I just love when I follow the rules, and the law, and customers get pissy about it. I had a lady (I use the term EXTREMELY loosely) come in this AM, ask for a pack of smokes. We'll call her ID Bitch (IDB).
IDB: Camel Crush please.
ME: Can I see your ID please?
IDB: I don't have it **huge exasperated sigh** Never mind I'll have to go back to **grocery store down the road** to get them!
ME: Alright. Sorry about that.
IDB: **starts to leave, stops, and goes from ok to gtfo in about ten seconds** How old do you have to be before they stop carding you anyway?
ME: Well I think the general rule is if you LOOK under 27, we have to card you (Note: my manager told me when I relayed the story that it's now 40)
IDB: **goes into bitch fit mode** I'm twenty six! I shouldn't have to have my ID! I'm married and have kids! **blargle blargle hiss spit bitch, finally leaves**
I looked at (new) co-worker A, who was on till 2, and we both shook our heads, and agreed that she was stupid for driving without an ID. Then we watched her peel out of the driveway in her minivan. Really classy. A few minutes later, I'm in the back room, talking to my manager to see what she wants me to do for chores, and A comes back and says:
A: B, your "friend" was just back! She came in and slammed her card on the counter, and I was like, "Okay, do you want your cigs?" and she said "No, I got them at g*d damn **grocery store**!!!!! I just wanted to showyou to prove that I'm twenty siz, and you tell HER (me) that, too, since she's ID'd me every time I come in!" so I was like, okay then, and she left.
Cue shocked looks and head shaking from manager and me. My mind is still boggled by the fact that she came back and literally slammed her ID card on the counter like that. Is it REALLY that big of a deal that you look younger than you are? Most women would take it as a very high compliment! Do us all a favor, and don't come back to my store. I WILL ID YOU. That is all. **fumes a bit**
