The argument for fake IDs

By bryans_fresh - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I wanted to use my gift card for a liquor store. I went to pay the cashier, who said he needed to see my license. I gave it to him, along with my gift card. After paying, he asked me if I wanted him to cut it up, since the card was now worthless. I said yes. He cut up the wrong card. FML

#4: Actually, the cashier is required to hold the license in their hands and examine it closely to make sure it isn't counterfeit. Most licenses have a watermark that reflects when held the right way, this is why they are supposed to actually hold it in their hands. So, in short: shut up, you have no idea what you're saying. As for the OP, sucks dude. I hope you're getting the cashier to pay for it!! :/

#57-STFU and read #53 Just because you don't do something it doesn't mean no one else in the world does. Don't make shit up just to call fake on any story you can.

WOW. I'm pretty sure the guy isn't supposed to drink on the job! like 60 said, you might as well sue if you have nothing better to do. That'll teach him to pay attention/not drink on the job. Get some tape in the meantime.

Jeez o Petes, guys. The dude didn't just cut it up like with scissors. They have those shredder machines that you put stuff like that in. And some cards now have Visa on them and can be registered or something I think, so it's a good idea to dispose of them properly. And to people saying the OP is lazy, if the cashier just says "Want me to take care of this for you?" most people will say yes and not think twice, because it seems like a fine thing to do! And, often the cashier will keep the license right by him/her for some reason, and I never want to just grab it away, so I wait for them to hand it back.

I work in a mall, and the mall gift cards actually function like credit cards, where they're registered to one person, they have to sign, etc. So if this store runs on the same system, cutting it up might not be a bad idea, so that you can't get identifying information off of it.
