SC walks up and asks for cigs.

Me: Could I see your ID?
SC: *turns to girl who walks up behind her.* Gettin' ID'd. I must have had you when I was four. Stay here. *walks outside presumably to get her ID.*
Me: *waits.*
SC: *Comes back*
Me: *looks at ID, gets cigs* Okay that'll be X.XX.
SC: *pays*
Me: Okay now you have a good day.
SC: Right. You too. But I'm still calling your manager you cocky bitch.

[Mike Taylor]

Cocky or not, rules are rules and if Miss Thang wants her cigs, she needs to follow them.

SC: Right. You too. But I'm still calling your manager you cocky bitch.

You (awesome, rule-abiding cashier): Please do; he will be delighted to hear that I've done my job so well. In fact, would you like to use the phone now? I'll gladly dial the number for you! It's not every day that I get such positive approval, after all. Hey, where are you going? Don't you want to use the phone? Miss...?

But I'm still calling your manager you cocky bitch.

Good. Please do. She will be very pleased to know that I am checking all IDs, just like I am REQUIRED TO DO BY LAW IN MOST PLACES.

And also, she will be pleased to know I am not potentially getting her store shut down by the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission (or whatever it is where you live).

Last night it was the first time in years I was carded. The woman behind the counter was carding everyone, but still, I had my id with me and I didn't whine. Jeez, some people whine over nothing.

. I must have had you when I was four. Stay here

Well, since the store can't do dna tests to see she is your offspring, not your cousin or aunt or child you are babysitting, I guess you do have to prove your age.

This twit reminds me of a cw run in with an sc in the Teens Room. You have to be a teen to remain in the room, adults get runned out.

SC: My 16 year old son is in here.
CW: I'm sorry, you have to leave, be can't have 30 year olds in here.
SC: You calling me old! I want to talk to your manager!

[PepperElf]

SC: Right. You too. But I'm still calling your manager you cocky bitch.

so... the manager's going to punish an employee for... following the law? Not only that but a law that local cities often test compliance on?

Well, either she had him when she was under 14, or she is "old" as in 30. Which makes me laugh my ass off, because I'd love to be 30 again.

[AyreBiskits]

i think that would be a compliment to be carded if you have a kid that old, means you still look young enough to get carded. i know i would take it as a compliment sounds like she's just a mean old bitch to me

[Mr Hero]

Why do SC's get so pissy about this anyway? Don't they realize that the clerk has the power to grant them or deny them the cigarettes/booze/porn they crave?

Since the youngest mother on record was 5, that is not an impossibility.

[Deevil]

Up until my mid-thirties I easily looked young enough to pass for under 21, and I knew it, so I always made sure I had my ID if I knew I would be going someplace where I might be carded. Heck, I almost got carded at the casino tonight. Sunday was my birthday and since I had to work that night and Monday night, my honey was taking me out for dinner at one of the local casino's buffet. The buffet is in the middle of the casino floor and as we were entering, the lady working at the check point asked me when my birthday was. I rattled it off with a smile, and either I sounded honest or she noticed the crows feet that are starting to show, because she just said "that's a good year" and let me walk on in without digging out my DL.

[M'oh Less]

Heh, I have a thirteen year old daughter, and I'm THRILLED that I still get carded regularly. I don't look like a high schooler anymore, but it's nice to know that they might question even just a little that I'm old enough to buy smokes and booze. ^_^

[Mytical]

I am 38 years old, and I got carded today. By somebody who should have known I was old enough..as we worked together years ago. Did I cry, moan, or state the fact that they 'should have known'? Nope..handed over my ID. Why? Because I am used to being carded, am not a SC, and know how it goes. When I am carded it actually makes me feel good..weird huh?

[Gizmo]

A friend of mine is about 46 (as far as we can work out) and still gets ID'd and loves it. Does a lap of the bar everytime!

30 would be considered old if you were talking to a 4 year old.

My dad went to go buy cigs where my aunt works (We both work for the same supermarket chain, but different locations), and was a bit un-inpressed about getting carded. Not because he's 49 and looks a few years younger, but because he looks a regular 40 something person and was still being asked for ID.
