(With a nod to customersruinmylife for the thread title, uttered by one of his SCs)
One of my colleagues told me about this, which happened yesterday (Saturday) morning before I got on shift. I can't quite decide whether to be glad I wasn't there for this, or disappointed that I wasn't there to see it.......
Woman comes in and attempts to make a purchase with a personal check.
Without ID.
Avril - the morning cashier - informs the woman that we can't accept a check without ID.
Woman says she forgot her ID and demands that Avril accept the check anyway.
Avril stands her ground and says she can't do it.
Woman starts getting belligerent, so The Don - our GM - is summoned.
The Don backs up Avril and says yet again that we can NOT accept a check without ID, period.
Woman explodes.
SC: WELL, THEN I'M GONNA CALL THE POLICE, HAVE THEM CALL THE REGISTRY, AND THEY'LL HAVE THE REGISTRY CALL YOU TO CONFIRM THAT I AM WHO I SAY I AM!!!!!!!!
She then stomped out the door and got on her cell phone.
A few minutes later she stomped back in.
SC: They aren't going to do it!!
Gee, no shit lady. Brilliant move to ACTUALLY call the cops and effectively tell them that you're driving without your license. By the way, how did you expect them to verify who you were over the phone without your ID? You should consider yourself lucky that all they did was laugh you off the phone instead of coming over to arrest you for making a false complaint or just for wasting their time.
Plus, even if by some miracle the police didn't laugh at you, the Registry sure as HELL would have.
She left without buying anything.
(For those not in the US, "the Registry" is the Registry of Motor Vehicles, which issues driver's licenses and government IDs in the state of Massachusetts).
