My sister works on the checkouts in the evenings at a local supermarket and was telling me about something that happened last week.
She had 2 teenage girls come to her till trying to buy alcohol, the stores policy now is that if anyone looks under 21 you have to ask for ID. My sister said these girls clearly looked under age and had tarted themselves up to look old enough.
So when quizzed for ID the girl buying pulls out a passport and that she really didn't look like the girl in the photo!!
When my sister said it didn't look like her she claimed to have had her hair done and thats what is was and gets this all the time.
My sister asked for another form of ID to backup that the passport was hers and apparently she didn't have anything, not even a bank card.
On closer inspection my sister realised that she actually knew who the girl in the passport was and that it wasn't that girl.
She didn't know though whether the girl who's passport it really was had a sister etc. and had lent it to her or even if it had been stolen / borrowed!!
Anyway when my sister refused the girl kicked up a fuss and supervisor came over.
The supervisor also couldn't agree and called the security guy over for another point of view.
Apparently the security guy agreed with my sister in that the passport didn't match the girl but the supervisor felt that it was a closish match and as she had 'provided' ID she over-rulled the decision and agreed to sell the alcohol to the girl.
When my sister told me this I got really annoyed with her saying she should of stood her ground and refused etc. etc.
She did say that she didn't really want to fall out with the supervisor and that the supervisor did have the final say and the security guard was a witness to that as well. I can see her point but I still think I would have stood my ground and even proceeded more with the fact the passport wasn't hers!
What do you people think...
