Unfiltered Story #287054
A woman comes to my register, carrying a bottle of wine. She appears to be no older than 24 – probably younger. Of course I need to check her ID.
Me, taking the bottle: “Hello. May I see your ID, please?”
Her: “I didn’t bring my purse.”
Me: “I apologize, but we’re required to see an ID.”
Her: “But I can tell you my birthday.”
Me: “Yes, but anyone can say that any date is their birthday. I have to check an ID for proof, or I could get fired.”
Her: *frowning* “Okay.”
She walks away. Less than an hour later, an obviously older woman brings the exact same bottle of wine to my register, saying that it’s for her daughter. She laughs at me because I wouldn’t let her daughter buy the wine.
