Since the store put in a policy that we ask everyone who looks under 25 for ID, we have been overwhelmed with suckiness. -.- Today, this kid comes in with his stepmother. Stepmother is not an SC. Kid is. Blargh.
SC: (after SM pays for her petrol) I'd like twenty Marlboro Reds please.
Me: Can I see some ID?
SC: I don't have any.
Me: I can't sell you any, sorry.
SC: They're not for me, they're for my dad. So why can't you serve me?
Me: I just asked you for ID and you didn't have any. That's why.
SC: (speaking slowly, as if to someone who was stupid) They are for my dad. Not me. So give me the fags.
SM: Don't talk to her like that, it's not her fault that you can't buy the cigarettes.
SC: (to me) Look, my stepmother is right here, ask her if they're for me or my dad!
SM: Just leave it. She's only going by store policy; I don't have time to stand here and watch you argue a lost cause.
SC then leaves, sulking, with SM. At least with a stepmother like that, SC has some chance of growing up into a decent human being.
