I once ran into a 7-11, bought a 6 pack of beer, paid, went to my car, then realized I forgot cigarettes. I ran back in, asked for the cigs, and the (same) cashier asked for my id. I was like "uh, dude. You JUST checked it for me to buy alcohol, so I'm over 21, so why do you need to see it again to buy something that's age restricted to 18?"

He kind of gave me a blank look for a minute and still asked for my id. Moral of the story: there are some people who just follow the rules really closely.

Yeah. And cops spot check those folks all the time, not to mention they are on camera.

National ids would be the mark of the beast and that's terrible.

I'm not joking, by the way. There's just enough people who unironically believe that to gently caress it up for the rest of us. :dawkins101:

I once watched a middle-aged man freak out at a liquor store cashier who asked for his ID. He eventually just left his stuff on the counter and walked out.

Is that even a thing? Cashiers keeping a book of all 50 state IDs so they can check out-of-staters?

And just LOL at bragging about your high school GPA to prove you're too smart to get a fake ID that only lets you buy tobacco.

Yes. And no not just if there's a college nearby. The place I worked had one with a big ol "Brought to you by Budweiser" logo on it. And quite frankly if the dude went off on my like that I would have drug the process out even longer because gently caress you dude just doin' my job. It's a 10k fine and possible jailtime if it's a state sting. If it's the BARS program it's anything from a write up to a termination. Just get your ID out and accept it.

Hell if I was having a poo poo day I carded everyone for everything.

India and some other countries uses lakh, which are 100,000, annotated as 1,00,000 and up. So a million is 10,00,000, ten million is 1,00,00,000, etc. Could be regionalized for one of those countries. Unless you mean that 300k people though this was worth responding to.

All She Sees Is A Costumed Villain
Department Store | Toledo, OH, USA | Working | May 26, 2015

(I’m a training costumer and have gone to a Goodwill-type store to look for pieces for my newest project. I strike gold with the first store and find a beautiful dress just perfect for the piece. Practically giddy at my good luck, I hurry to the register to pay for it.)

Cashier: “Well, you seem awfully chipper.”

Me: “Sorry. I was expecting to search all over town for a dress like this, but found it on my first try!”

Cashier: “Well, I’m glad you were able to find something. Big dance or something?”

Me: “Oh, no, I’m a costumer. I’m going to use this for a costume project.”

(Right then, the cashier’s face turns stormy and she promptly reaches out and snatches the dress away from me.)

Cashier: “You snotty little s***! How dare you come into this store?!”

Me: “Huh?!”

Cashier: “I guess it never occurred to you that poor people come into this store and buy clothes they desperately need! And here you come flouncing in to buy their clothes for a stupid costume!”

Me: “But… I’ve been doing this for years.”

Cashier: “That’s even worse! You’re lucky I don’t call the cops on you, you little thief! Get out! Don’t you ever set foot in here again! Get out before I call security! NOW!”

(By this time, the whole store has gone quiet as everyone stares at us. The swift sound of footsteps approaching alerted us to a manager hurrying over.)

Manager: “What the bloody h*** is going on?”

Cashier: “This pathetic little snob was stealing our clothes, [Manager].”

Manager: “Huh?”

Me: “I swear I wasn’t, miss! I was about to pay for that!”

Manager: “Then where did she get the idea you were going to steal it?”

Me: “I honestly don’t know. I just mentioned that I was going to use it for a costume and she flipped out.”

Cashier: “See? She even admits it! She admits to stealing poor people’s clothes to use in ridiculous costumes!”

(The manager gives her an incredulous look, sighs, and pushes her aside.)

Manager: “Will that be cash or credit, miss?”

Me: “Cash.”

Cashier: “WHAT?! You’re still going to sell it to her? She’s STEALING it from people who NEED it!”

Manager: “[Cashier], I highly doubt that every poor person in the city is lining up to buy fancy ball gowns. Whatever you’ve been smoking on break, you’d better toss it before I toss you.”

(She bagged the dress and I thanked her quickly, scurrying out while the cashier proceeded to scream after me again. I didn’t go back for a few weeks, but when I did, I found out she’d been fired for her antics, which included trying to have a little boy buying a stuffed animal arrested because he didn’t look ‘poor’ enough. I still shop there and the bargains are always awesome.)

There are some people who get legitimately angry at well off people buying from op shops, which is kind of silly, and I say this as someone who grew up povvo. They're not there just to provide poo poo to poors, they're also there to sell poo poo to well off people and use the profits (because they sure as hell make profits) on funding soup kitchens, homeless shelters, etc. That's the plan, anyway, depending on the organisation more or less money might be spent on their gay conversion therapy camps or the "throw rocks at refugees" campaign.

A lot of charity shops these days have "high end" stores which cater specifically to rich hipsters with a price tag to match. To be honest even most Lifelines and Vinnie's are more expensive than just buying cheap and nasty sweatshop clothes from Best and Less or Kmart these days.

Has this guy ever used a lockpick? They are useless for most modern locks. And there's no way his lockpick was a surprise to anyone because people who buy lockpicks show them off all the time.

Lockpicks are also a great way to turn a police encounter from "thank you sir, have a good evening" to an hour at the back of a cruiser while they search your car

One of the Goodwill's near me seems to cater to well-off, thin people. Can't find clothes for a typical goon or goonette and they had a $50 purse. At Goodwill.

Nah, most house locks are ANSI grade 3 'good', which are actually pretty crap and easy to pick.
