To think this cashier was rude...

I've had a problem with her before when I have tried to by alcohol and she asked for my ID, not a problem, I showed her my passport but she said she didn't believe it and refused to sell to me. I was 25 then (26 now).

I went in with DP today, he's 16 years older than me. She asks me for ID so I show her and dp though she was asking him and started asking others how old he looked, so they said late twenties early thirties. She then started giggling and flirting with him about how young he looks and then told him that she was surprised with my ID because Im much younger than she was expecting!!!!!

Then asking him to guess her age and endless flirting...

I'm in shock, why ask me for ID anyway if you truly think I look a lot older and then be blatantly rude and flirty like that.

DP thought at first she was rude and then not so bad, maybe because of the flirting. (I don't know if it's relevant but she turned out to be 52)

Just lost for words.

But passports might not be theirs esoecailly if they look different in the pucture remeber passports last 10 years a manager should not over rule a cashier if they fell the person is underage using false id (this includes someone elses ID).*

It’s fine for a manager to override! They get paid more for more responsibility. The key is when a manager overrides they’re taking on the responsibility for the decision then, so if it was the wrong one it comes back on them not the cashier. I wouldn’t have given a shit if a manager had over rided me, all I cared about was not selling to someone underage. If the manager is happy to decide it’s fine then it’s on them and nothing to do with me anymore.

I remember when I was accused of flirting with a customer, I was just doing my polite customer service thing of making small talk and being friendly.

If it’s a power trip for them (I don’t see how thinking you are young is a power trip but whatever) then just act as if they have given you a huge compliment and you are delighted!

Now, if they had the power to refuse to sell you alcohol on the grounds you look like you drink too much or were too old, I could understand their megalomania 😀
