The policy itself is fine because it's supposed to apply at checkout and not whenever people enter the store. What's stupid is the manager for arguably not being able to read.
Meanwhile, I used to go buy beer and wine in many local stores for my mother, for many years when I was a minor in my country (18). Here we don't have licenses/permits for establishments, just a fine if someone with legal power bother to.
No, it's not. You can't buy alcohol if even ONE person with you is underage. Even if it's your own newborn baby. It's the law, and it's that way for a damn good reason.
Reminds me of when I was a kid staying over with my dad. I think we were going swimming, stopped at a BP for pop and for my dad to get a couple Redd's. Babyface kinda runs in my dad's side of the family, me and my dad both age pretty well. But at the time I was literally a kid. So the cashier cards my dad, then tries to card *me!* I guess she thought my dad and I were a couple?? (horrible) Never mind the fact that I wasn't even in high school and my dad was already in his 30's. I forget what exactly my dad said verbatim, but he replied to her something along the lines of "Her ID?? That's my daughter, she's 13 fuckin' years old!" Afaik the store had no policy, and my home state has no law about minors not even being allowed with you. It was such a bizarre experience.
Same. What an idiot she is. All she need to to was apologise and say some words to show she understands the OP's frustration. How useless she is as her job!
I can tell you for a fact that she did. Companies are VERY sensitive about those reviews. I guarantee you that the first thing they did was check the cameras themselves and saw that he said was true, which is why he got that phone call. Unfortunately he didn't do the smart thing call customer service AFTER that call and report her, she would have been fired then and there.
Damn not a lot of thinking for someone who apparently worked in retail for many years. The big “revenge” was most likely at the cost of some poor kid working a minimum wage job as everyone knows that manager isn’t the one doing the heavy lifting. Nothing like taking back your “revenge” on the people who didn’t do anything whilst also not actually getting any revenge on the company or business.
I worked at a gas station. YAY, BEER SALES! If we denied a sale of beer because another customer walked in at the same time, we'd never sell beer. And you deal with enough drunk idiots that you can't sell to, that a simple sell is nice. It's illegal here to sell alcohol to someone who is already drunk.
When I was a kid I used to go with my dad when he'd go to the liquor store to pick up beer. They used to give kids a lollipop. I can't imagine a store not selling alcohol to someone because they have someone under 21 with them. Let alone the bazaar idea of assuming just because two people walk in at the same time their together. Even as an adult I don't drink, I'd be pissed if some store wanted my ID because someone else I was with wanted to purchase alcohol. I'd worry they were collecting personal information for some nefarious purpose. Also a lot of people "look young" that's why we have ID.
@@imzadi83fanvids7 denying someone alcohol because they have a child with them is law in many countries. that said the employee here was still on a power trip and absolutely stretching the definition of their denial policies to the max
@@beebs4283 Wow, if it was the law where I am I would have had to have made sure my kid stayed in the car when I did my shopping, which is when I also purchased wine to take to bbq's etc, as I had very little time when he wasn't with me in the little free time I had.
I love how OP in the traffic stop cop story basically got confirmation from the Captain that as long as they can get the Captain's coffee on time, nobody will EVER block their driveway xD
Story 2: The hell is wrong with that guy? Did they decide to try and ruin someone's day or was the store being run by idiots that day? Whatever it was, the store really needs to get their people's heads straight
Run by idiots. As said in the story OP entered with another person who was NOT with them. As to the comment to that story where they said they didnt know the time they were born, that has ZERO to do with anything. The OP there should have contacted their state licensing office and filed a complaint against those jokers.
He didn't need to have 10,000 dollars. He was going to get refunded one way or the other. The 10.000 dollars aren't drawn from his account before checkout.
@@GamerGrovyle some stores will place a hold on your card for online orders the instance you press checkout to ensure you have the funds so it's possibly OP really did have 10 grand to just play with like that. For the record I am including the possibility that OP had either 10 grand in his bank or on a credit card. Either way it would need to be available to spend for the order to even go through to the store.
So, if they come IN together, they are automatically a party and OP couldn't shop and leave without the other person (who they didn''t know), but the other random person could shop and leave 30 minutes prior without any trouble? Morons
And how much do you want to bet OP and his "shopping partner" didn't even interact? I'm pretty sure whenever I went wandering around stores with my friends, we'd always be together chatting about stuff.
@@akl2k7 tagged along with some Uni friends to a bottle-o and it was like the mother duck (or, the friend who knew which wine she wanted), and a trail of ducklings just trotting along behind, chatting and joking around. like, it's obvious when a multiple people are together, even if they split in the store to buy different stuff. although that does remind me, a store once refused to sell my dad anything when I was underage, despite me just tagging along because waiting in the car is boring. Pissed him right off.
That second story is the kind of example you'd read about as to why you should go call corporate and end them. Mind you, OP's revenge was pretty great by making them breaking their backs for them and then pulling the rug from under them. Though it seems like there's a fair few stories of liquor store higher ups going on power trips/getting drunk on power?
It is kind of wild to me, because in my country, the only places allowed to sell hard liquor is state owned. So the regulations are the same everywhere and the stores don't really aim to sell as much as possible. As a result, they have a pretty big selection but never any sales.

@@MinusTheCoffeeActually, since it was around the holidays and they "bought" their entire stock of certain liquors that are popular, it's totally possible they cost the company at least a few grand for the booz they couldn't sell. But I agree that they're just making some minimum wage workers life that much harder.
The second story makes me remember my 21st birthday. I went to a bigger, better known liquor store and tried to check out, they told me they wouldn't sell me anything because my ID expires on your birthday in my state. I had looked up the relevant laws and I was waiting to turn 21 before renewing because licenses under 21 had that written on them in big red lettering and the picture background was red instead of blue. The law says that the ID was valid until end-of-day and I was scheduled to renew the next day. So, legally, I was 21, but my ID said under 21. The nice liquor store denied me, even though my ID was legal and showed me as 21. The small, less fancy liquor store I found was great. I got drinks and the guy even gave me a single-shot bottle for my birthday. I frequented that store until I moved away.
I remember going to a grocery store to get a single alcoholic drink. I showed my ID to the employee. Employee: This isn't you. Me:...What? Employee: This isn't you on the license. Me: Um...yes, it is me. I showed my credit card to her to prove it. Employee: Oh. Why wasn't it me? I had my hair up in a ponytail, while my hair was down on my license.
I've had this happen SO many times -_- My hair was up and I had my glasses on in the ID photo, but I usually wore my hair down, and if someone else was driving, I usually wouldn't have my glasses on. I didn't look that much different though, but there were so many instances, mostly at one store in particular with the same cashier every time, where I'd have to dig around in my purse for a hair tie and my glasses case to prove that it was me on the ID. I made sure to have my hair down in my renewed license photo.
Playing sims, a car ride, or doing schoolwork, rSlash has been here for me so that I can listen to interesting stories. Thanks for your channel dude, been listening for 4 years now, and helped me get through hard times
OP: "Your coffee would be a little late." Captain: "But why?" OP: **Points to the butthole officer** Captain: **Glares at officer** "Peace was never an option."
I knew the captain would tear in to that officer, because rather you know it or not. Don't cause his coffee to be late. Especially since that is his routine spot for it
I work the distribution side of alcohol sales. And we hate bottle orders. Our way of discouraging customers from ordering bottles is called a 'split case fee'. If we have to break a case (open a case to pull bottles) we charge minimum $2.25. Even at our level, pulling single bottles is a pain in the butt.
Story 4: Geez, other people not bringing in their trash on time is not your business. You don't touch their trash can unless you want to start a fight, which I bet is what the neighbor wanted
Right. It's also weird and gross imo to want them to be punished for it ... and therefore have extra full trash of rotting food and who knows what else just sitting there for an extra week.
Should call back the next week and cancel the service, as they seem to go on address alone. That way they will first need to arrange for service, and also ask for a special pickup, at a cost, because they now have 4 full bins of garbage in the house. Just have to say they are moving, and will arrange a new service when they are at the new address.
