Where There’s Smoke, There’s Backfire, Part 2
(A young customer is trying to purchase cigars, so I ask for his ID. Note: I’m Caucasian, and so is he.)
Customer: “Why you askin’ for my ID for cigars? They ain’t cigarettes.”
Me: “It is a tobacco product and illegal to sell to minors.”
Customer: “That’s bulls***! Gimme a swisher! You’re just racist against me! Gimme a f***ing swisher!”
(Suddenly, the customer behind him speaks up. It turns out they’re a police officer.)
Officer: “He can’t without your ID. If you have a problem with it, let’s go outside. We can call your parents and we’ll have discussion about disturbing the peace.”
Customer: *turns pale and leaves*
