They Get The ID-ea!
(My husband and I stop at a candy shop on our way home. We’ve been there multiple times and the shop has a number of very friendly employees. When paying for our purchases, I hand my credit card to the clerk.)
Clerk: *smiles* “May I please see your ID?”
Me & Husband: “Here you go!”
Me: “Thank you for asking and protecting us.”
(The clerk and the other two behind the counter are staring at us with their mouths open, immediately followed by huge grins.)
Clerk: “I wish our last customer felt that way. He screamed that we were accusing him of theft.”
Me: *shaking my head* “Yeah, you are protecting your interests but you are protecting mine, too. Why can’t people see that?”
(We received a huge round of thanks from the very nice staff and a surprise in our bag. They’d given us a little extra candy to savor on our way home!)