@@shauna_tac They punished OP and their housemates because *they were sick* and put the trash out late. SICK. So why exactly is it gross to get back at them for: -leaving out trash knowing there's wildlife in the neighbourhood and not picking it up when it's predictably thrown around, presumably multiple times -trespassing on your property to arbitrarily punish YOU for the grievous sin of being late in putting out the trash while your whole house is down sick. They deserved it fully.
The wine story reminds me of a comedian who made a joke about being carded when buying wine or champagne. The typical teenage's achohol of choice isnt going to be wine. 😅😅
With Story 2: I work for Walmart and our policy is that we can't sell anyone alcohol without an ID. If they look to be older than 21, but younger than 40. And we can't sell anyone alcohol if they don't have their ID with them. I once had an elderly gentleman with a younger gentleman (don't know if it was his son or grandson) come through self checkout. I was waiting on standby to approve of the older gentleman as I expected him to be the one to pick it up. It was the younger man. I had went to get his ID checked. He admitted that he never carries around an ID so I had to take the older man's alcohol because the young person that he was with, admitted that he never carries around an ID.
One of my neighbors actually stopped the trash guy when I came out way too late to put my can out. The trash guy actually backed up and took. My trash can when I missed it.That's the kind of neighbor that you want.
The Thumbnail for this is from the aftermath of a truck carrying a load of hagfish crashing. Hagfish secrete a slimy mucuse when atttacked or stressed. Apparently the cleanup for this took a awhile, and had to get firefighters out to hose the slime off.
That skunk attracting idea is genius. I used to work at a golf course and we had one skunk rip up nearly all the grass on one of our tee boxes in a single night.
Second story must have happened in Texas. Never once had that kind of bs pulled on me until I got here. That is the dumbest rule ever and on top of it, the store can "be selective", if you know what I mean. 😠
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it sure is bigotry, and this conversation is the epitome of outright disregarding another person's experience. It's so easy when you're behind a keyboard, isn't it?
10:40 in Texas, the law says 21 years, and 3:00 am the day after, so 21 years and a day. Alcohol sales end at midnight (except Saturday into Sunday morning, it’s 1 am). Is it stupid? Absolutely. Do I have to follow it? Yes…
Ugh, I work retail and I HATE having to card people. Our store policy is to card Everyone, no matter their age and we can't sell if their license is expired. The amount of grown adults yelling at me, threatening me is ridiculous. It's posted everywhere in our store. I don't want to do it but they drill into us the fines, jail time and all that. Those people at the wine store were jerks though and deserved it.
we have a similar policy at our store, but it kinda became "if you ask for their id and they don't have it when you ask then you can't sell" cause we have so many regulars that it becomes redundant to ask for their id
@@JunkRatt1985Yeah, if they don't have their ID, even if I see that person every day, we also can't sell to them. It is so annoying. I've explained to people, I even have to card my manager every time she buys her cigarettes and she's my dad's age, lol. Also the amount of people that apparently drive without their license on them is astounding where I live.
For story 2: I live in Australia (18 is the legal drinking age) and once when I was 20 I had to show ID, my brothers ID and got side eye from the bartender (bro is 2 years old but the guy was sus thinking I used his ID thinking we are twins. I know that due to other people having asked a few times). Other time was in Las Vegas when I was in the 30s and got denied… twice. First time: I looked underage, we back and had my father buy the drink and give it to me and the person was ok with that. Second time: would not accept my driver’s license (Australian one) and said I look to young. That time we just left for another bar
@@SeanBZA sounds like my one time with my brother lol. He was 16 or 17 and under age to enter the club (different kind to the ones in America) but went with my mum and some family friends for trivia. Staff ignored him (he’s tall) but 2 others at another table didn’t. They walked over and said “Hi (brothers name). What are you do here?” All confused. Turned out they were 2 of my brothers teachers and helped A LOT with a later incident at his school.
Reminds me, ages ago my mother told me she got her "fake id" by taking her older sister's papers to the court house and getting a "valid" id with them, so it would pass any tests as long as the person checking it didn't know her actual name
True, but those ants wouldn't just stay in the neighbor's yard, they'd get EVERYWHERE. Even if they'd be mostly concentrated in nasty neighbor's yard then you and several other neighbors would be dealing with them too.
Story 2: on the complete flip side, I went to the liquor store on my 21st birthday and THEY DIDN'T EVEN CARD ME. I was robbed of my first official "Yeah, I'm old enough for this" moment 😢
Speaking of pointless powertripping, my then-husband and I were planning to rent a car and drive to our honeymoon destination The car rental place required customers to have a credit card and a drivers' licence. I had a credit card, but don't drive. My husband had a drivers' licence, but no credit card. The person at the car rental place took great glee in saying that we could not rent a car, then claimed that if I had taken my husband's surname, we would have been allowed. >:( We ended up having to arrange for someone else to rent the car.
I would have gotten a thing on social media telling him about what happened to me at this liquor store and that we need to boycott them because they apparently don't like multiple people in their store at the same time.
I went clubbing for my 18th birthday (Aus) and got a 'happy birthday' but ngl I probably looked nervous as shit so the poor bloke took pity on me haha.
Bro I couldn't get alcohol on a date with my friend because she "looked too young and wasn't drinking?? Realllllly???" She was freshly 21 that day and the dd cuz she didn't want to drink at the restaurant 😒 these power trips 😑
The thing about the lawyers also applies in Alberta, Canada where I live. A couple I know was splitting and the crap bag 💩husband called every lawyer in about a 500 km radius so his wife couldn’t access any of them. He used to be a friend. 🤦🏽♀️
ugh, that happens a lot at Wal-Mart, where if someone else walks in "too close to you" you can't purchase alcohol or tobacco until "We see the ID of your entire party" Went half in on a 12-pack of beer with a friend, but his girlfriend and a former friend of mine were with us. They were 20, so they had to wait in the car to prevent this from happening. No, we did NOT give the beer to the underaged people. That was for us.
Lmao! The alcohol revenge made my day... It is so frustrating to be denied for looking young. Even in my 30s I would get accused of having a fake ID cause I looked barely legal.. Now to avoid that I put on heavy make up to look my age, otherwise I still get hassled because I look like im maybe in my mid 20s not almost done 40
That happened to me the other day. I’m 30 and I was buying beer for my parents. The lady looked at my ID and said it didn’t look like me (I had gotten a haircut and it’s been 8 years) and that I should get a new one. Then she asked if I was using my cousins ID. She was being pretty mild about it, she was obviously still giving me the beer but I was tired and just wanted to go home. I just looked at her and said, “the only cousin who looks like me is dead” took the beer and left. Like lady, if I was going to use a fake ID it wouldn’t say I was 30 nor would I admit to it. Plus, I am not sitting through the DMV and going through the hassle of getting a new license because I got a haircut.
My family members all look young for our ages as well. People never seem to believe us when we tell them our real ages because we look significantly younger. This is why many stores have employees take special trainings on how to spot real IDs vs fake ones. Here the police can be called if needed, especially if the store employees refuse to give back the person's ID.
God i hate total wine. Everytime i go there they think my id is fake and pull out the big binder and a light and the manager gets called and turns out my ID i real. They always so oh the id is bent so it seems suspicous. I sat on my id wrong in my back pocket and bent the corner slightly. Its not so bad anymore but the year i turned 21 it was each and everytime.
First Story: I’m going to listen to this one again because I don’t get the petty revenge Second Story: This is 100% a power trip and that policy is dumb as hell. So if 2 people (complete strangers) come into the store at the same they are automatically considered a party? That is dumb as hell Comment: Please tell me that is fake, no way that is an actual thing. "We don’t know the time of day u was born" what???? Third Story: Well damn, the Captain really wants his coffee. This man chewed out one of his officers for causing OP to be late which indirectly caused him to be late for his 6am coffee Fourth Story: OP isn’t an asshole here, that douche of a neighbor is. How are u this much of a stickler for the rules that u decide to trespass on someone's property just because it was out before 7am? The fact they was glaring at OP for picking up THEIR trash that was on OP's yard and putting it back in THEIR their trash can is insane. They deserved what they got Comment: Sounds like a great idea to me
I graduated law school and am attempting to pass the bar. If a potential client come in for an interview it must be taken as if that person IS a client. Confidentially attaches and if there is ANY communication regarding the pending litigate the attorney is barred from representing the other side. This is why attorneys do conflict checks BEFORE an interview. If they do the interview with opposing side, or take them on as a client it's seen as a unfair advantage and the attorney could be punished by either sanction, license suspension, or even dis-barment
I worked at a convenience store that sold beer and liquor. We had an annoying policy that said we couldn't sell alcohol to anyone who had a vertical ID. Regardless of age, really hated having to deny people I knew were old enough, but just didn't have the horizontal version.
