To That One Guest - II

To All The Guests That Complimented my Sweater:
First day in two years at Target rocking the red vest and my actual clothes (we did an ugly sweater day today and I was wearing the closest thing I have to one) and y'all just come out of the woodwork saying how nice I look?? Honored. Bless all of you :,)

TTOG: Good luck buying Mucinex cough drops somewhere else without having to at the very least give your cashier a DOB.

*Light flags for ID*
Him: Dunno what i did.
Me: Are you buying lighters, medicine or Nicotine gum?
Him: No.
Me: *sees Mucinex drops.* It's the cough drops, sir. If I could scan your ID or look at it for your birthday..."
Him: No, I'm not gonna do that."
Me: OK, that's all right I'll put them in our stray bin. *takes them out of guest's bag*
Him: Well, no I still want them.
Me: OK than I just need to have an ID or DOB...
Him: No! I already said I'm not going to do that!!
Me: Then I can't sell them to you, because I can't bypass this step.
Him: So you won't sell them to me cause I won't give you an ID?!
Me: I'm sorry sir, but unfortunately yes.
Him: Well that fucking pisses me off. Tell your managers that they’re a bunch of assholes. *Not* happy. You can also tell them I'm going somewhere else! So ridiculous!
Me: 🤷‍♀️ OK. Have a nice day...

Target isn't the one that makes the rules, guy. 🙄 Sorry not sorry.

The problem is other places are supposed to ID but, don’t. This guest will have no problem finding some where else to buy it without showing ID.

This guy just flat out refused to give me anything at all, even a verbal confirmation. Instead said: "You can't just let me have them? I shouldn't have to tell you my birthday."

I stock all the cough drops and had no idea the Mucinex ones were *special* somehow. Have to check the ingredients list one of these days.
When a guest complains about an out-of-stock item and can't seem to let it go, I tell them it's above my pay grade to make buying decisions. Or when some products in a line are on sale but not all of them (usually it's those above a certain price point), I tell them I have no input on those things and no one at the store level does. They seem to take it better when I tell them in so many words that I'm just a little peon with no rule-making authority.

And to think when we were in high school in New York State (not the god-awful NYC) way North of the city, we had no problem buying beer at the local deli when we were 16 or 17. Back then the drinking age for everything was 18.
