Mr Anus and the ID Arsehole

[Lace Neil Singer]

Sounds like a weird, twisted version of a Harry Potter book, doesn't it? XD Anyway, I just had to tell you lot about these two SCs and it seemed more hilarious to do it this way. Both happened during the late shift.


Mr Anus.

MA: I can't remember what pump I'm on.
Me: Whereabouts is your car?
MA: Over there. *points*
Me: The black car?
MA: *in very huffy tone* It is NOT black. My car is FOREST GREEN.
Me: I'm sorry, it's just that it's dark and it looks black.
MA: I TOLD YOU ALREADY, SO NOW YOU CAN BE QUIET. MY CAR IS FOREST GREEN!

I served him in silence. What a git. The next customer said loudly, "What a tool," causing Mr Anus to glare at him and me to be in actual pain having to suppress my laughter. Honestly, who gives a toss what colour your car is? And every dark colour looks black at night under dim lighting in a petrol station.


ID Arsehole.

I hate the Think 25 scheme so much cuz of all the SCs it produces, however it is the law and if anyone wants to bitch about it, they can just sod off to Trading Standards and bitch at them. I get so many young bitchlings and bastardbrats whining to me about being carded; however, most of the time it stays as a whine. Not with ID Arsehole, however.

IA: I want a pack of twenty Mayfair.
Me: Can I see some ID?
IA: I don't fing believe this. Every fing time I come in here, one of you bitches does this. I'm fing eighteen, you f c so give me my f cigarettes.

At this point, my collegue Jim stepped in. Jim is quite a bit older than me, and will always step in when a customer is having a go. He told ID Arsehole to leave before he called security. ID Arsehole responded with yet more abuse, so Jim pressed the security button.

ID Arsehole was eventually removed by security, still screaming abuse.

It takes a whole ten seconds to produce your ID. It's not that hard. Besides, if you're truly old enough, why is it such a big deal? I don't get it. For the life of me, I don't f**king get it! As for Mr. Anus, I would've given him the silent treatment too! Thank goodness for great customers like the one behind him!

[Magpie]

So every time he comes in he gets carded? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and expecting different results. And at 18??? Just because YOU cared a lot that you passed the magic birthday, and paid a lot of attention to it, it doesn't follow that other people can tell at all.

I will never understand why people who are at or just above the legal age bitch about being carded. If you are 18, there's a good chance you can be mistaken for younger. If you're 58, I'd agree it's a little ridiculous. (But I'd still show my ID without bitching.)

See, where I work our policy is "if you own a pulse, you get carded." So, owing to the total dearth of shopping zombies recently, everyone who buys an age-restricted item (beer, cough medicine, compressed air, M-rated video game, etc.) gets to show their ID. The customers are surprisingly less than sucky about this (with the occasional rare exception). The older ones seem to take it as a compliment.

Usually, when I see a bitchfest like that I assume that they're underage and think throwing a bitchfest will get them what they want.

If the magical ID card is eventually produced, which it often is, I die a little inside.

[Red_Dazes]

...I personally like being carded... I don't know why. And normally if I am buying any sort of age restricted material I already have my ID in my hand waiting to give to the clerk before they even ask.

...what a tool.

Heh...I'm 34...I don't mind being carded either. Even when I know it's just because they card everyone. (I haven't been at a restaurant in a while, but liquor stores, yeah.)

Right on, NextCustomer! We need more people like you, who aren't afraid to call a tool a tool. And yes it's true, most colors pretty much disappear at night. If your car was glow-in-the-dark green, that would be an entirely different matter.

ID Arsehole was eventually removed by security, still screaming abuse.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving fellow.

I don't get that mindset either. Just because you know you're of age doesn't mean everyone else knows you are. Show your ID and act like a grownup. IMNSHO, the fact that you're throwing a tantrum that would embarrass Veruca Salt shows that you are much too immature to be trusted with adult decisions like drinking and smoking.

[Lace Neil Singer]

I personally will always step in if I'm the customer in that situation. Well, it's only fair to say what the cashier wants to say, but can't. XXD I had a nice chat with Mr Nextcustomer after Mr Anus left, thanking him for his awesome remark. XD

Yeah; that's what I normally assume. ID Arsehole had a tattoo so I assume that he was over eighteen; why he didn't just produce ID, I don't know. O_o

[PepperElf]

last time i bought alcohol the man running the store wasn't sure if he remembered me or not so he asked for id

as always my reaction was that i take it as a compliment
hell i'm 37 and he's not sure if i'm 21 yet? that's a BIG compliment (lol)

[MrsEclipse]

I'm 22 and, after watching the tape from my 9th grade play, realized I haven't aged a day since I was 15 (except for growing my hair, of course.)

Carded, I get. It's a part of life. We deal.


So at first I was thinking either he didn't have his ID with him or else didn't have an ID to begin with, but now I'm wondering if he was in a bad mood and wanted to pick a fight. Now that I think about it, I bet a lot of ID bitchfests are that one, too.

[BlaqueKatt]

I hate the Think 25 scheme so much cuz of all the SCs it produces, however it is the law

yeah they just changed federal law here-anyone appearing to be under 27 must be carded-every time, no exceptions.

[BrenDAnn]

So every time he comes in he gets carded?

This is actually what we are required to do now where I work. New FDA rules, I guess. No matter how many times we've seen the person, no matter how well we know them (one of my coworkers has had to ID her own son), if they are under 30 or 40 I think it is, we have to ID them, every time. Insane? Yes. Obviously no one in the FDA has ever worked a day behind a cash register in their lives, but, that's getting into fratching and so I'll stop.

[Mr. Anubite]

I get so many young bitchlings and bastardbrats whining to me about being carded

Can I steal these? Bitchlings made me laugh for like 5 minutes straight!
