The strangeness of strangers

Today, while at work as a cashier, I tried to be sweet and ID an elderly man buying a bottle of wine. He responded by calling me a "blind-ass bitch" and calling my manager for "harassing" him. FML

Some people just need to learn to take compliments once in a while...

I think you'd get a better result if you did that to an old lady

Been there it sucks. I always try to tell the customer to take it as a compliment but you always get that one person who has to cause a scene over asking for I.D.

For me, this could go either way. Yeah, it's obvious he's old so you shouldn't HAVE to I.D. him, but I guess it would be the legal thing to do. On the other hand, asking for his I.D. is the legal thing to do and can be taken as a complement. So, OP, sucks for you, but I would've done the same thing.

I'm sorry OP. I guess some people are just bitter.

What's funny is Walmart makes you card everyone, so if OP worked there then they really had no choice.

There was an old man that used to come into my shop all the time. Usually, his favorite topic of discussion was what he had for lunch that day. Once, when the place was full of customers, I decided to be nice and asked him what he had for lunch. He screamed, "I had PUSSY!" at the top of his lungs...
