Wife’s ID, No Idea, Part 52

I work in a grocery store where we’re required to see ID to buy cigarettes regardless of how old the customer is. I have a guy come in wanting two packs of cigarettes.

Me: “Can I see your ID?”

Customer: “I don’t have it, but my birthday is [date].”

Me: “I need your physical ID.”

Customer: “It’s in my car.”

Me: “I need to see it.”

He goes to get it and comes back in with an ID. I go to scan it, and then he tells me this key piece of information.

Customer: “This is my wife’s ID.”

Me: “Sir, I told you I needed your ID. Since this isn’t yours, I can’t sell you the cigarettes.”

Customer: “Are you f****** kidding me?!”

The customer stormed out, and then his wife came in and bought the cigarettes.

The funny part is that the guy was old enough that I wasn’t going to look at the front of the ID, so had the guy not said it was his wife’s ID, I never would’ve known.
