Just when you thought they couldn't get much dumber.....(Sorry, Really Long)

So, did he call up your manager to complain? ** Because that would be even better if the idiot used his one phone call to do that.

How hard did the Store Manager laugh when you told him what happened?

Nahnanan nahnanan, hey hey hey, good by

[roguesqd]

Wow that is a Chuck Norris round house kick to the nuts load of Karma right there....pure awesomeness

[rudeawakening]

Hahahaha! I almost wish that would happen in our store (we don't sell cigarettes or booze though) just so I could witness something so glorious.

SC: *to sheriff* Hey, John!! (name changed) GUESS WHAT? These bleepers won't sell me cigarettes 'cuz I don't have my ID on me. Anit that just the stupidest thing you ever heard!! I'm fifty four years old, for bleeps sake!

SC storms out of the store and fires up his beat to hell pickup truck and burns rubber out of the parking lot. Our wonderful friendly town sheriff just shakes his head and radios his officers to go pick up the SC and arrest him.

{ You heard right, this dumbass just voluntarily told a member of law enforcement that he was driving without his driver' s license}

Technically, if he'd left his license in the truck, he "don't have my ID on me", but wouldn't be driving without his license. Probably not what happened, however.

Oh. According to the grapevine here in Tiny Town, he was arrested for speeding, expired inspection sticker, not wearing a seat belt, disturbing the peace, resisting arrest, assaulting an officer....and the icing.....a shiny new DUI for driving while high on who knows what.

Shiny new DUI? If it was booze, who would have sold it to him without ID? Probably DUI for other substances. I wonder what he was smoking - only thing I'm sure of is it wasn't cigarettes from Plankton78's store.

Looking one's age

That changed a while back to 40, as I guess 27 is kind of hard to tell. I always went by gray in hair+wrinkles for the magic combo to not be carded.

Remember Taylor Hicks, gray haired in his late twenties and said he was like that from when he was a teenager.

That is why you card people no matter their looks.

Or then there's men who go bald young, such as Patrick Stewart, who lost his hair before he was 20.

On the other hand, I am very, very glad that we don't sell cigarettes, alcohol, or other age-restricted materials at the fabric store. I get enough guff from customers over expired coupons, unread signs and a lack of a senior discount.

[Ironclad Alibi]

Forgive me if I am missing something, but I thought that you only had to ID someone 27 and under...

That is true for the law, but the OP's store policy is to ID everyone.

[Plankton78]

I'm so sorry. I was exhausted when I wrote this. Double shifts are killing me.

You are absolute correct. The federal law I meant to talk about says that we can refuse to sell anyone cigarettes if they do not have an ID, an expired ID, or an ID without a valid birthday.

We could make up a birthday and sell cigarettes anyways but with six security cameras around the front register area, it'd be easy to tell if the cashier was checking or not.

Also. To who ever asked if I told my manager. I was the manager on duty at the time (as my cashier says 'FINALLY. A manager who can work a register. Lol). Anyways, I didn't tell the store manager because it's a small town and she's related to the sheriff. (cousin, brother, uncle.......... I can't remember.)

Or more than one of the above... (Hey, I live in the Deep South, too!)
