  • A Customer called police on my boss!

    My boss told me this morning, she had a young girl come in and asked for a cigar. My boss does the whole law thing and ask for her ID. The girl FREAKED out, yelling out that she has a better job, and my boss is jealous that the girl has a BMW, and is younger then her (Boss is 36, but looks in her mid-20s). So my boss told her that she cannot sell her the cigar.

    So the girl pulls out her cellphone, and in front of the boss, dialed 911. Started screaming at the dispatcher about the boss carding her illegally. My boss thinks the police hung up on her, because the girl started to scream again, both in her cellphone and out to outside.

    Police DID come. A hour later. To ask her to leave. Because my boss called that some crazy lady was outside and she was afraid she was going to do something.

    Uh, Illegaly carded? Shut your hole woman, if you appear in anyway underage, you're not getting A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G. until you prove otherwise.

    A PSA, if I may, as well as another.

      I don't understand why it's so hard to produce an I.D. You need one to drive, you need when writing a check/using a debit card, and you need it to open accounts it should be on anytime you're in public. Freaking out and throwing tantrums just makes you look suspicious. I am carded constantly and would never act like that lady did. What a nutjob.

        I would have flat-out told that bimbo that service is NOT a right. It's a priviledge and that I'll do business with whomever I damn well please. As a matter of fact, if you dont get your snobby ass off of my property I'm gonna have you charged with tresspassing.

          One of god's mysteries. I chalk it up to laziness, arrogance or just plain suspicious. People will give you the innocent act UNTIL you ask for their ID, that's when they bitch.

            That's funny, I wasn't aware that there was such a thing as illegally carding someone for age-restricted products. Now being a public nuissance is illegal -- I think they commonly call it disorderly conduct.

              That reminds me of something I heard on a podcast a few months ago...

              The podcaster went to the liquor store and bought some booze and didn't get carded by the attendant. Another customer (who had nothing to do with the store, other than shopping there) asked in a bitchy tone "Are you 21?" to which the podcaster said "no". The SC proceeded to follow the podcaster out of the store and move her car so that he couldn't get his out, and called the police. The cop turned up, asked to see the podcaster's ID, then laughed and arrested the SC for obstructing traffic and wasting police time. The podcaster was 22 years old at the time.

                While that is funny, Edible Hat, I must say that the clerk should have carded, heh.

                  Under 30? We ID.

                  That's our store's motto.

                    If you see the same person, everyday, buy the same beer, it just annoying to keep asking for the ID. Might have been the same with that clerk and guy.

                      But how do you know that they're under thirty unless you ID them first...?

                        'tis based on appearance. Which is why the grocery store my mum works at instituted a chain-wide policy of always carding for age-restricted products.

                          Just because the clerk didn't do their job is absolutely no reason for another customer to do that. As Plaidman said, there's a number of reasons why no ID was shown. If another customer was really so concerned, call the police and report the clerk for not getting ID. If the podcaster really wanted to push it, and the police were crabby, then another customer could have been charged with unlawful detainment, or whatever it is. Another customer did completely the wrong thing, and deserved everything they got and more.

                            In Tennessee, all alcohol sales require an ID regardless of age by law to complete the transaction. Most people have accepted it now, but once in a while I still get a squeaky wheel. I don't argue with them. I simply tell them it's the law, show me your ID and shut up about it, or shut up and go elsewhere. I do love telling those few who insist that other places don't card them that I seriously doubt it because to do so is now illegal. I even had one insist that the clerks at another of our stores don't card them for beer. "Oh really? Thank you for bringing that to my attention! Which store was that again? I'm sure management would like to know."

                            I've noticed that tobacco customers seem to be far worse entitlement whores when you ask for ID. For a short time, our store policy required ID on all age-restricted sales regardless of age because there was talk that the Responsible Vendor Act would be applied to all age-restricted products. However, that was later amended to cover just alcohol. During that time, though, tobacco customers by far threw the worst temper tantrums of all age-restricted products customers. The funny part is that we would have to card for lighters, too. Now that only alcohol sales require ID regardless of age, our store policy states that tobacco customers must be carded if they appear under 40. I generally only card them if they look like a high school student to me.

                            Even if we don't card a customer, we still have to ask for their birthdate so we can type it into the register to clear it even if they are of age. Whether they wish to give their real birthdate or make one up is of no concern to me. Most customers have no problem with telling their birthdate, but some will make an issue of it. I just tell them make up a birthdate or forget about it. It's not my job to make one up for them. Plus, I'd rather the ones who made an issue of it would just start going elsewhere to shop because they're generally the same caliber of entitlement whore to bitch about other stupid matters beyond my control.

                            Yes, we do have one customer who says he doesn't smoke, but regularly buys lighters. Everytime, the register prompts for a birthdate, so I ask. Each time, he goes on about it being ridiculous. Each time, I tell him, "I'm not asking for my own amusement. Now do you want the lighter or not?" In other words, just shut up and tell me a valid birthdate so that we can both go on with life.

                              I don't smoke, but I buy lighters. Because places that sell candles almost never sell lighters.
