Let me tell you a little story...
Yesterday afternoon we stopped by our local Wal-Mart (don't hate - only option unless we drive 42 miles!) to pick up a gallon of milk & a pint of ice cream. While there, decided to grab a 12pk of beer. No big thing, right? WRONG! Now, we usually use the scan & go app so we do not have to deal with the checkout lines, etc. Since we purchased beer - all the satellites started freaking out and the swat team came out (exaggerating but a hat tip to Ron White there!). Again, minor irritation, but not that big a deal. So the lady asks to see my ID...ok - interesting since I am 60 and COMPLETELY gray headed, again - not such a huge deal. The kicker was when she asked to see my wife's (also gray headed) ID as well!!!! WTF - why??? She doesn't even drink! I was schooled by the cashier - they now are "required" to check the ID of everyone in the party. (Wonder what they would do if I had my 3 yo grandchild with me?) And yes - I do know that's a lie and I did call their corporate office when I got home to tattle.
The quick stop at Wal-Mart turned into a HUGE ordeal - needless to say, we left without the beer, milk OR ice cream! AND, in the future, our milk will have to come from further away & we will be making our own ice cream!
Granted our Walmart is a prime example of a petty, ignorant, dumb ass tyrant (store manager) hiring people who are even less qualified than him, but these people SERIOUSLY believe that they are the supreme deity and us lessor mortals must bow down & obey.
Things are getting "worser & worser" out there folks. Buckle up & be safe!
There is nothing more infuriating than a small person with a small amount of perceived power.
This is a common practice at many grocery stores. This is been going on for years. Over 15 years ago I couldn’t buy alcohol because my 15-year-old daughter was with me. It’s very common that they will card somebody else in your party, or if you have somebody to use a child they won’t even sell it to you. There of been times when I purposely told somebody to not stand in line with me so I could purchase alcohol. We live in a communist country
I use to go to the store, and if I forgot my wallet, they would just total it up and say, "we know where you live", just come back by and pay when you can." Those days are gone though.
It was sort of like, "Pay me next time you see me Josey Wales."
I hate fuxcing Walmart. I have battled them about the mask shit.
try online pickups.
Well previously pending 13 years at a prior food retailer like them I will say legally if the cashier asks for IDs that’s law no matter if you look 5 or 50. Once they can’t provide legally they can’t sell liquor. I’m not saying it’s always right but trust me I had to deal with Karen’s everyday for 13 years. I know the liquor laws in my state at least.
Walmart is a logistics company. Should war breakout, watch and see what Walmart turns into.
A few years ago in NY if you tried to buy smokes/beer in a convenience store they ID'd everyone with you. If anyone was underage they would not sell to you. Even if it was your own kid, and you told them to leave the store...the clerk would say "I already saw them. No sale."
this is common in NJ
What the fuck are you rambling on about? Reads like the writing of a mental patient.
Thank you! Appreciate your diagnosis!
Lol!
I can read it just fine glowie.
My, Mr. Computer Breath, I bet you have lots of friends
I don’t like people, so I have zero friends.
I just didn’t understand what I read from the OP.
