Hey guys, I just came back from going to the beer store and the LCBO to stock up for a party I'm having for my good friend who is going away for pre-dep training before he goes to Afghanistan in August.
I go to the beer store, show my Military ID (which is one of those reserve Temp Cards for now) and have no problems.I never have had problems using it. I am 20 years old and that is gov ID so obviously there should be no problems, oh and it says on the wall the types of accepted ID and Canadian Forces ID is on there.
Next to the LCBO. I notice the only cashier on till is this lady that, excuse my language, like to bust my balls everytime I'm in there. She will go out of her way and say " you better be over 19, or I'll call the police" or " I'm really good a spotting fake IDs so don't even try if you have one". You get the idea. I show her my ID, and right on the wall beside her, long behold there is the same poster that explains the types of IDs you can use, and just like the other; Canadian Forces ID is there. This lady looks at it and says I've never seen this before. I can't accept this.
Our conversation went like this:
Me: but it says on the wall, CF id, and this is CF ID.
Her: Yeah, but I've never seen that before, so I'm not accepting it.
Me: OK, well, its not my fault you don't know, go get your book that shows all the IDs.
Her: (without looking) Oh i cant find it.
Me: Can you please get your manager
Her: (picks up the phone) hey *name* can you please come down here.
So the manager comes down and the clerk goes and talks to her and they have a little discussion.
Manager: we cant accept this, this can easily be created and it looks fake.
Me: OK, look at the wall, look in your book, its there ma'am.
Manager: oh, I cant find the book.
then a customer standing 2 people back whips out his CF id, which is a permanent one and says, let me see it, I am an officer in the CF. He proceeds to tell her, that is a legit ID.
So i was like, YES! they talk a sec.
Manager says: No, i cant take your word on it, these IDs are different anyways, it looks like you can make this once easily, and i believe it to be fake. I am going to hold this ID (can they do that if theres no evidence of it being fake?)
I almost hit the roof. " there is no way you are holding that ID, that is government ID and sh*t will hit the fan if you take that away from me. Call the police if you want, but you're not keeping my ID" - i wasn't yelling or anything, i was pretty calm when talking to her, trying hard to stay polite.
Manager: well do you have a Drivers license?
Me: its in my car, but that really shouldn't matter because that is legal ID. - But being the nice guy I am, a run out to my car, and grab my DL. I come back in, she compares my DL to the CF ID.
Manager: Here take them, but don't use it here again. ( i always use it there with the other cashiers, and its never has raise an issue).
Me: I suggest you find out what you are allowed to accept, because this is garbage, there is no reason I should have to suffer because you have never taken the time to do your job properly. I have never had a problem coming into this store, except with this lady. This wonderful cashier is always after me when I come in here when she has no reason to.
Manager : Do you have Airmiles?
Me: Nope, debit please.
Manager: have a nice day.
Was I wrong with what I did? I don't feel I was. I never once yelled or told her to **** off or anything, or called her a name.
Has anyone else had problems like this? I use my id to get in bars and to buy booze, never once had a problem.
I think my inability to grow facial hair helps to lead people to believe in 16 or something. I'll be a baby face until I die, but it helps for morning inspection ;D
