Ooohhh I was so pissed off at Shaws today, I'm not going back there to shop again for a while.
Maybe ever.
We went to get some things for dinner, and James grabbed some beer and wine coolers as well.
We get into line, now normally I go through the self checkout thing, but I always forget that when I've got alcohol in my cart I've got to wait until someone can card me. So this time I swung into a line with a cashier. He starts ringing up my purchases, and then asks us for id before he can sell me the beer.
Fine.
I gave him my license, and he said "No, I need it from both of you"
Both of us? James didn't have his wallet on him. I drove us there, I was paying with my debit card.
I explained this to him, but he said he needed to see both our ids or he couldn't sell it to us! Even though I was buying and we were both obviously old enough!
I started to argue with him, and this really snooty rude little girl that was bagging for us, started in on how it was policy and that's that.
Now I love James, I think he is as sexy as can be, but the fact is that he is a balding, 36 year old man.
They carded me and I'm 25.
He is obviously older than I am.
What the fuck?
So I said, that's fine, I'll bring our stuff home and come back alone after dinner.
Nope.
They won't sell to me again today, at all, unless I bring his id back with me, even if he doesn't come back to the store with me.
I asked to speak to the manager, and she agreed with them.
I could not believe what I was hearing. I understand that a law is a law, a policy is a policy, but there are times I don't get carded at all. And the mananger herself has come to the self checkout and put me through without even looking at my id!!!!!!!
I was so angry... And I felt stupid, like an alcoholic or something, but I just couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Apparently, they don't have to card, but once they choose to, that's it.
Stupid.
I mean really!
Things you can only learn from movies and television...
If I see one more little winky...
right now
