The kid didn't remotely try and detain you. You could have kept walking... You're still the dick in the story
The policy of checking receipts is for every customer too. This has nothing remotely to do with rights. No one in your story was infringing on any rights.
Broome, being a dick to some dope scanning your shit doesn't get you anything. Being nice to them keeps them stacking the cans of lima beans you buy to give to the can food drives on top of your fruit loops keeping your loops unsmashed. and that's Coming from a professional dick.
No doubt, and I have never purported to be. Merely a suggestion for your calm, reasoned thoughtful consideration. Cheers, Dave
I just show them the fucking paper. Takes 2 seconds. Arguing my constitutional rights with dimwits is far more time consuming and I really don't give a shit. Problem solved.
Again, it’s all about delivery. The guy started jerking our groceries across the scanner as if it was our fault he is bagging groceries. The wife was caught off guard by it, but I didn’t mind it at all because at least by jerking them he is being efficient and fast. That’s why I went in his lane instead of the old lady’s lane to begin with...speed. It was when he chose to ignore my wife and gave her this “fuck off” look when she was just trying to be nice. That is what pissed me off. The ID thing just gave me an excuse to vent said pissedoffedness. He didn’t even have to say anything. Had he at least just smiled and acknowledged her attempt to be friendly, that would have changed things. Or if he would have been like “I know this is silly, but I have to check both of your IDs. Sorry it’s the rules”...then maybe that would have been different. But being shitty towards her, then following it up with being a dick about the IDs, yeah fuck him. I don’t give a shit what anyone thinks, I would handle it the exact same way again.
"may i please see your receipt sir?" "THE NERVE OF THIS FUCKING GUY! FUCK YOU DWEEB!" "sorry?" "WAIT TIL' I TELL THE GUYS ON WERA ABOUT THIS SHIT! I KNOW MY RIGHTS!"
He would have been my dream checkout person, had I been alone. He didn’t try to talk to me, jerked shit around with purpose, and didn’t give a fuck about being nice, he just wanted to get me out of in front of him as quickly as possible. But I wasn’t alone.
So wait - the true issue is you were pissed off at a cashier because he acted towards your wife like you act? Dude.
Guy couldnt win then. He was your dream checkout person and you are angry at him. If he was your wife dream checkout person he would be your worse nightmare.
I don't think I've had this happen. Of course, I normally sit in the truck and look at cheerleader sites while the ol lady goes in and gets it.
Way back when I had aprox $200 in groceries all rang up at Meijer and then one bottle of Vodka. I had a friend with me who was underage. The asked to see my ID, then theirs. I was so confused.. for real? I have $200 in food and your not going to sell me my bottle of booze because I have a 19 year old with me? I walked out left it all at the counter and headed over to Walmart. Unbelievable. Now had I been in the store with a 18 year old girl, only buying a bottle of booze I may have understood.
