Its too hot out for legality!

[underemployeed]

Today, it was 90-95 outside, perfect day to be stuck inside in air conditioning because WELL, I hate the perfect days that customers just say, "Why don't you go outside and enjoy it "

A younger girl who appeared to be 18 at the oldest came in, so I IDed her as she wanted her cigarettes. Company policy is you need to look 30, however for the most part I'm pretty relaxed and use logic you come in with 45 tattoos and facial peircings that just way to our their for any parent to sign off on let alone tolerate and your not buying alcohol I probably won't ID. So this girl storms out of the store to get her ID, isn't really mean to me, but my coworker was outside smoking and got to hear something along the lines of

"It is TOO FUCKING HOT out here to be making me go get my mother fucking ID!!! This some bullshit!!"

She comes back in, hands me ID, Um she can barely buy alcohol and is throwing a tantrum because it is hot outside and she didn't want to get her ID. get over yourself, the 35 yr old woman I IDed and hour before you was gracious and had to go out to her car too. Your dumb ass is young but old enough to know to carry your ID, hell I had my ID ready the other night when I went to a random place for beer.

If I'm buying booze or smokes (and now apparently cough medicine..) I make sure I have my ID on me because i dont want to WALK BACK TO MY MOTHERFUCKING CAR.

Carry your ID, quit being dumb. PSA brought to you by a career drunk and planner aheader.

[Rugsrat]

Amen to that. Working with contracts, as an Indirect seller, I have to get everyone's ID that wants to set one up.

I'm always shocked and appalled that people either A: Don't carry it at all, or B: don't think to bring it in the store with them.

I had something like this but I wasn't going to make him go get it until he WHINED about how I shouldn't make him go get it because it was too hot (it hit over 100 degrees here for the past two days.) He practically laid down on my counter and whined and moaned. He told me he promised he was 24. So I told him that his license could promise he was 24 and I made him go get it.

My CW laughed and called me a raging bitch. That's when you know there's love.

For the cough medicine its probably got pseudoephedrine, used as a precursor in meth labs.

"Well, princess, if you'd carry your ID on you in the first place, you wouldn't have had to go outside, where it's soooo hot, to get it, now would you?" I only wish I could get away with this. Oh, how I wish....**walks away grumbling about stupid c-store customers and age-restricted products**

[Elspeth]

What I don't understand in all of these id stories is that where are these people keeping their money or credit cards to pay for their yummy booze. On second thought I don't want to know, I have read too many stories here.

Common sense says carry your dang id. Sorry heat is getting to me. I need to find a cold dark hole. *curses the evil skyfire*

[Argabarga]

It's just a bad idea to NOT have ID on you at all times you go out.

If you've got clothes on, you've got pockets, and a driver's license hardly even weighs a thing...

I don't get it.

[Peppergirl]

"It is TOO FUCKING HOT out here to be making me go get my mother fucking ID!!! This some bullshit!!"

What a little bitch! Too bad you couldn't have refused service to her based upon her little tantrum.

[aurelemsrealm]

It's not a difficult concept to grasp. I always carry my wallet when I leave home for any reason, and I always keep my ID in my wallet. All that aside, I know I'm old enough to buy beer or snus, my two big age-restricted vices, and always have my ID handy to show if asked. Plus, (and I already know the answer ) who is stupid enough to get behind the wheel without a valid driver's license on hand? I'd say the more correct observation is that it's too hot to deal with dumbass sucktomers and their bullshit.

[PepperElf]

if i'm out, i usually have my wallet on me, period.

i wouldn't leave it in the car because... well what if the car gets broken into?

[KabeRinnaul]

Had to card a girl for beer a few days ago, and she said it was out in her car, so of course I made her go get it. When she finally gets back inside and digs it out of her purse, she throws it at me and says "Do I not fucking LOOK 21?! Is it that hard to fucking tell?!"

Right. Date of birth? February 1989.

You don't get to insist you obviously look 21 when you're only 21 and a half.

[Android Kaeli]

Unless I'm at a pool where I really don't need my ID, my license is with me at all times. Just so I don't have to go all the way home to get it. O.o

What a bitch.

[Catianna]

To be honest you really don't want to know some of the places I have seen cash or credit cards carried. I would rather they have to run out to the car than pull it out of, um, how to put this, I think it was in his underwear if he was wearing any *shudder* and he had no shame about it either. The next customer in line waited for me to sanitize the card reader since he didn't want to use his card in it after that. I know that I carry mine with me when I leave the house, and when I get carded I want to hug the cashier after all I am in my thirties. Still, which would you prefer, make them go get it out of the car or have them pull it from you really don't want to know where?

Thats the funny thing, I checked. None. The cashier told me it was because theres Alcohol in it, but i had the Alcohol-Free version. You can only get ephedrine sulfate in california and its in the pharmacy. I have no idea.

^This girl ten years from now in a liquor store: YOU DIDNT EVEN CARD ME I COULD BE UNDER 21 ILL HAVE YOUR JOB!!!!!!!!!
