    SC called me "retarded" I'm sooo hurt.... NOT!!!!

    I work as a cashier at a supermarket in Gainesville, Florida near UF. I also have Asperger Syndrome a mild form of autism.
    Tonight we were unusually busy for a Sunday night I had this young customer come through my check out register buying beer. He looked around 21 so I had to check his I.D. Well this it how it played out:

    (register prompts me to check I.D after scanning the alcohol)
    Me: Sir may I see your I.D
    SC: I left my I.D at home
    Me: I'm sorry but by law I can't sell it to you
    SC: I'm in here all the time I'm in a hurry
    Me: Again I'm sorry sir but I can't sell it to you
    SC: ARE YOU (beep)ING RETARDED
    Me: No sir I'm autistic
    SC: :says nothing looks at me like deer in the headlights:
    My poor bagger had to walk away from the register and the one customer behind him was like "woah"
    The SC left the store pretty quickly. I will NEVER forget the look on his face when I told him I was autistic. Bet he won't ever use the word "retard."

    Welcome and compliments on that comeback.
    BTW, if that SC was so smart, why no ID when he knew he would need it?
    I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

      I get people like that all the time that throw hissy fits the moment I ask for ID, chewing me out for how they are obviously 'of drinking age'. Sorry bub if you look under 25 then I have to check ID, and no amount of hissy fit will make me risk a fine if I get caught serving you and you are underage.

      The one that always makes me laugh is when they say 'I get asked for it all the time' ... well if you get asked all the time then it's a sign that you need to be prepared to be asked and thus you need to carry it with you

      *sigh*

      The look on his face when I told him that was priceless.

        My favorites are the ones that tell me they can give me a birthday. Me too. I can throw out plenty of birthdays. Give me your ID and you can have your stuff.
        I would have a nice day, but I have other things to do.

          I had one like that the other day, Trixie. I asked for ID and he rattled off a birthday. Nope, sorry. ID or GTFO!

            Or they try to use a card that's not government issued ID.

            ID? ... Sorry, your college/school ID does not count as a valid ID, nor does your debit or credit card. Come back with valid ID and then we'll sell you alcohol.

                  I'm 39 and still get carded all the time. You know what I do? I show them my fucking ID!

                  I've only had two notable ID stories. One was my own fault, and funny at the end and the other one was a stupid cashier.

                  Story the first: When asked for ID I showed him my wallet, ID facing up like I always do. Cashier gave me a funny look and I was about to get mad, but then I looked and realized my 12 year old son's ID was the one facing out (he has a handicapped parking permit and therefore a state issued ID card, which I keep in my wallet behind my own ID.) I realized my mistake and we all had a good laugh.

                  Story the second: I'd lost my driver's license, and as it was a weekend, I couldn't get it replaced right away. I walked to a gas station to buy cigarettes and used my passport as ID. The cashier gave me grief, telling me it wasn't a valid ID (it is, thank you very much). Eventually the manager sorted out the cashier. I still never yelled at the guy, just politely asked him to get his manager so we could resolve the issue.

                    A while ago a woman and I were in line at the self checkout sharing an eyeroll at the nitwits who don't seem to have any idea how to use self scan. She just had a cake and I had a couple of items. Really isn't rocket science find barcode scan put in bag. Yet somehow people find this complicated. Anyway a guy and his son(?) came to ask if were in line and I said yes and then noticed they were carrying bottles of wine. I said "Uh, sir you can't buy alcohol at self scan." I then pointed at the large sign. Add to that a sign at each station, and common sense since a self scanner cant check your ID. DUH. I remember when the signs were first put up and people still tried to scan alcohol. The self scanners need an automatic arm that slaps people upside the head when they are being stupid.

                            Just my 2 cents but if you leave your home to go anywhere other than your backyard without ID, you are an idiot.