"Well, you look young". You are not allowed to say that AFTER being presented with a valid ID. ETA: He got that phone call for one reason: Their DM or higher is now breathing down her neck about the flagrant policy violation HER employees committed and is likely about to be investigated by company. Especially after that refund, which is likely to get OP in trouble with the company, though it's likely to get HER in more trouble for causing this with her employees behavior.
I live in California and had been a smoker since 18, 7 months before my 21st birthday the state voted to change the legal age for tobacco products to 21. On my 21st birthday, I wanted to flex my age, I went down to a gas station to buy a 32 oz Miller high Life ( because I didn't know a good beer was) and a pack of cigarettes. I handed the guy my ID and said it's my 21st birthday today this is the first time I'm buying alcohol. The guy behind the counter looked at me handed me my ID back as he says "I can't consider you 21." Sir, excuse me.
So my BFF used to work right next door to a liquor store. She drank alot of whiskey & vodka, and I used to enjoy cheap wine. She never got her license so I used to pick her up all the time. Often we'd grab booze from next door, either together or I'd just go before grabbing her. Now to be fair, we both looked young. I'm in my late 30's now but people still guess me in my late teens/early 20's. So I try to always keep my ID on me because I always get carded. But we came in so often that the owner (dude in his 60's at least) knew us both by name and knew we were well over 21 so he often didn't card us, even when I had my card in my hand. So eventually I stopped bringing every single time. So one day I go in by myself. I cheerfully say 'hi' and grab my wine. I go up to pay and he goes to check me out. Suddenly his wife- a fat angry Karen (well before the meme but she had the haircut and everything) and screams at him to STOP. She says there is no way I'm over 21. I said I was closer to 30 than to 21. I pointed out that her husband knew me by name and in fact had my b-day memorized. But he just shrank, sad and embarrassed and mumbled he couldn't complete the sale. I even offered to get my ID as I had just left it in the car. NOPE. Apparently Karen thinks that if you don't have it on your person that it doesn't count. It wasn't even the weird rule she was making. Like I would've got it (kinda) if she had been apologetic but firm. Like 'I'm sorry but rule XZY states we just can't do it." But it was her ATTITUDE. She was mean, insultimg and called me a liar and a little girl. She legit was NUTS. So last time I ever bought ANYTHING there. Pretty sure they wen't under shortly after. Wonder why?
I was a nightclub security guard and this guy came in on his 18th birthday (the legal age to drink here in Australia). His friends asked me to prank him so I told him the day of his birthday didn't count and to come back in tomorrow. I kicked him out for about 10 seconds then said "You didn't actually believe that did you?" Then let him straight back in and his friends all broke down laughing their asses off.
As a former server, you actually can get fined or even arrested for selling alcohol on the night of someone’s 21st. Well, in certain states. You normally have to just tell them to come back the next day.
The twin liquor story reminded me of the time i went in and they carded me for buying something non alcoholic. the cashier threw me a lot of attitude because i didn't have my id ready. I'm sorry, i didn't know i needed an ID to buy juice
OP in the first story should also report hobag lawyer to the Bar, having a personal relationship wit a client is a big nono that could get her disbarred.
As someone that leads an online pickup department, that revenge was diabolical. There’s nothing worse than going through all the trouble we have to go through to fulfill a large order, just for the customer to never pick it up.
my brother had an issue with a manager at a store when he went to buy some vodka, he got denied and told he was banned from ever buying at the store because his ID was from a different state even though he was 25 at the time. funny enough the same store closed down a few months after the incident.
Story 1 - Check with a lawyer about consulting with every lawyer in the city. Some Judges don't like that and may force you to pay to fly in a lawyer from out of state. Sounds good, but can backfire horribly.
Related to the wine store story…My birthday is September 11th (before 9/11) and my 21st birthday was on a Wednesday. I was in a late Tuesday night bowling league on the 10th. It was after midnight when I headed home, and I decided to buy beer for the first time. I carried it the counter while holding my ID in the other hand. When they saw it was my birthday, the 2 guys working the counter congratulated me on it being my birthday. They happily took my money. They didn’t even ask what time of day I was born. Joke’s on them- I was born in the evening!
Since I've been working retail, a local store from a big grocer chain got stung by the cops near the end of last year. Due to this, a good portion of stores big and small, chain or not have changed their policies regarding alchohol and cigarettes. Everyone is requiring ID regardless of age, the idea being that if you check everyone, there is less of a chance you'll let someone underage by, or simply be aware that someone has a marked ID with a court order not to serve them alcohol. Our store in particular requires anyone that makes a purchase of alcohol/tobacco products to show their ID and if their party, ie. someone that is obviously with them (walks with them into the store, interacts with them, and keeps up with them), touches anything alcoholic, they have to show their ID as well. If that party leaves before checkout, regardless whether or not they grabbed something for purchase by the main buyer, we can't sell to them as long as the party was touching things before they left. We've had so many people get pissed off by this policy, but not much we can do about it since we have camera's on us 24/7 and many of us have already been reprimanded for not following through on policy. It did however catch a father/son duo in that the son went around and grabbed a lot of things left and his dad tried to pay for it. The son was underage... so yay I guess. We caught one person and pissed off everyone else.
Last story instead of berf bullion cubes use any of the following tuna juice,clam juice or boil some shrimp & use that. Mix with a little water,freeze into cubes. Not only will it draw animals but flies as well & the stench.
The wine one hit me hard since I was denied booze at a beer garden once because I was still using my vertical ID. (I was 22 at the time and every other bar tender or alcohol servier I talked to confirmed I was alright to drink)
@@maxbaker7841 ngl, I've never heard of this before unless it applies to other states cause I know VA it becomes invalid once the expedition date happens (which can be up to 2 years or so) and vertical Id's are also common for people who can't drive Source: I renewed my I'd right before my 21st so I still had the "under 21" card for a while until the expiration date. The alcohol place would have to check my birth date, the expiration date, and scan it to make sure it was valid. And it was valid for 2+ years lmfao
@@maxbaker7841 perhaps in a different state. Mine was still legal at the time, and it wasn't just 6 months, it was closer to a couple years (it was an Indiana license btw), and was accepted a couple days later at a different bar.

@@maxbaker7841I know everyone is saying this, but you either live somewhere really weird or you pulled that out of your ass, I know someone who got an id when they were 17, and it didn't expire until they were almost 26, but according to your logic it would've been invalid for the majority of the time they had it
Actual protip: Judges don't take kindly to the "consultation with every lawyer in town" trick. If they catch wind of it, any leniency they might afford you is gone.
Several years ago I had a stroke. Luckily, I don't have any of the usual symptoms of one side of your body flailing like a fish out of water. I do, however, have amazing vertigo. Think of having three or four beers in your system all the time! My neurologist rightly took away my drivers license. I received a letter from the DMV to turn in my license, but I ignored it (they never followed up, and I don't drive--if I accidentally off myself, that is one thing, but if I do it to someone else...I just couldn't handle it.). On my birthday, late this summer, that license expires. It is suspended, but the computers don't check that when buying alcohol (One would be surprised at how often a 52 year old man with a beard gets carded!). I've just applied to renew my passport. I can't wait to be carded and show my passport instead of my driver's license. It will be hilarious!
My driveway: Officers are not allowed to block driveways unless it is an emergency, and a routine traffic stop is not an emergency. A traffic stop lasting 45 minutes is also way more than is needed for a routine traffic stop.
