I'm an asshole...... WITH POWER

[underemployeed]

I had a situation that could have went over a little better but makes it significantly funnier, at least to me as it was back to back.

SC1: The pump says see cashier, what the fuck does that mean!
me: It is saying fleet restriction.
SC1: And what are you going to do about?
me: Tell you it says fleet restriction and that what ever your trying to do, your company who provided the card doesn't want you doing.
SC1: (Seriously Angered Tone) Well un-restrict it already!!
me: (stare) I can only tell you the vauge reason the computer gives me nothing else.
SC1: This is bullshit! I need gas and your refusing to give it to me.
me: I'm sorry sir, I have no control of it.
SC1: screw you.

Next customer (NC), comes up.

NC: What the hell was that about?
(In my most smart ass tone)
me: Well he feels I have started a conspiracy against him and only him, but in truth us cashiers are out for every body.

NC - sets down a beer *and I think to myself he is young (18-23) I hope he has ID*

me: I need your ID.
NC: Serious?, can't I just give you me B-day?
me: Photo ID only, sorry.
NC: Alright, Ill go find it.

Which translated to go tell another guy to come up and buy it, which is where we get SC2 because NC was at least understanding in walking away. I guess SC2 is the much older brother of NC as I would have no problem selling to him except he came up and asked for the beer to my right.

SC2: What do you mean you can't sell that to me?
me: I mean I asked him for his ID, he didn't have it according to the law, once I do that I CAN NOT sell him Or anyone he sends up to try and buy it for him.
SC2: Your an asshole you know you can and you just want to be a fucking prick
me: I'm sorry i'm just doing my job which is following the law
SC2: NO your just a fucking asshole, and that beer is for me anyways.
(I love the classic, I'm lazy and sent someone without ID who is young)
me: I'm sorry (not really I just want you to leave me the hell alone)
SC2: You enjoy doing this you miserable prick.
me: Have a nice day!
SC2: You have a nice day too, being an asshole!

It turns out he is right, I love when people let me enjoy denying them because it is the law, I really hate when there are people that nice about it that I really would like to remember if they are old enough, but for the most part people flip out and make it very fun to do my job. It is nice to know I have the power to ruin the days of SCs because in the end of it all, apparently they think my store is the only place in town to get alcohol, I can think of 15 different establishments off the same mile long stretch of road.

Later I did have a guy who understood he didn't have his ID and I sort of remember him but not enough to stake my future on, as tomorrow I plan on enlisting in the air force to work on multi-million dollar fighters, last thing I want to do is end up getting a citation for allowing someone under age to get alcohol, and blow a shot at a much better career than minimum wage with at least 70% of our clients have entitlement issues because we are located in a "upper class" suburb

And ofcourse

No matter how much they claim that you can't do whatever you may be doing that they think is wrong or how important they are and you need to do what they want, they never call the police! I wonder why?

[Mongo Skruddgemire]

Even if one isn't going to work on fighter planes and furthering their careers...It's still fun to sit there and stonewall these @#$%ers and watching them give themselves a concussion trying to head butt through it.

I don't miss selling beer or ciggs at all. People always thought they were immune to being carded (the worst offenders were the freshly 18 or 21 year olds!) and they'd always say I was doing it just to be a bitch.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

When Kinko's towed cars, they were doing it because they had to.

However, I was the one who ended up on lot duty every time. You know why?

I got off on it.

No point lying about it. I'm just being honest. Everyone else felt bad about it, or were disturbed by the amount of venom that job would get you. Some people don't like being called mean names.

Me? The madder they got the bigger the adrenaline rush. It was like crack.

So I suck. Sue me.

I wasn't mean about it.In fact, I had nothing but respect for my worthy adversaries who played the game and lost with dignity. In other words, shouldered the burden of their own consequences like grown ass adults. The ones that pitched fits and screamed and stomped their feet?

Yeah, keep doing that. Just like that. Maybe a little faster and talk dirty to me....

"Well, that's not very nice."

If by "nice" you mean allowing someone who looks under a certain age to purchase age-restricted items without proper identification, well then, the law doesn't allow me to be nice. Suck it.

And THIS is why you are the hero to so many!

Actually, it's very nice.

If by "nice" you mean "scrupulously exact."

*buys RK a drink*

[CaptMalcolm]

I used to work front end at The Wall and I always loved any day that a customer came in to complain that the handicapped spaces out front were completely filled with vehicles without the appropriate placards(a daily occurance)

With a customer complaint, I could call the local sub-station and they'd send out as many cars as they had available and start handing out $235 citations.... they'd even park across the ends of the vehicles to avoid any "I'll move it... I'LL MOVE IT!!!" situations....

When all you have is the crumbs of power, they'll do

[Andara Bledin]

Good for you for calling the cops in on those inconsiderate assholes.

I can't stand people who are too lazy to walk an extra 50 feet when there's nothing wrong with them.
