Questionable ID Stories

[Jester]

I think the funniest ID attempt I have seen lately was the girl who said she did not have her ID with her, but wondered if I would accept a photocopy of it. Why she had a photocopy of her ID, but not her actual ID, is beyond me.

Actually, just this week I had an amusing one. This girl I carded at the bar said she didn't have her ID, but asked if it would be all right if her roommate picture mailed her a photo of her ID to her phone. Novel, to be fair...but still....no.

I usually don't have very much trouble with ID's, even if the number is already on their checks. Although I do have two SC's with ID's:

First one got pissed off when I asked for her ID, she flashed it at me then put it back into her purse. Didn't like it when I told her I needed to see it long enough to write down the number, the expiration date, AND make sure it was her. Thought she was going to snatch the check out of my hands and walk out when I asked for her phone number for the check.

Second one really wasn't so bad, happened earlier in the year. Was picking up a bunch of frames, was paying by check. Upon looking at her ID, the thing had been expired for two years. She claimed that it was taken the week before without any problems -- of COURSE it was, even the new hires aren't THAT stupid to take an obviously expired ID for a possibly stolen check. o.o

I asked for ID from a guy for cigs and he said he didn't have his. I told him no sale unless I see an ID. He then said he had his Dad's ID then showed it to me I told him no, he got pissed. He told me his birthdate, then told me to figure out how old he was. I told him that I figured I wasn't selling to him unless he showed me an ID. So he threw a fit and left.

I mean really why get mad over having to show an ID.

Had one recently. Guy comes in the store around 11 PM, place is slow. Brings up a six pack, I ask for I.D, he digs through a cluttered notebook to find it. (Twas a bit odd.)

He hands it to me, and there are several things odd:

1. It's missing several state symbols.
2. The font was waaaaaaaaaaaay wrong. (Like, DIY computer fake.)
3. It was flimsy. (You could bend it.)

I called for a manager, and he decided to just grab the I.D. back and bolt. Oh, well.