I dont think the alcohol one is fair bc most of that has to be done by the curbside pickup workers which had no involvement in op’s altercation, and from my experience atleast in the 2 walmarts i worked in the managers just give us the keys to the sealed stuff(or for electronics the associate in that department holds the keys) except for space management for the curbside area and the online part of the order op didnt really give the managers much work and just punished the workers for it.
The origin to the thumbnail is actually pretty interesting, the car was carrying a bunch of hagfish which, when threatened, make slime that's all over the car. The car in the thumbnail got into a crash and (from what I remember) it took *days* to clean up the slime from the hagfish Tldr: guy was transporting hagfish for research, got into a carcrash, hagfish did the thing in the rhbnail
I had a wicked cold when I was a teen and when me and my mom went to Walgreens the woman that helped us find the medicine HANDED it to me (she knew I was a kid) WALKED us to checkout, and proceeded to tell us she couldn’t sell it to us because I was a minor holding it
I used to work retail, it is against the law where I live to sell to someone on their 18th bday, the day after is ok, the government would send kids in on their bday to test this, ugh
A magnum of Smirnoff for $18.49? What profit margins does that place run on? Our council has a guideline (not a hard and fast rule) than your bins can be out for a maximum of 8 hours either side of pick-up. Everyone puts them out the night before, and some don't bother even taking them in for a few days.

I had that happen to me when I went to buy my ar on my 18th birthday, "I can't sell it to you today because I don't know the time of day you were born". At least the guy was cool about it and it wasn't just a power trip. Came back the next day and bought it no problem
Working in a supermarket in the UK (mentioned because I'm not sure if laws are different) I know you have to be very careful when selling alcohol to people who could potentially be underage as the consequences can be severe. Worst case scenario you get £1000 fine, sacked and imprisonment. There's also what is called a proxy sale which means that even if the person is IDed as the correct age, they could be buying for people who are underage so the sale would be illegal.
I hope the two managers and the clerk got a very stern lecture from corporate about their behavior after they learned of their behavior. OP did a great job letting corporate know through his actions (ordering and then telling them that a employee "refused to allow them to pick up the alcohol because he looked young") just what type of power trip the managers and the clerk were on.
When I was getting divorced as I was tired of the ex sleeping with everything, he spoke with all of the attorneys within 50 miles of our home. - and yes, not one of them could represent me. I ended up finding some attorney who was about 80 and had one foot in the grave to represent me . He was horrible. and yep the ex had hired two, not one, but two of the best divorce attorneys, and I got screwed to the wall in the divorce
I went to a gas station near my brothers house on my 21st birthday to buy a bottle and I got turned away from that “idk what time you were born” reason so I walked out a little sad. My brother then said nah let’s try that again and walked in with me and asked why they turned me away and they immediately changed their minds. We weren’t rude or anything it’s just that my brother used to buy liquor there very often cause he was too lazy to go to the store and he was making really good money at the time. As soon as they recognized him they said it was cool 😅 I think they didn’t wanna upset someone who spent so much at their store. Either way someone was buying a bottle so I didn’t care but it was a funny experience.
,my kids & their friends always get a kick of my “thick New York accent” we live in New York.. born and raised.. I don’t notice it until I’m watching rslash.. and he says coffee…dog..walk…talk…etc.. it’s hilarious to me how different we say these words lol
I have heard (don't know if it's true), that if you go to every divorce lawyer in your area in an attempt to create conflicts of interest preventing your spouse from using them, it really pisses off any judge if they figure out what you did. So it may be counterproductive to do this.
My beautiful, younger sister poured cod oil under the seats of my then Camaro decades ago when I was in college. It smelled FOREVER and impossible to clean up. Great petty revenge prank.
Everyone in the comments seem to be going after the manager in the wine story, but letting the cop off the hook despite the fact that he was equally obnoxious. The captain might have been joking, but I think he should have told his officers to stop blocking people’s driveways period. Also, forty five minutes for a routine traffic stop? WTF??
Story 1: Conflict of interest. Yes. Have to hire another lawyer: Not necessarily. Several years after my divorce, I got a call from a lawyer I had consulted but who had not handled my divorce. My ex was consulting him. I laughed. I could waive that it was a conflict of interest so the lawyer could represent my ex. I waived it, since I knew he didn't have a case. I still won.
The only time that I went on my neighbor's yard was to take their trash bins to the curb because they were overflowing and the neighbor didn't take them out for weeks. Just being a good neighbor. Also, the neighbor goes out of town for days and comes back after trash day.
Story 1 - for the record consilting with every good lawyer in the area to deny representation to your opponent is a great way to get the judge against uou.
1st story: Props to Hoebag's Ex for telling OP. Glad that they got rid of those parasites relatives early in their marriage. 2nd story: Ngl, I thought she was doing a pick up line. But man, they are dumb as a rock
Fun fact: the thumbnail image is the result of a traffic accident involving hagfish. The car was transporting multiple live hagfish, which got spooked and did their signature defense trick: they generate gallons of slime on command. That's all hagfish slime.
Divorces are so prevalent now that divorce attorneys are in short supply. Many won’t even drive to any other courthouse than their one in their home town. They REALLY screwed them over.
I work at Total Wine and this was a total power trip from that store! Yes, it sucks, but if you all look under 30, we have to check the ID of everyone in the party at checkout (not at the door like that dumb store). It's a policy to make sure that the person buying isn't going to give the wine to the underage person at checkout with you. And if one person doesn't have a valid ID on them, then we have to deny purchase until they can produce one (how can we prove you're old enough otherwise?). Of course, if the underage person is clearly a child with their parent/guardian, then we won't check the child. Our policy also states that if a person is 21-22, we need a manager to help authorize the purchase because it's common for underage kids with fake IDs to bump up their age to that age range. It was a total power trip from that store to deny purchase because a stranger walked in with them! I'm appalled! The store I work at, luckily isn't as power-hungry. It's hilarious to think how the manager scrambled every which way to gather the wine just to put them all back again lol!
I can understand why some retailers are gun shy about sales of alcohol to anyone who looks young. If you work retail alcohol sales and have been ticketed by local police or state alcohol a second infraction can cost you employer or you a big fine. So people get paranoid and make stupid decisions.
In the wine story, the manager pointed out that the person who arrived with op had checked out 30 minutes before op and left. So, why wasn't op asked to show her i.d. when that person checked out if they were assumed to be together? Did they not i.d. that person at all? If so, they wouldn't have needed to check it when op checked out. It sounds like the cashier had a problem with op.
I have to give some benefit of doubt, even if it isn't warranted because these clowns are idiots, maybe the other person was just window shopping and didn't buy anything?
@@dimsufferer9951 I think that’s what happened. Either way the logic is dumb, why send in your no ID friend to window shop while you actually buy the liquor, when they could just wait outside in the car or something lol I feel like the store clerk should’ve realized that
The few times I've heard this story I've taken it to mean that person walked out without buying anything, otherwise it'd be even more obvious they had something against OP But tbh I don't even understand that policy, because it would only stop the stupidest people who go in together and the underaged person just points to what they want, when they could just go in first, take pictures of what they want, send them to the person buying and leave, then the other person can come in and get it, so even if you wanted super specific stuff it really wouldn't be that hard to circumvent id laws nowadays
I live in a condo but i saw a cop drive over the curb once in front of my condo. It was only one of his tires but it was very clear he didnt give a crap because he was going slow enough he had to gun it to get onto the grass while turning.
The Total Wine story is such BS. What a stupid policy. I mean I get needing to ID but to just assume that they’re a party is dumb.
The policy itself is fine because it's supposed to apply at checkout and not whenever people enter the store. What's stupid is the manager for arguably not being able to read.
Meanwhile, I used to go buy beer and wine in many local stores for my mother, for many years when I was a minor in my country (18). Here we don't have licenses/permits for establishments, just a fine if someone with legal power bother to.
No, it's not. You can't buy alcohol if even ONE person with you is underage. Even if it's your own newborn baby. It's the law, and it's that way for a damn good reason.
@@wmdkitty you’re not understanding my comment. I’m talking about how they assumed OP was with that other person when they weren’t.
