Workplaces enforce strict rules that customers should respect and follow.

The following story involves an employee who works as a customer service manager.

The company he works for only allows customers who are 18 years old and older.

But… a father came in trying to sneak in his 15-year-old son.

Read the full story below to find out more.

Person tried to knowingly bring their kid into my (18+) business today.

I’m a customer service manager.

The company I work for requires only people over the age of 18 are allowed on the premises.

Two people walked in today, a father and son.

The son looked visibly underage.

This employee asked to see the ID of the child.

So I immediately asked to see some ID.

The father told his son to leave and wait outside.

He then asked what our minimum age requirement was.

And I told him that it was 18 years of age.

The father thought the minimum age requirement was 16.

He then said, “Oh right, sorry, I thought it was 16.”

I asked him, “Why, how old is your son?”

And this guy said, “He’s 15.”

Brilliant…

15 is not 16, and 16 is not 18.
