    Part of me has the knee jerk reaction of "yeah that totally happened"

    But then I remember the lady that got really mad at me for giving her a senior discount because I thought she forgot to ask and had her wallet open with her id visible while she wrote a check so yeah...

      If I've learned anything about client facing jobs, it's that people can get pissed about the most anodyne, routine shit. Some people just want to be mad.

        Also to get upset about free shit or a discount is like, the most privileged shit I can possibly imagine.

      Yeah, the reference to allergy and "power play" seems like hints that is a SJW panic bait, if the writer had also added a bit that she's vegan then I would be sure that it's 100% written by a chud.

        My parents don't look nearly as old as they are, so they have to show ID for the senior discount when they buy booze. Life comes full circle.

          I still get carded to see if I'm 18. Not often, but enough. I fix this by going to places regularly.

            I went to buy my aunt a pack of smokes once and they tried to take my out-of-state ID as a fake. I'd been smoking for a decade at that point, but if I don't have facial hair I look like a college student.

      I had a friend in college that worked for mcdonalds, at the time 2 4pc nuggets were cheaper than a 6pc. He said he got yelled at so many times for OFFERING to switch it out, not even going ahead and making the change.
