No ID, No Idea, Part 40

I’m having a friendly chat with one of the workers at my local bottle shop while checking out, and we get to the topic of the creative excuses people have about providing ID when asked. He has some great stories but my favourite is this little gem.

Worker: “I’ll just need to see some ID before I ring you up, please.”

Customer: “I’ve left my license at home, but I have a photo of my passport info on my phone. Can I use that?”

Worker: “Tell me, if you went through border control at the airport right now, do you think that line would work with them?”

Customer: “Er, no?”

Worker: “So what makes you think it’s going to work here? You can get your alcohol when I see some proper ID. Bye!”
