I'm not going back to this place after having been treated rudely not once, but TWICE in a row here. Both times it's been the old lady working the register.
Tonight, I wanted to buy a bottle of wine and six pack of Guinness. I hold out my AMERICAN PASSPORT to the lady and she looks me dead in the eye and goes, "ID?" I gesture to my passport. And she's like "We only take state ID's here." I say, "I'm sorry? US Customs takes this. I can get into the country with this ID but not buy beer?" And she just laughs and says "Sorry, store policy." Also let me add, I'm over 25, so that idiot rule didn't apply either.
Dear rsvp:
- Do you know what kind of ID one uses to RECEIVE a driver's license? Yes, that's right, one presents a PASSPORT as the highest and most valid form of identification, requiring no second form of identification.
- Do you know how much less likely it is for you to ever encounter a fake passport than a fake Maine driver's license? An American passport costs over $10K on the black market. It's a huge felony to make them. And they're really hard to make.
- i'm freaking twenty-seven!
Like Jeff K. Said, I'm not supporting a store with such idiotic policies. Way to lose a local customer with disposable income, guys.
