls said yes, I still wouldn't have sold it to him, because HE ASKED THEM RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. Second, the two girls I was talking to, were my sister and one of her friends. Next time, get a parent.
