We stopped here to purchase alcohol on the way back home as it was Christmas Eve and we were visiting family here. The cashier carded me (because I "look under 40", I am 47!!!) and I didn't want to get my purse and come back inside because it was FREEZING out! I told the cashier (Ed, I think he said) I would go get the person who was actually wanting the alcohol and have him come inside to purchase it (he was the Designated Driver & wanted to be able to drink once we were back home in NC). He was smoking while I tried to get the drinks so we could hurry up and get home since kids were in the car and very tired, as was I. So, I tapped on the glass to get the attention of my cousin who was smoking out by the car and pointed to the alcohol to sign "hey, I don't have my id" and motioned for him to come inside to pay for it. As I approached the register to sit the alcohol down on the counter and let 'Ed' know that someone would come inside to pay for it, I hear Walter on the phone with the police telling them that he needs them to come to the store because I stole the alcohol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What!?
Are you freaking kidding me.....? WTAF.....?
I explained to Walter that he had just heard me explain to the cashier what I was doing and that I could not believe he actually called the police on me.
To this day I am still appalled! This young punk has no business working in customer service! They definitely cannot gauge someone's age correctly! I have a daughter who is 19 years old in College! And although very flattering, I haven't been carded in 12 years.
Out of principle, I left the alcohol sitting there and none of us... myself, my husband, my aunt nor my two cousins will EVER shop at another QT again!
I will get all of our family in SC to agree to do the same! This was beyond frustrating, and just WOW! read more
