Young guy comes in and asks for cheapest pack of cigs. I tell him "Giza" brand is on sale and he wants a pack of menthol flavored ones. I ask for ID.
"C'mon, you know me."
"Excuse me?" (never saw you before in my life, so no, I don't know you)
"I'm in here all the time. You know me!"
"um, no, I don't. Do you have your ID?"
"Dude, I'm 20 years old! You know me!"
"Do you guys recognize him?" *other cashiers look up and say no*
"Ok, then I need your ID, please."
"You know me!"
"Sorry, no ID, no cigsrettes. It's the law."
*lather, rinse, repeat*
"I need to see your ID."
"No, it's cool, man." *hands me money, tries to take cigarettes out of my hand. I jerk it back*
"Dude, I need your ID."
"But I walked all the way here!"
"Well if you want to walk all the way back to your house, get your ID and walk all the way back here, I can serve you. Do you want to do that?"
"C'mon, man! man! You know me!"
"No cigarettes without an ID"
"Awwww, Man!" *walks away*
Got a hearty slap on the back from manager S1 for that.
Bonus: No Time
At my Aid of Rite, you have a phone tree that you have to go through to get to the pharmacy. Loads of customers think that by hitting the option for the store it gets you through faster. Though, to be fair, the options are confusingly named but you need to pay attention. If pharmacy customer calls the front, I transfer them to the back, where they wait to get the pharmacist. I have a few customers who think hanging up and calling back will also get them through faster but it doesn't, it only pisses me off.
One guy did that and then screamed "I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS BULLSHIT!" and hung up. Ok, no prescriptions for you.

You just literally disconnected the call yourself, and tried to connect again. How is that faster than waiting?!
No idea why but this made me laugh for about 10 minutes..with occasional giggles off and on for about 20 more minutes.
