Work: Sting operation

Sting operation

By Anonymous - 02/08/2009 19:23 - United States

Today, I sold a customer some beer. He then asked to see the manager, and told me he was a 19 year-old undercover cop. My knee jerk reaction was to panic and curse aloud, before realizing he was balding, toothless, probably 50, certainly not a cop, and laughing at me for being such a gullible moron. FML

Today, I went to buy some beer using my fake ID, when the cute cashier and I started flirting. When he asked me how old I was, I said without thinking, "Nineteen." FML

Today, when I went to the gas station to buy beer, some underage punk outside asked me to buy him booze. I told him to get bent, but the dumbass cashier had seen me talking to him, and refused to let me buy alcohol because, "This is obviously a sting." FML

Today, I was fired for not asking a senior citizen for proof that he was over 21 and legally allowed to purchase alcohol. When I told my manager he was clearly over 21, he replied, "But what if he WASN'T?" FML

Today, I tried buying alcohol for the first time. I have a baby face, so I had my ID ready. The store owner admitted that my ID looked real enough, but he wouldn't believe it wasn't just an elaborate fake. He very nearly called the cops on me. FML

Today, at work, a midget came in to buy beer. Not only was he almost as tall as me, he got offended when I had to card him and explain that the manager told me to card everyone, and that it wasn't because he was short. FML

Today, I had to decline the sale of alcohol to a man who reeked of booze and was practically falling asleep at my till. He tried to convince me that he wasn't drunk, he was just blind. Still refusing to sell him the beer, he started yelling at me, accusing me of "being racist against the 'blinds'". FML

Today, I was waiting in the car while my mom went into a store to get beer. A few minutes later, some guy was knocking on my window telling me to open the door. I started cursing him out, thinking I was getting attacked. Turns out he worked there and was putting the beer in the car. FML

Smart move

Today, I went to buy beer underage for a party to impress a girl. I picked up the case of beer and went to the cashier, he ran it through without asking for ID. I left the store with a smirk on my face, I arrived at the party and showed the case to the girl. It was non-alcoholic. FML

Today, I tried to buy a bottle of wine from the supermarket. The scrawny, acne-ridden kid at the checkout asked to see my ID. I didn't have any on me, since I'm 37 years old and didn't expect to be asked stupid questions. I complained to his manager, only to be asked to leave. FML

Today, a customer threatened to come back later and shoot the whole place up. Why? I didn't give him a discount on his beer. My boss's reaction when I called the police: "Why didn't you give him the discount?!" Last week he bitched me out for letting a girl off for being a few cents short on hers. FML

Why in America do they ID you until you hit 35? I'm 18, I look 18, I don't get ID'd (I'm in the UK where the drinking age is 18).

Because in America, there are a lot of people who are 14 and look 20. Actually, while I was on vacation, there was this girl at our hotel pool who was 11 and she seriously looked 16. Someone asked her age and we were all totally shocked. The girl she came to the beach with was 12, a year older than her, and looked 9.

My Mom actually got asked for her ID last week. She's 46. She also looks 46. So I'm not sure why they bothered to ask.

My brother looked about 25 when he was 16. That's why they ID you until your 35. ;)

The only time I started getting ID'd was AFTER I turned the legal age, so I dont have a problem with under age drinking so long as they are not going to be an idiot about it... and normally drunk and disorderly conduct laws have more effect than underage drinking ones in my experience. And around here it is not the young ones you have to worry about driving drunk because there are normally road blocks, and also there is a zero tolerance for drunk driving, more so if you are on a learners/new driver permit, so you dont see too many younger people getting behind the wheel after a few road pops. op: Thx for making my day!

would def be an FML if he really had been an undercover cop. Pretty sure that would be a $500 fine to the establishment AND a $500 fine to the actual person that sold it to them. So I hear at least. Since he wasn't, it's more of a FML in an "I'm a dumbass" kind of way
