Customer service workers have to deal with a lot of entitled behavior, but some shoppers really test their patience.

When one young man threw a fit over being asked for ID while buying alcohol, the cashier only doubled down with their insistence.

This arrogant client that I keep asking for his ID

There was this customer (19M) who wanted to buy alcohol at the store I work at.

I asked for his ID since he looks younger than 25 years old (as it is policy in the province I live in).

This customer decided to be less than understanding.

He decided to throw a tantrum—trying to shame me for asking for his ID, telling me he “was buying alcohol [at the place I work at] at the age of 14,” and blah blah blah.

So the cashier decided to be extra inconvenient for him.

So I decided to keep on asking him for his ID every single time he comes to the store for alcohol, no matter what the circumstances are.

Petty and funny.

He decides to initiate a zero-tolerance policy with this customer.

Most of the time he “doesn’t have [his] ID,” and asks, “Is a picture okay?”

No, it’s not.

You look and/or are under 25—you get ID’d. That’s the rule.

I’m not risking my job for your ego.

Turns out, the best payback for arrogance is consistency.

What did Reddit make of all this?

This cashier should make it clear they absolutely recognize this guy, but are willing to inconvenience him anyway.

Sometimes customers do have a sense of humor.

In the grand scheme of things, having to show your ID really isn’t that inconvenient.

Why not just lean into the bit at this point?

This cashier didn’t have to break the rules to teach this rude customer a lesson — they just had to follow them.