Reminds me of when I was a kid staying over with my dad. I think we were going swimming, stopped at a BP for pop and for my dad to get a couple Redd's.
Babyface kinda runs in my dad's side of the family, me and my dad both age pretty well. But at the time I was literally a kid. So the cashier cards my dad, then tries to card *me!* I guess she thought my dad and I were a couple?? (horrible) Never mind the fact that I wasn't even in high school and my dad was already in his 30's. I forget what exactly my dad said verbatim, but he replied to her something along the lines of "Her ID?? That's my daughter, she's 13 fuckin' years old!"
Afaik the store had no policy, and my home state has no law about minors not even being allowed with you. It was such a bizarre experience.
Damn, I was getting secondhand angry at the snooty manager in Story 2. I hope she got torn a new one after the bosses found out what she did
One can only hope the uppers were doing their job
Same. What an idiot she is. All she need to to was apologise and say some words to show she understands the OP's frustration. How useless she is as her job!
I can tell you for a fact that she did. Companies are VERY sensitive about those reviews. I guarantee you that the first thing they did was check the cameras themselves and saw that he said was true, which is why he got that phone call. Unfortunately he didn't do the smart thing call customer service AFTER that call and report her, she would have been fired then and there.
If I owned the stored franchise, I'd fire all 3. The clerck, and the 2 managers.
Damn not a lot of thinking for someone who apparently worked in retail for many years. The big “revenge” was most likely at the cost of some poor kid working a minimum wage job as everyone knows that manager isn’t the one doing the heavy lifting. Nothing like taking back your “revenge” on the people who didn’t do anything whilst also not actually getting any revenge on the company or business.
I worked at a gas station. YAY, BEER SALES! If we denied a sale of beer because another customer walked in at the same time, we'd never sell beer. And you deal with enough drunk idiots that you can't sell to, that a simple sell is nice. It's illegal here to sell alcohol to someone who is already drunk.
yeah no joke this may be the dumbest policy i have ever heard
When I was a kid I used to go with my dad when he'd go to the liquor store to pick up beer. They used to give kids a lollipop. I can't imagine a store not selling alcohol to someone because they have someone under 21 with them. Let alone the bazaar idea of assuming just because two people walk in at the same time their together.
Even as an adult I don't drink, I'd be pissed if some store wanted my ID because someone else I was with wanted to purchase alcohol. I'd worry they were collecting personal information for some nefarious purpose. Also a lot of people "look young" that's why we have ID.
@@imzadi83fanvids7 denying someone alcohol because they have a child with them is law in many countries. that said the employee here was still on a power trip and absolutely stretching the definition of their denial policies to the max
@@beebs4283 Wow I'd never heard of that.
@@beebs4283 Wow, if it was the law where I am I would have had to have made sure my kid stayed in the car when I did my shopping, which is when I also purchased wine to take to bbq's etc, as I had very little time when he wasn't with me in the little free time I had.
I love how OP in the traffic stop cop story basically got confirmation from the Captain that as long as they can get the Captain's coffee on time, nobody will EVER block their driveway xD
Story 2: The hell is wrong with that guy? Did they decide to try and ruin someone's day or was the store being run by idiots that day? Whatever it was, the store really needs to get their people's heads straight
Run by idiots. As said in the story OP entered with another person who was NOT with them.
As to the comment to that story where they said they didnt know the time they were born, that has ZERO to do with anything. The OP there should have contacted their state licensing office and filed a complaint against those jokers.
probably couldn't get a managerial job else where
Like rSlash said, when they get the smallest amount of authority, they go completely nuts.
“You look young” OKAY BUT YOU HAVE GOVERNMENT ISSUED PROOF OF MY YOUNGNESS IN YOUR HAND. STFU AND GIMME MY GROWN UP JUICE.
@@Ryanthusar yeah if people can’t walk in at the same time, then they need a bouncer to control traffic at the door. I D I O T S.
The fact that op had 10,000 dollars just for petty revenge is the icing on the cake
He didn't need to have 10,000 dollars. He was going to get refunded one way or the other.
The 10.000 dollars aren't drawn from his account before checkout.
What flavor is this slime cake
@@dreddit The flavor is revenge, with a hint of lemon
@@DogeMcShiba except this revenge wasn't sour it was sweet
@@GamerGrovyle some stores will place a hold on your card for online orders the instance you press checkout to ensure you have the funds so it's possibly OP really did have 10 grand to just play with like that.
For the record I am including the possibility that OP had either 10 grand in his bank or on a credit card. Either way it would need to be available to spend for the order to even go through to the store.
So, if they come IN together, they are automatically a party and OP couldn't shop and leave without the other person (who they didn''t know), but the other random person could shop and leave 30 minutes prior without any trouble? Morons
There has to be more to the story. It sounded like they didn't want to sell to OP and just made up a reason not to.
I think the other person didn’t buy anything, so the store thought they were trying to be sneaky.
And how much do you want to bet OP and his "shopping partner" didn't even interact? I'm pretty sure whenever I went wandering around stores with my friends, we'd always be together chatting about stuff.
@@akl2k7 tagged along with some Uni friends to a bottle-o and it was like the mother duck (or, the friend who knew which wine she wanted), and a trail of ducklings just trotting along behind, chatting and joking around. like, it's obvious when a multiple people are together, even if they split in the store to buy different stuff. although that does remind me, a store once refused to sell my dad anything when I was underage, despite me just tagging along because waiting in the car is boring. Pissed him right off.
@@akl2k7 That's what a logical person would look for when reviewing videos from security cameras.
That second story is the kind of example you'd read about as to why you should go call corporate and end them. Mind you, OP's revenge was pretty great by making them breaking their backs for them and then pulling the rug from under them. Though it seems like there's a fair few stories of liquor store higher ups going on power trips/getting drunk on power?
It is kind of wild to me, because in my country, the only places allowed to sell hard liquor is state owned. So the regulations are the same everywhere and the stores don't really aim to sell as much as possible.
As a result, they have a pretty big selection but never any sales.
Getting power drunk seems like a mandatory thing, it is an alcohol store after all

@@MinusTheCoffeeActually, since it was around the holidays and they "bought" their entire stock of certain liquors that are popular, it's totally possible they cost the company at least a few grand for the booz they couldn't sell. But I agree that they're just making some minimum wage workers life that much harder.
The second story makes me remember my 21st birthday. I went to a bigger, better known liquor store and tried to check out, they told me they wouldn't sell me anything because my ID expires on your birthday in my state. I had looked up the relevant laws and I was waiting to turn 21 before renewing because licenses under 21 had that written on them in big red lettering and the picture background was red instead of blue. The law says that the ID was valid until end-of-day and I was scheduled to renew the next day. So, legally, I was 21, but my ID said under 21. The nice liquor store denied me, even though my ID was legal and showed me as 21. The small, less fancy liquor store I found was great. I got drinks and the guy even gave me a single-shot bottle for my birthday. I frequented that store until I moved away.
I remember going to a grocery store to get a single alcoholic drink. I showed my ID to the employee.
Employee: This isn't you.
Me:...What?
Employee: This isn't you on the license.
Me: Um...yes, it is me.
I showed my credit card to her to prove it.
Employee: Oh.
Why wasn't it me? I had my hair up in a ponytail, while my hair was down on my license.
I've had this happen SO many times -_- My hair was up and I had my glasses on in the ID photo, but I usually wore my hair down, and if someone else was driving, I usually wouldn't have my glasses on. I didn't look that much different though, but there were so many instances, mostly at one store in particular with the same cashier every time, where I'd have to dig around in my purse for a hair tie and my glasses case to prove that it was me on the ID. I made sure to have my hair down in my renewed license photo.

I work the distribution side of alcohol sales. And we hate bottle orders. Our way of discouraging customers from ordering bottles is called a 'split case fee'. If we have to break a case (open a case to pull bottles) we charge minimum $2.25. Even at our level, pulling single bottles is a pain in the butt.
