License To Kill The Sale, Part 2

(I’m a cashier at a well-known toy store chain. This particular store is an express location set up just for the holiday season, as part of an outdoor mall. It is not uncommon for shoppers to make their purchases and leave the items at the store to pick up later. This customer is an adult.)

Customer: “If I buy something here, can I leave it with you until I finish shopping?”

Me: “Sure. I would just need to look at your ID before and after, to confirm who you are and which order is yours.”

Customer: “But I don’t have my ID.”

Me: “You have no form of identification at all? A driver’s license?”

Customer: “No, I don’t carry any around with me. I shouldn’t need one to just come get some toys!”

(I’m baffled that an adult had no way to identify themselves to any official entity. She ended up leaving without buying anything. I hope she wasn’t driving home without a license!)
