I reference this thread as it covers the same deal as what just happened to me: http://www.customerssuck.com/board/s...d.php?t=110702
Thought I'd put it down as a 'sighting' because it's involves myself, and it has a much happier ending.
Basically I've recently moved to a new state and had to transfer my license. Having never done this before I thought the temporary paper license they give you when you hand in your out of state one was all you needed till they mail you the new one.
Well, as my attempt to buy wine this week proved, I was wrong. Cashier took one look at my paper photocopy and informed me that I needed both that and my old license for it to count as valid ID.
"No problem, I've still got that sitting in my car. If you can put the wine aside I'll be right back."
Cashier looks at me suspiciously, for obvious reasons.
"Seriously, I wasn't aware that's how it worked. If you can't put the wine aside just void the transaction and I'll get back in line."
Cashier now looks a little less suspicious, and a bit more bewildered. He suspends my transaction and I promptly run out, grab my old license and run back in to rejoin the line at the register.
Cure Cashier now looking at me with shock that I wasn't trying to pull the typical sucky customer act on him. He waves me over to the bagging area and I hand him the requested document to prove I am as old as I look.
A full two minute pause holds as he looks at the two matching licenses, then at me, then back at my ID. Just as I'm wondering if I've unknowingly broke his brain by not following the routine for these things he hands me back my stuff, finishes ringing me up and then asks if he can shake my hand as a gentleman. For indeed, in his eyes, I am as such for showing that, yes, there's are folk who will admit their mistakes and not cause a scene if they can't get what they want.
I told that seemed a bit harsh, but he was adamant that this had never happened to him before.
