No ID, No Idea, Part 49
I’m shopping in a well-known warehouse club store. I’m waiting in line to buy some age-restricted products when this interaction happens.
Customer #1: “Hey, I forgot my ID, but my membership card has my picture on it, so that should work.”
Employee: “Sorry, man. You have to have a government-issued ID.”
Customer #1: “Come on! It has my picture on it, and you have to be at least eighteen to get a membership. Just accept it.”
Employee: “It has to be government-issued. If I sell to you without appropriate ID, I could lose my job.”
Customer #1: “Dude, I’ve used it before. Come on.”
Employee: “Look, man, if you don’t have ID, you need to leave.”
[Customer #1] storms off. As he passes me in the line, he mutters something under his breath that I don’t hear, but [Customer #2] behind me does.
Customer #2: “Yeah, someone here is an a**hole… but it’s not him.”
[Customer #1] turned with an angry look but realized that [Customer #2] was about a foot taller and was several pounds of muscle thicker than himself and left rapidly.
