This is really off topic but feel compelled tell the world, I'm Pissed off! I have the worst distaste for corporate bullshit, Management and Blanket management.
I, on too many occasions get carded for the purchase of alcohol whether it be in a store (but not at grocery stores) or at a larger chain, Applebee's, etc.
Debbie and I went to World market earlier today shopping for a few odds and ends. I picked up a couple of interesting tall bottles of imported craft brew beers. Just as we get to the checkout were asked if we have our membership. We say yes and try to enter the info on the keypad. No Go. Figures. I just want to pay for my things and leave. I tell the young lady, never mind well just pay the extra and we just want to be done.
She say's ok then asks me for my drivers license or form of ID. Oh, for my debit card? No the alcohol. Really? Looking at me there could be no question that there is no question. How about checking to see if my Debit card info matches my license or ID.
I tell the Girl to please tell her manager that I the Customer feel sorry for you as your manager doesn't have enough trust in you to make an intelligent decision. She say's it our policy Sir. Yet again, a Business owner or corporate manager uses a Blanket Policy to run in what I refer to as a Lazy Business plan. Heaven forbid employee's may have to think or harder yet, make a decision,
Covering ones ass has gone way to far. Sue happy people and money hungry lawyers have intimidated the masses. Don't let fear run your business. Show some ass and be a Boss. Empower employee's to be thinkers and to be the best they can be. I also think that blanket policies inhibit growth in a company as it doesn't promote free thinking.
If I get carded on purchases from now on, I'm going to leave and spend my money at a competitor.
Rant over.....carryon.....
