Doing A Tattle When They Can’t Get A Tipple

I have just refused to sell liquor to two very young-looking teens who don’t have ID.

Me: “I’m afraid that without ID you will need to leave. Unaccompanied minors aren’t allowed in liquor stores in this state.”

They return ten minutes later with their dad.

Customer’s Dad: “You kicked out my kids for not having ID?! That’s so f****** disrespectful! They are so upset! You embarrassed and almost traumatized them by calling them out like that! Who the f*** do you think you are?!”

My customer service face cracks and I let out a little smile. One of the teens notices this.

Customer: “What’s so f****** funny?!”

Me: “Do you really think that tattling to your dad is going to convince me that you’re old enough to buy alcohol?”