Story 4: Geez, other people not bringing in their trash on time is not your business. You don't touch their trash can unless you want to start a fight, which I bet is what the neighbor wanted
Right. It's also weird and gross imo to want them to be punished for it ... and therefore have extra full trash of rotting food and who knows what else just sitting there for an extra week.
Should call back the next week and cancel the service, as they seem to go on address alone. That way they will first need to arrange for service, and also ask for a special pickup, at a cost, because they now have 4 full bins of garbage in the house. Just have to say they are moving, and will arrange a new service when they are at the new address.
@@shauna_tac They punished OP and their housemates because *they were sick* and put the trash out late.
SICK.
So why exactly is it gross to get back at them for:
-leaving out trash knowing there's wildlife in the neighbourhood and not picking it up when it's predictably thrown around, presumably multiple times
-trespassing on your property to arbitrarily punish YOU for the grievous sin of being late in putting out the trash while your whole house is down sick.

The wine story reminds me of a comedian who made a joke about being carded when buying wine or champagne. The typical teenage's achohol of choice isnt going to be wine. 😅😅
With Story 2:
I work for Walmart and our policy is that we can't sell anyone alcohol without an ID. If they look to be older than 21, but younger than 40. And we can't sell anyone alcohol if they don't have their ID with them.
I once had an elderly gentleman with a younger gentleman (don't know if it was his son or grandson) come through self checkout. I was waiting on standby to approve of the older gentleman as I expected him to be the one to pick it up. It was the younger man. I had went to get his ID checked. He admitted that he never carries around an ID so I had to take the older man's alcohol because the young person that he was with, admitted that he never carries around an ID.
One of my neighbors actually stopped the trash guy when I came out way too late to put my can out. The trash guy actually backed up and took. My trash can when I missed it.That's the kind of neighbor that you want.
The Thumbnail for this is from the aftermath of a truck carrying a load of hagfish crashing. Hagfish secrete a slimy mucuse when atttacked or stressed. Apparently the cleanup for this took a awhile, and had to get firefighters out to hose the slime off.
That skunk attracting idea is genius. I used to work at a golf course and we had one skunk rip up nearly all the grass on one of our tee boxes in a single night.
That little stinker! 😁
Second story must have happened in Texas. Never once had that kind of bs pulled on me until I got here. That is the dumbest rule ever and on top of it, the store can "be selective", if you know what I mean. 😠
You mean racist don't you?
Welcome to the world of bigotry
Actually down here it's the other way around, doing that get your ass FIRED. Nice try at throwing shade though.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it sure is bigotry, and this conversation is the epitome of outright disregarding another person's experience. It's so easy when you're behind a keyboard, isn't it?
10:40 in Texas, the law says 21 years, and 3:00 am the day after, so 21 years and a day. Alcohol sales end at midnight (except Saturday into Sunday morning, it’s 1 am). Is it stupid? Absolutely. Do I have to follow it? Yes…
Ugh, I work retail and I HATE having to card people. Our store policy is to card Everyone, no matter their age and we can't sell if their license is expired. The amount of grown adults yelling at me, threatening me is ridiculous. It's posted everywhere in our store. I don't want to do it but they drill into us the fines, jail time and all that. Those people at the wine store were jerks though and deserved it.
we have a similar policy at our store, but it kinda became "if you ask for their id and they don't have it when you ask then you can't sell" cause we have so many regulars that it becomes redundant to ask for their id
@@JunkRatt1985Yeah, if they don't have their ID, even if I see that person every day, we also can't sell to them. It is so annoying. I've explained to people, I even have to card my manager every time she buys her cigarettes and she's my dad's age, lol. Also the amount of people that apparently drive without their license on them is astounding where I live.

I know that due to other people having asked a few times).
Other time was in Las Vegas when I was in the 30s and got denied… twice. First time: I looked underage, we back and had my father buy the drink and give it to me and the person was ok with that. Second time: would not accept my driver’s license (Australian one) and said I look to young. That time we just left for another bar

The person at the car rental place took great glee in saying that we could not rent a car, then claimed that if I had taken my husband's surname, we would have been allowed. >:( We ended up having to arrange for someone else to rent the car.
Good on you for not taking his surname.
You also could have rented a U-Haul pickup or van for a lot less with a debit card.

They were 20, so they had to wait in the car to prevent this from happening.
No, we did NOT give the beer to the underaged people. That was for us.
Lmao! The alcohol revenge made my day...
It is so frustrating to be denied for looking young. Even in my 30s I would get accused of having a fake ID cause I looked barely legal.. Now to avoid that I put on heavy make up to look my age, otherwise I still get hassled because I look like im maybe in my mid 20s not almost done 40
That happened to me the other day. I’m 30 and I was buying beer for my parents. The lady looked at my ID and said it didn’t look like me (I had gotten a haircut and it’s been 8 years) and that I should get a new one. Then she asked if I was using my cousins ID. She was being pretty mild about it, she was obviously still giving me the beer but I was tired and just wanted to go home. I just looked at her and said, “the only cousin who looks like me is dead” took the beer and left. Like lady, if I was going to use a fake ID it wouldn’t say I was 30 nor would I admit to it. Plus, I am not sitting through the DMV and going through the hassle of getting a new license because I got a haircut.
My family members all look young for our ages as well. People never seem to believe us when we tell them our real ages because we look significantly younger. This is why many stores have employees take special trainings on how to spot real IDs vs fake ones. Here the police can be called if needed, especially if the store employees refuse to give back the person's ID.
God i hate total wine. Everytime i go there they think my id is fake and pull out the big binder and a light and the manager gets called and turns out my ID i real. They always so oh the id is bent so it seems suspicous. I sat on my id wrong in my back pocket and bent the corner slightly. Its not so bad anymore but the year i turned 21 it was each and everytime.
First Story: I’m going to listen to this one again because I don’t get the petty revenge

If they do the interview with opposing side, or take them on as a client it's seen as a unfair advantage and the attorney could be punished by either sanction, license suspension, or even dis-barment
I worked at a convenience store that sold beer and liquor. We had an annoying policy that said we couldn't sell alcohol to anyone who had a vertical ID. Regardless of age, really hated having to deny people I knew were old enough, but just didn't have the horizontal version.
Was the vertical one State issued?
@@black1917 They were, but the local police would treat it the same as selling to a minor. Wasn't worth the fines, loss of job and possible jail time.
@@ArashiFusao What State is this? Because in Texas that will you fired and the store in trouble for denying a valid State issued ID.
@@black1917 Was in NM, actually. Been a few years since I both lived and worked there, so I can't confirm if they still do that unfortunately.
"Well, you look young". You are not allowed to say that AFTER being presented with a valid ID.
ETA: He got that phone call for one reason: Their DM or higher is now breathing down her neck about the flagrant policy violation HER employees committed and is likely about to be investigated by company. Especially after that refund, which is likely to get OP in trouble with the company, though it's likely to get HER in more trouble for causing this with her employees behavior.
I live in California and had been a smoker since 18, 7 months before my 21st birthday the state voted to change the legal age for tobacco products to 21.
On my 21st birthday, I wanted to flex my age, I went down to a gas station to buy a 32 oz Miller high Life ( because I didn't know a good beer was) and a pack of cigarettes. I handed the guy my ID and said it's my 21st birthday today this is the first time I'm buying alcohol. The guy behind the counter looked at me handed me my ID back as he says "I can't consider you 21."
Sir, excuse me.
So my BFF used to work right next door to a liquor store. She drank alot of whiskey & vodka, and I used to enjoy cheap wine. She never got her license so I used to pick her up all the time. Often we'd grab booze from next door, either together or I'd just go before grabbing her.
Now to be fair, we both looked young. I'm in my late 30's now but people still guess me in my late teens/early 20's. So I try to always keep my ID on me because I always get carded.
But we came in so often that the owner (dude in his 60's at least) knew us both by name and knew we were well over 21 so he often didn't card us, even when I had my card in my hand. So eventually I stopped bringing every single time.
So one day I go in by myself. I cheerfully say 'hi' and grab my wine. I go up to pay and he goes to check me out. Suddenly his wife- a fat angry Karen (well before the meme but she had the haircut and everything) and screams at him to STOP.
