  • "...but I'm lighting candles!"

    I work in a convenience store/gas station. Per store policy we card on lighters and matches (which are free) as well as tobacco. Anyone who looks like they're under 27 has to show ID.

    Me: Hello
    SC: (puts a pack of condoms on the counter)
    Me: 3.99 plus tax, Anything else?
    SC: A lighter (takes lighter from display and puts on counter)
    Me: Sure, can I see your ID?
    SC: What? It's a just a lighter.
    Me: It's store policy.
    SC: You're kidding me? (fumbles around for ID) But I'm 21.
    Me: So am I, I need ID if look under 27.
    SC: But it's just a lighter! I'm need to light candles.
    Me: Sorry, I need to see ID.
    SC: Fine, just give me matches.
    Me: I need ID for those too. Anything that can light tobacco.
    SC: I told you, I'm just lighting cangles!
    Me: That doesn't matter, I still need ID.
    SC: Fine. (Walks out)

    Of course that's not nearly as funny as the kid who got upset because I carded him for cigars.

      LOL! Yeah, good point!

      I got carded for matches/lighter once . . . (I was over 21), I was kinda surprised - I never buy lighters or cigarettes, so I wasn't really expecting it!

        He left the condoms behind. Hopefully she won't get in the mood without candles.

          If I do shave, then I get carded. If I don't shave, I don't get carded. It does not bother me, at all.

              You're really optimist, if you think he KNOWS how to properly use the condoms, I can just picture it:

              Idot puts condom on his nose: All right honey, now were safe.
              Gf: Woof

                Wait, so fire is controlled substance now? Then I gotta fix my stove, it won't light without a match the way it is now. If I run out of matches I won't be able to cook again until I fix the stove or turn twenty-one.

                  Yeah, that has got to be one of the stupidest rules ever. Sounds like he was trying to have a romantic night with his gf. Obviously alphaboi isn't responsible for the rules so the customer shouldn't take it out on him, but jeez I'd be annoyed too. 21! 16 I can see maybe but 21

                    I know a few that have been suggested recently on this board.

                      I think the dude said he was 21 but in order to buy the lighter (as the cigarettes) you have to be 18 - I think.

                      Now, I was thinking - imagine, his girly at home primping for their big romantic evening. (Girls spend sometime getting ready for these things you know!) and he meets up with her and instead of getting it on without the candles - unless she absolutely requires them - he shows up mad and angry at the store clerk AND without the condoms. Jerk seriously shot himself in the foot on this one

                          I think it depends where you buy the matches.

                          i've never heard of carding in a supermarket or department store, but a convenience store where the lighters and matches are displayed with tobacco usually (around here) will card for matches

                            What if they are under 21...does that mean they can't buy a lighter? besides...you can smoke at 18 anyhow..

                              Still doesn't top the time earlier this year when I got carded for buying two pieces of posterboard, some chocolate, and a marker.
