Quoth raudf View PostI had the awfullest mental image from the title.. a literal rash, made up of tiny heads with REALLY BIG MOUTHS, all yelling stupid stuff and making demands. No ears, because why bother, it's not like they're gonna listen!
As for the "I have a line" story, that's similar to the sucktomers I'd get at the wholesale club who would come up to the express register, cutting to the side of the line, and ask to get lotto tickets (either to buy or redeem).
Once or twice, I'd take care of them if they had just one ticket to redeem, but when I started getting people with multiple tickets, or wanting to make a purchase, I started telling them to get in the line.
When the sucktomers whined about it (express register's lines could get long, as it was also the only one where they could buy cigarettes), I told them, "When I have to help you, I'm not helping them. It's only fair you wait in line like everybody else." They dropped the complaints and got in line.PWNADE(TM) - Serve up a glass today! | PWNZER - An act of pwnage so awesome, it's like the victim got hit by a tank.

Quoth Jester View Postif you're in your 20s, or worse, just barely past 21, shut the fuck up and have your ID, or don't bitch about not getting served. Dumbass.
Quoth Jester View PostRead the paper, chill out, decompress, have a soda, take a walk, whatever. I have a story about my smoking manager giving me, a non-smoker, grief about taking a break
Not too long ago the owners wife overheard me yell down the stairs "Hey Fakename! You better not be working down there." to a coworker during break. She gave me the CBF, but didn't say anything. Even a silver-spoon princess kinda understands that pushing people every second is really only prudent business when they're manacled to the bottom of the boat...

Grype, while I can't comment on where you are, in my experience, those signs are not at all new. And by that I mean that I was seeing them 20 years ago.

Quoth Flying Grype View PostRe: carding: I just started noticing signs that say "If you look like you're under FORTY you will be carded". It's like they suddenly figured out that if someone over twenty-one can look like they're sixteen, there's also a possibility that someone under twenty-one can look much older.
My hubby, at the age of 20, looked to be in his late 30's. I, a year older than him, looked to be in high school. Can't judge on that, but gray hair is a pretty good indicator of age. Pretty good. Hubby is in his late 30's now and has gray hair.If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

I also had classmates back in high school with male pattern baldness, so that's not a good indicator either. Basically, if they have a relatively youthful face, card them!I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.