She says there is no way I'm over 21. I said I was closer to 30 than to 21. I pointed out that her husband knew me by name and in fact had my b-day memorized. But he just shrank, sad and embarrassed and mumbled he couldn't complete the sale.
I even offered to get my ID as I had just left it in the car. NOPE. Apparently Karen thinks that if you don't have it on your person that it doesn't count.
It wasn't even the weird rule she was making. Like I would've got it (kinda) if she had been apologetic but firm. Like 'I'm sorry but rule XZY states we just can't do it." But it was her ATTITUDE. She was mean, insultimg and called me a liar and a little girl. She legit was NUTS.
So last time I ever bought ANYTHING there. Pretty sure they wen't under shortly after. Wonder why?
I was a nightclub security guard and this guy came in on his 18th birthday (the legal age to drink here in Australia). His friends asked me to prank him so I told him the day of his birthday didn't count and to come back in tomorrow.
I kicked him out for about 10 seconds then said "You didn't actually believe that did you?"
Then let him straight back in and his friends all broke down laughing their asses off.
As a former server, you actually can get fined or even arrested for selling alcohol on the night of someone’s 21st. Well, in certain states. You normally have to just tell them to come back the next day.
The twin liquor story reminded me of the time i went in and they carded me for buying something non alcoholic. the cashier threw me a lot of attitude because i didn't have my id ready. I'm sorry, i didn't know i needed an ID to buy juice
OP in the first story should also report hobag lawyer to the Bar, having a personal relationship wit a client is a big nono that could get her disbarred.
As someone that leads an online pickup department, that revenge was diabolical. There’s nothing worse than going through all the trouble we have to go through to fulfill a large order, just for the customer to never pick it up.
my brother had an issue with a manager at a store when he went to buy some vodka, he got denied and told he was banned from ever buying at the store because his ID was from a different state even though he was 25 at the time. funny enough the same store closed down a few months after the incident.
They got shut for doing this to more people than just your brother, and those people complained about it to far higher powers than the company.
I giggled so much at the Captain getting his coffee always at 6am sharp 😂
Story 1 - Check with a lawyer about consulting with every lawyer in the city. Some Judges don't like that and may force you to pay to fly in a lawyer from out of state. Sounds good, but can backfire horribly.
I'd also like to point out how much this story sounds like an episode of American Dad. Roger goes nuclear for his Rain Duck 😅
Related to the wine store story…My birthday is September 11th (before 9/11) and my 21st birthday was on a Wednesday. I was in a late Tuesday night bowling league on the 10th. It was after midnight when I headed home, and I decided to buy beer for the first time. I carried it the counter while holding my ID in the other hand. When they saw it was my birthday, the 2 guys working the counter congratulated me on it being my birthday. They happily took my money. They didn’t even ask what time of day I was born.
Joke’s on them- I was born in the evening!
I wish Story 2 went even further into prorevenge.
I’m keeping that beef bullion idea in mind for future revenge as that was gold 😂
Never, ever get between an emergency worker (cop, paramedic, firefighter, etc) and their coffee.
Being "carded" story: I was born at 11:55pm,so I tend to celebrate both the day on my birth certificate, and the day after .. 😊😇
My neighbors probably hate me because I have nowhere to store my trashcan so it stays at the end of my driveway all the time.
Since I've been working retail, a local store from a big grocer chain got stung by the cops near the end of last year.
Due to this, a good portion of stores big and small, chain or not have changed their policies regarding alchohol and cigarettes. Everyone is requiring ID regardless of age, the idea being that if you check everyone, there is less of a chance you'll let someone underage by, or simply be aware that someone has a marked ID with a court order not to serve them alcohol.
Our store in particular requires anyone that makes a purchase of alcohol/tobacco products to show their ID and if their party, ie. someone that is obviously with them (walks with them into the store, interacts with them, and keeps up with them), touches anything alcoholic, they have to show their ID as well.
If that party leaves before checkout, regardless whether or not they grabbed something for purchase by the main buyer, we can't sell to them as long as the party was touching things before they left.
We've had so many people get pissed off by this policy, but not much we can do about it since we have camera's on us 24/7 and many of us have already been reprimanded for not following through on policy. It did however catch a father/son duo in that the son went around and grabbed a lot of things left and his dad tried to pay for it. The son was underage... so yay I guess. We caught one person and pissed off everyone else.
Last story instead of berf bullion cubes use any of the following tuna juice,clam juice or boil some shrimp & use that. Mix with a little water,freeze into cubes. Not only will it draw animals but flies as well & the stench.
And if you screw up my morning caffeine fix, desk duty... UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!!! 😂😂😂
The wine one hit me hard since I was denied booze at a beer garden once because I was still using my vertical ID. (I was 22 at the time and every other bar tender or alcohol servier I talked to confirmed I was alright to drink)
That is actually a legal thing. Vertical IDs become invalid 6 months after your 21st birthday, so they had a legit reason. Your ID was invalid.
@@maxbaker7841 ngl, I've never heard of this before unless it applies to other states cause I know VA it becomes invalid once the expedition date happens (which can be up to 2 years or so) and vertical Id's are also common for people who can't drive
Source: I renewed my I'd right before my 21st so I still had the "under 21" card for a while until the expiration date. The alcohol place would have to check my birth date, the expiration date, and scan it to make sure it was valid. And it was valid for 2+ years lmfao
@@maxbaker7841 perhaps in a different state. Mine was still legal at the time, and it wasn't just 6 months, it was closer to a couple years (it was an Indiana license btw), and was accepted a couple days later at a different bar. Even asked the bartender about it because it was still valid by it's printed expiration date
@@maxbaker7841 Here's a fun fact, NO THEY CAN'T. They cannot refuse a valid ID without confirming it IS invalid.
@@maxbaker7841I know everyone is saying this, but you either live somewhere really weird or you pulled that out of your ass, I know someone who got an id when they were 17, and it didn't expire until they were almost 26, but according to your logic it would've been invalid for the majority of the time they had it
Just in time to listen during my morning get ready routine - never tire of your voice rslash 💚
Actual protip: Judges don't take kindly to the "consultation with every lawyer in town" trick. If they catch wind of it, any leniency they might afford you is gone.
Several years ago I had a stroke. Luckily, I don't have any of the usual symptoms of one side of your body flailing like a fish out of water. I do, however, have amazing vertigo. Think of having three or four beers in your system all the time! My neurologist rightly took away my drivers license. I received a letter from the DMV to turn in my license, but I ignored it (they never followed up, and I don't drive--if I accidentally off myself, that is one thing, but if I do it to someone else...I just couldn't handle it.). On my birthday, late this summer, that license expires. It is suspended, but the computers don't check that when buying alcohol (One would be surprised at how often a 52 year old man with a beard gets carded!). I've just applied to renew my passport. I can't wait to be carded and show my passport instead of my driver's license. It will be hilarious!
That beef bullion trick at the end there is a MASTERPIECE! I hope I remember that whenever I have someone I need to get some crazy revenge on.
“YoUr tRaSh HaS tO bE oUt By 7” and how does the trash company know?! If they don’t show up until 4 hours later, HOW. DO. THEY. KNOW.
My driveway: Officers are not allowed to block driveways unless it is an emergency, and a routine traffic stop is not an emergency. A traffic stop lasting 45 minutes is also way more than is needed for a routine traffic stop.
The alcohol story is SO FREAKING SATISFYING. My kind of petty.
I dont think the alcohol one is fair bc most of that has to be done by the curbside pickup workers which had no involvement in op’s altercation, and from my experience atleast in the 2 walmarts i worked in the managers just give us the keys to the sealed stuff(or for electronics the associate in that department holds the keys) except for space management for the curbside area and the online part of the order op didnt really give the managers much work and just punished the workers for it.
