Didn't ya hear?

Rawr! I hate those SC that nag on your butt about doing what you are told... A wonderful SC wrote a check, and of course I ask to see his DL. So, he whips it out and before I can even glance at it, he puts it back in his pocket. For an old guy he was freaking fast! And this was the quick exchange that followed.
Me: Sir, I need to see your license...
Sir: I wrote the number down on the bottom, you are such a pain in the ass.
Me: *shock silence*
And it was there, but totally unreadable!
Don't you love these people?! And why didn't someone tell me I was such a pain in the ass for following the rules?

I see the this was one of your first posts. Welcome, to CS.com, Dixie Chick. You'll find that a LOT of people do a LOT of things that most normal, rational people would consider to be stunningly rude. He probably thought that you were doing that just to piss him off. Some people are wierd like that.

I do believe I would have told him that if he found such a simple request unreasonable he could take his business elsewhere. I never put up with that kind of abuse of myself or my employees. Period. SC's either play nice or go away!

Where I worked we literally had to see the ID (as I guess a lot of places do) and people would always be like "the numbers on the check!"

A friend gave me a check made out to "cash" from someone she knew (she'd borrowed a small amount of money but couldn't have an account of her own for some reason related to a prior bankruptcy) and to avoid risking it being bad I cashed it at the issuing bank. The teller wrote my SSN ON THE CHECK WITHOUT TELLING ME HE WAS GOING TO DO SO. I grabbed it back and blacked it out and gave it back to my friend, but she explained it was too hard for her to pay me some other way, so I went back and they agreed to keep my info on a separate sheet.
