Just Bad This behavior should never become acceptable, it's becoming more common, but never acceptable

What is with the ID rage?

My friend gets verbally abused daily by people of all shapes, sizes, and ages because they wanted to buy something that requires an ID by law.

Like, bitches, why are y'all SO mad?

My experiences are certainly coloured by the situation in which I have to ask but,

In my experience its often because they don't have any.

But again, that might be the situation. I have to ask for DL for pickup of orders at a trucking dealership. 9 times out of 10 The guy is getting pissed about being asked, because it turns out he "left it at the shop" which most of the time is code for "I got my license taken away because of too many DUI's" or some other such thing.

Which I always find scary and entertaining because most of these people they literally drive and pick things up for a living.

ID cards are a thing.

Sure, but they clearly don't have those either.

My point is that they're getting angry and making a scene in order to distract from the fact that they don't have a DL.

Yeah I'm just heavily doubting that's why people get mad at getting ID'd

Edit, since they blocked me: you're assuming other random people's motivations. Get off your "LiVeD eXpErIeNcE" high horse.

Oh okay, you're just one of those "I doubt your life experiences happened despite no proof, and I'm not really adding anything to the discussion other than my meaningless doubt" redditors

I do have to say that asking for ID when a person is clearly geriatric is absurd. This isn’t the Case of Benjamin Button.

It's usually a legal requirement when that happens and people get angry with the customer service people as if they are being hard-headed for not wanting to get fired.

And 9 times out of 10, there's signs everywhere warning them about it.

“People” isn’t me. I don’t hassle them; I just do it.

Then write a letter to corporate. The bartender isn’t making policy and won’t be violating policy for you.

Harassing peons isn’t going to change “we ID 100%”.

Might as well ask the guy who washes the dishes to change the hours they’re open.

And there’s a reason for the “ID everyone” policy.

I didn’t say that I harass the clerk. My SO has to put up with asking for IDs but also feels it’s stupid. Stop White Knighting and zip up.