The origin to the thumbnail is actually pretty interesting, the car was carrying a bunch of hagfish which, when threatened, make slime that's all over the car. The car in the thumbnail got into a crash and (from what I remember) it took *days* to clean up the slime from the hagfish
Tldr: guy was transporting hagfish for research, got into a carcrash, hagfish did the thing in the rhbnail
I had a wicked cold when I was a teen and when me and my mom went to Walgreens the woman that helped us find the medicine HANDED it to me (she knew I was a kid) WALKED us to checkout, and proceeded to tell us she couldn’t sell it to us because I was a minor holding it
The OP that bought the drinks? Daaang, they're LOADED... to be able to buy nearly $10'000 worth of liquor just to do a petty revenge...
I used to work retail, it is against the law where I live to sell to someone on their 18th bday, the day after is ok, the government would send kids in on their bday to test this, ugh
Here in Texas it's a legal grey area and a real headache for retail.
A magnum of Smirnoff for $18.49? What profit margins does that place run on?
Our council has a guideline (not a hard and fast rule) than your bins can be out for a maximum of 8 hours either side of pick-up. Everyone puts them out the night before, and some don't bother even taking them in for a few days.
Side note: I always acknowledge and thank the bin men when I see them. 2 reasons - 1: they provide an essential service, 2: my family has had bin men in it for at least 4 generations.
Trash story: 7AM? The earliest we have to get our trashcans out is 6AM, and even then they probably won't be around until 11AM or 12PM...
I had that happen to me when I went to buy my ar on my 18th birthday, "I can't sell it to you today because I don't know the time of day you were born". At least the guy was cool about it and it wasn't just a power trip. Came back the next day and bought it no problem
Working in a supermarket in the UK (mentioned because I'm not sure if laws are different) I know you have to be very careful when selling alcohol to people who could potentially be underage as the consequences can be severe. Worst case scenario you get £1000 fine, sacked and imprisonment. There's also what is called a proxy sale which means that even if the person is IDed as the correct age, they could be buying for people who are underage so the sale would be illegal.
I hope the two managers and the clerk got a very stern lecture from corporate about their behavior after they learned of their behavior. OP did a great job letting corporate know through his actions (ordering and then telling them that a employee "refused to allow them to pick up the alcohol because he looked young") just what type of power trip the managers and the clerk were on.
When I was getting divorced as I was tired of the ex sleeping with everything, he spoke with all of the attorneys within 50 miles of our home. - and yes, not one of them could represent me. I ended up finding some attorney who was about 80 and had one foot in the grave to represent me . He was horrible. and yep the ex had hired two, not one, but two of the best divorce attorneys, and I got screwed to the wall in the divorce
I went to a gas station near my brothers house on my 21st birthday to buy a bottle and I got turned away from that “idk what time you were born” reason so I walked out a little sad. My brother then said nah let’s try that again and walked in with me and asked why they turned me away and they immediately changed their minds. We weren’t rude or anything it’s just that my brother used to buy liquor there very often cause he was too lazy to go to the store and he was making really good money at the time. As soon as they recognized him they said it was cool 😅 I think they didn’t wanna upset someone who spent so much at their store. Either way someone was buying a bottle so I didn’t care but it was a funny experience.
,my kids & their friends always get a kick of my “thick New York accent” we live in New York.. born and raised.. I don’t notice it until I’m watching rslash.. and he says coffee…dog..walk…talk…etc.. it’s hilarious to me how different we say these words lol
I have heard (don't know if it's true), that if you go to every divorce lawyer in your area in an attempt to create conflicts of interest preventing your spouse from using them, it really pisses off any judge if they figure out what you did. So it may be counterproductive to do this.
Oh my god the lawyer trick and the raccoon trick are priceless. I don't think like this but the laughter is great.
My beautiful, younger sister poured cod oil under the seats of my then Camaro decades ago when I was in college. It smelled FOREVER and impossible to clean up. Great petty revenge prank.
At that point I would make sure that every morning the captains coffee is on the house
"We hired my friend, let's call her...Hoebag..." Made me laugh my ass off.
Everyone in the comments seem to be going after the manager in the wine story, but letting the cop off the hook despite the fact that he was equally obnoxious. The captain might have been joking, but I think he should have told his officers to stop blocking people’s driveways period. Also, forty five minutes for a routine traffic stop? WTF??
Story 1: Conflict of interest. Yes. Have to hire another lawyer: Not necessarily. Several years after my divorce, I got a call from a lawyer I had consulted but who had not handled my divorce. My ex was consulting him. I laughed. I could waive that it was a conflict of interest so the lawyer could represent my ex. I waived it, since I knew he didn't have a case. I still won.
I love the beef ice idea. I'm saving that one in the back of my mind if I ever hate my neighbors, lmao.
The only time that I went on my neighbor's yard was to take their trash bins to the curb because they were overflowing and the neighbor didn't take them out for weeks. Just being a good neighbor. Also, the neighbor goes out of town for days and comes back after trash day.
Story 1 - for the record consilting with every good lawyer in the area to deny representation to your opponent is a great way to get the judge against uou.
You could say getting that police captain not getting his coffee was a life or death emergency
1st story: Props to Hoebag's Ex for telling OP. Glad that they got rid of those parasites relatives early in their marriage.
2nd story: Ngl, I thought she was doing a pick up line. But man, they are dumb as a rock
Fun fact: the thumbnail image is the result of a traffic accident involving hagfish. The car was transporting multiple live hagfish, which got spooked and did their signature defense trick: they generate gallons of slime on command. That's all hagfish slime.
Divorces are so prevalent now that divorce attorneys are in short supply. Many won’t even drive to any other courthouse than their one in their home town. They REALLY screwed them over.
I work at Total Wine and this was a total power trip from that store!
Yes, it sucks, but if you all look under 30, we have to check the ID of everyone in the party at checkout (not at the door like that dumb store). It's a policy to make sure that the person buying isn't going to give the wine to the underage person at checkout with you. And if one person doesn't have a valid ID on them, then we have to deny purchase until they can produce one (how can we prove you're old enough otherwise?). Of course, if the underage person is clearly a child with their parent/guardian, then we won't check the child. Our policy also states that if a person is 21-22, we need a manager to help authorize the purchase because it's common for underage kids with fake IDs to bump up their age to that age range.
It was a total power trip from that store to deny purchase because a stranger walked in with them! I'm appalled! The store I work at, luckily isn't as power-hungry. It's hilarious to think how the manager scrambled every which way to gather the wine just to put them all back again lol!
I can understand why some retailers are gun shy about sales of alcohol to anyone who looks young. If you work retail alcohol sales and have been ticketed by local police or state alcohol a second infraction can cost you employer or you a big fine. So people get paranoid and make stupid decisions.
Even if they were paranoid, there's no reason to be that nasty about it when you can calmly explain the issue
In the wine story, the manager pointed out that the person who arrived with op had checked out 30 minutes before op and left. So, why wasn't op asked to show her i.d. when that person checked out if they were assumed to be together? Did they not i.d. that person at all? If so, they wouldn't have needed to check it when op checked out.
It sounds like the cashier had a problem with op.
I have to give some benefit of doubt, even if it isn't warranted because these clowns are idiots, maybe the other person was just window shopping and didn't buy anything?
@Dim Sufferer Good point, that's a strong possibility.
@@dimsufferer9951 I think that’s what happened. Either way the logic is dumb, why send in your no ID friend to window shop while you actually buy the liquor, when they could just wait outside in the car or something lol I feel like the store clerk should’ve realized that
The few times I've heard this story I've taken it to mean that person walked out without buying anything, otherwise it'd be even more obvious they had something against OP
But tbh I don't even understand that policy, because it would only stop the stupidest people who go in together and the underaged person just points to what they want, when they could just go in first, take pictures of what they want, send them to the person buying and leave, then the other person can come in and get it, so even if you wanted super specific stuff it really wouldn't be that hard to circumvent id laws nowadays
@@ecoonrad4753 apparently OP looked up the policy and it's actually if you *check out* together you're a party
14:48 there is a solution for that. Put small boulder rocks on the top, so that critters cannot scramble the neighborhood.
I live in a condo but i saw a cop drive over the curb once in front of my condo. It was only one of his tires but it was very clear he didnt give a crap because he was going slow enough he had to gun it to get onto the grass while turning.
As someone who works sanitation it is SUPPOSED to be out by 7 we will pick it a long as it's out as we get there
