Did you even think that would work?

A couple of 14 year olds come into the store, and after much nervous looking around and waiting for other customers to leave, they approach the counter.

SC1: "Um, cigarettes... what brands are there?"
Me: "All these" *points to display*
SC1: "Um ok, we want... the red one... Madboro?"
SC2: "Marlboro!"
SC1: "Is that in a 10 pack or a 15 pack?"
Me: "It's in 20s or 25s."
SC1: "OK can I have the smallest one?"
Me: "Do you have ID?"
SC2: "No..."
(they wander off, only to come back 15 minutes later and try to buy porn, still without ID)

Geez, at least try and sneak the porn into a newsaer and buy the paper, there's no other way you're getting it.

You're not putting that option up from personal experience are ya?

At least the kids didn't try to fight with you. They were just...really dumb.

Would I ever do something like that?

[fireheart]

And that's the reason why I always shake the papers, to ensure that there's no porn hiding in there.... Even though my store doesn't carry porn per se, we do have men's mags, so we gotta be careful.

EDIT: and also...how stupid do you have to be to buy smokes without ID and you are clearly underage?

People have tried that and it didn't work.

Update on the original post: they tried to buy smokes again, obviously not recognising the guy who spends 37 hours a week in the store (i.e. me)

No one ever said kids were smart.

[Kiarna]

OMG.

Ok not even I'm THAT stupid.
If you're going to buy smokes underage (at least in NSW) you don't go in in school uniform, and decide what you want and get all your info so you can seem confident and so it's not like the first time you are buy this.

Also don't go to a reputatble place. Go down to the dodgy deli or corner store, who are less likely to ask for id if you look like you know what you are doing.

No offense, but seriously is it just boys or are kids getting dumber?

[Nyoibo]

It's kids.

No one ever said kids were smart.

Except proud parents. If every parent were right, we would be a race of amazing, super geniuses. I wish I had a dollar for ever parent who ever told me what an amazing, super genius their child is(even as their super genius is examining the contents of their nose).

Hey! My daughter is a super genius, and likes to examine the contents of her nose!



Okay, so she's two.... And I'm trying to break her of the nose habit.
