"If you don't let me buy smokes, I won't pay for my petrol!"

[Lace Neil Singer]

I didn't see this myself, for it happened before I started my shift, but it's too funny not to share.

Apparently, this guy came in after filling up his car. He went to the till to pay, and also to buy smokes. My collegue Katie asked him for ID, cuz he looked underage. He didn't have any. She wouldn't serve him smokes. He then said the immortal line referenced in the title, adding that he'd be outside sitting in his car til Katie came to her senses and let him have his smokes.

Katie went round the back and told Tessa the manager. Tessa called the police. The police arrived in record time and told the SC that he had a choice; he could either come into the petrol station and pay for his fuel like a good boy... or he would get a free ride to the police station and be charged with theft. He chose to pay.

PWNED.

Aaahahahaha. Brilliant!

Sounds like somebody got a bad idea of 'haggling'. xD

Don't you just love how an SC thinks a threat like that will have the employee quivering in her shoes and begging him to allow her to do whatever he demanded rather than carrying out his threat?

Aw, I wish he'd try to haggle with the officers too. Besides which, shouldn't he have been ticketed for driving without a license?

[Rapscallion]

UK law specifies that you should drive with your licence, but if you don't have it on you they serve you with a 'producer' - you get seven days to get to a police station with the appropriate document. After that they take it a bit more seriously, should you fail to show.

I suspect he "found" his license when the officer asked for it. And that he is underage for cigarettes.

This. He was seventeen, and UK law states that you have to be eighteen in order to buy smokes.

Was funny one time copper pulled into the same place where I took my smoke breaks on my bike. She asked could she borrow a cig, I said "Sorry, I'll need ID to give you a Cig" she got out her handcuffs, that was good enough for me

[Mystic]

haha, did he actually think he could get away with not paying for petrol?

How do you know she wasn't... y'know... propositioning you?

Seeing as he was actually sitting outside; probably. XD I love it when SCs threaten us, and think we'll actually cave in to their demands.

[eltf177]

My, the stupid is overwhelming! My brain hurts!

[PepperElf]

and got pwned

I just wish the police were as quick the half a dozen other times I get a violent customer.

Well, technically, it was my collegue Katie and manager Tessa who deserve the kudos. XD It gave me a good laugh when I started my shift tho, and I had a smile on my face all day thinking about it.
