I've made the argument that the liquor stores should do that since our responsibilities include checking sobriety and age. Both are impeded by customers clinging to the cell phones instead of addressing the clerks in conversation. Indeed, training videos suggest engaging the customer in conversation as a method for determining both.<BR/><BR/>My manager suggested that he would have taken the license, thrown it in the trash, kicked the customer out of the store, and then called police to report someone driving without a license. Blowhard. He wouldn't have actually done that. It was a fantasy of his that he was representing as truth to action. Still, I feel better about refusing someone the next time that situation arises.B.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02144122671576207950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937282.post-54099544048423063282007-03-23T18:11:00.000-07:002007-03-23T18:11:00.000-07:00I had a woman arrested in a small grocery/deli.

I asked her to leave as I suspected her of shoplifting, she refused and the officers having a coffee arrested her for criminal tresspass and grand larceny -- she had more stuff than I thought.<BR/><BR/>I saw a clerk in a busy line ask someone if they minded going first so the person at the counter wouldn't have to interrupt their phone call. I was full of admiration, I don't know if I could have pulled that off.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163861225782737777noreply@blogger.com
