Just to be clear, the type of wrap in the comic isn’t so much THIS, as it is THIS, but instead of chicken, a small taco. It doesn’t make sense, but the goal at McTuckey Fried Tacos has never been to sell food that makes sense.
I work as a gas station cashier and have had customers like these and worse…I had one guy threaten to come over the counter at me because one of my coworkers carded his daughter on cigarettes and she didn’t have one so she sent her father in to buy them for her and I refused to sell them to him because it would have been an illegal 3rd party sell. It was hysterical.
I’m not worried about violent customers, I was in the military and took some extra courses in my down time in hand-to-hand combat so I can handle myself in a fight if it comes to it, most are nothing but words anyway but he got real mad when I laughed in his face at his threats
OH MY GOD we had a customer exactly like that tonight – middle of dinner rush, 35 pizzas, all of them different…
But I’m sure we could swap annoying customer stories all night long, eh? Like the one guy who chewed me out because a two-topping pizza costs more than a one-topping pizza. *sigh*
I need to finish my degree ASAP…
Also, I could be wrong here, but I think McTuckey’s “Taco Wrap” sounds like a burrito with an extra tortilla.
haha ah yes. Customer’s are an interesting specimen.
Think more of a burrito with a taco inside of it. Like, you made a taco and then wrapped it in a burrito.
Not you wrapped taco meats in a tortilla and then wrapped it again, more like you have a hard shell taco, and then that’s inside a burrito. It’s pointless and stupid and costs $4.35
I…I don’t even understand. I’m assuming that’s in the USA, yeah? I dunno, in Canada they have signs EVERYWHERE that cigarettes or alcohol are sold, about about the minimum age requirement to purchase the product, and how incredibly illegal 3rd party sales are. I don’t think anybody questions that at all.
Maybe tobacco companies have enough leverage here in the states to keep such “discouragements” for young folks to take up smoking away from public eye
Like the only things who try to do that here are private groups dedicated entirely to trying to keep kids from smoking haha and those groups do a terrible job.
no here in Michigan it’s posted everywhere and most cashiers follow it…yeah occasionally one will slip through the cracks with a fake ID or something but even though it’s really not an issue you will still have those who try….I’ve had a few this week yeah but that’s a few in the thousands of transactions a week I make and the majority of those few are the biggest [FRONKING] idiots you will ever have the unfortunate displeasure of meeting
and also while we do have it posted everywhere that we card and that’s a given the real problem is that most people don’t even realize that a 3rd party sale no matter the circumstances is illegal…even when Joe buys his wife Laura cigarettes we’re supposed to say no but we don’t because why would we and so everybody just assumes it’s OK and on the few occasions you do have to refuse a 3rd party sale due to the circumstances it just makes them very angry because they’ve done it for years and they don’t understand what’s so different all of a sudden
it also doesn’t help that tobacco and alcohol laws actually vary from state to state in the U.S. for example in Michigan if someone buying tobacco doesn’t look at least 32 the law says we have to card them but in Indiana it’s 27 and in Wisconsin (DIRTY BUNCH OF [FRONKING] THIEVES!!!! THE MITT STATE IS OURS!!! THE LEGEND OF THE DOGMAN IS OURS!!! SERIOUSLY COME UP WITH YOUR OWN CULTURE YOU BUNCHA CHEESE BRAINS!!!!) and in Wisconsin it’s 35 and then there are states where it’s cashier discretion as to whether or not they should card a customer.
At a resort I worked at for a few years, we had a little convenience store that sells booze and cigarettes. Considering that our boss was a deputy sheriff, we carded EVERYONE. Lots of people get really mad when you ask to see their ID, it’s weird. I think it’s because they don’t like us mindless service drones doing anything besides “get the customer out the door as quickly as possible”.
Here in Utah, the law is that anyone appearing under “40” will be carded, though I know of a few stores in my local area that will fire cashiers for not carding all customers. BUT, it IS Utah, where it is (technically) illegal for restaurants to pour alcoholic beverages in a place where diners can see it happening, liquor stores are all owned by the state, and drinks considered “light” in most places are subject to hard liquor laws here.

oh god haha I have yet to get any sort of violent customer, but apparently it’s possible at my particular location so we’ll see hahaha

Pure epicness hahaha you are an inspiration to cashier’s everywhere.

You’re…
You’re hating on a type of taco… ?
Ragnarok must be nigh…
Just cause I think something is stupid and pointless doesn’t mean I hate it. I am a fan of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, mind you haha

today at work
Kid who looks barely 16: Hi could I get a pack of Marlboro Black and Red 100’s?
Me: Can I see your ID?
Kid: I don’t have my ID.
Me: Then I’m sorry no.
Kid: Grandpa can you buy them for me?
Grandpa: Can I buy them for him?
Me: No, that would be an illegal 3rd party sell and, I could get in a lot of trouble for that.
Kid: Now We’ll have to go all the way to Lake City to get my cigarettes. They know me there.”
(Kid Leaves)
Grandpa: Are you sure you can’t sell them to me?
Me: Sorry, but I really can’t.
(Grandpa pays for fuel)
Grandpa: I’ve been trying to get him to quit anyways.
Me: Well then I guess I helped you out with that a little then.
(Grandpa looks at me like I’ve grown a 2nd head and a 3rd arm then leaves.)
hahaha ridiculous! You did them a favor!

Jeez I mean I figured there were things like that in place but I didn’t think it was that complicated hahaha

right…it’s just completely backwards and different as you travel so a lot of it is due to the ever changing rules
