Once I borrowed some of my friend’s theatrical blood, and answered the door with it on and growled out “hail satan!” They never came back.
I have them sometimes so I politely I say can you come back at bedtime and read me a few passages from Harry Potter cos I’m a huge fan of fiction but not keen on the one your brainwashed by. Always gets a reaction lol
So I went into town to the Dollar General I needed Z-quil and I wanted to get throat spray because my throat is killing me. I got some other stuff too. I go up to the check out and the stuff is getting scanned and the little dunce says she needs to see my ID to sell me the throat lozenges, I asked why. Little dunce says you have to be 21, I asked do I look anywhere close to being 21? Told little dunce to keep the stuff I am taking my business where common sense is used to make decisions.
Guy at the parts store was going to ask for my ID to buy engine degreaser. Asked him if i needed to be 21 to huff it. His reply was nope, 18. I said glad im not 18. Think he finally got the point i was pulling out my ID Sent from my RS501 using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
I will not stand and tolerate willing ignorance, stupid choice by the employee. I will spend $2.30 more on zqil at the grocery store before I ever set foot in the store again.
Here some locations, Qik N EZ is one of them, they are required by company policy to ID everyone for anything 18 and older. They used to have a sign, been a while since I've went inside one, that said something to the effect of 18 or 70, we ID. Doesn't matter if they kn9w you either. They were getting busted too many times selling to minors and said ID everyone regardless. I already have it in hand every time I check out with alcohol. Much like the FOID, I'm pretty much conditioned to it being a normal thing.
That being said, glad you mentioned the Z-Quill. I need to pick some up my self, it's the only sleeping aid that works for me and doesn't leave me waking up stating drowsey.
I had an incident with National Car Rental. I am emerald Isle executive level because I rent cars often. I called to make a reservation and the agent makes the reservation asks for my credit card number. The company has central billing no credit card needed, I gave him that number and he says not valid, keep in mind I have been using this card for 10 years worth of rentals, I asked what the deal was he said that that is not a valid card number. I was in a rush so I gave him my credit number then I get to where I was going hop in the rental car, give them my license and the central billing card. Rental issued no issue with the card. I was pissed because when I normally call for a reservation they get my emerald isle membership number and there is never a question about billing. 2 rentals later I go make a reservation and I get the same accent on the phone sure enough pulls the same stupid BS request. I laid into him that he is the only agent that has ever asked me these questions and he is making it more difficult more me, a loyal valued customer to do business with the company he represented, he was backpedalling fast but I was not having it even though he said he did not need my card number, I demanded to talk to his supervisor. I explained my disappointment to his supervisor and have never had an issue ever again.
This store does not even sell tobacco, I was not buying antihistamines and I am 53 with gray hair and whiskers very clearly not under age. Throat lozenges .
Hmmm, this is a dangerous topic for a couple of reasons: 1) What are the protocols for the department? Some protocols say the first officers are not to engage, only to close off the area and wait for backup. Where I'm at, I'm told by the training officers I know, the protocal is now to engage immediately in an active shooter situation. The reason for it is that most times, it is said they can deter/stop/eliminate the threat before more lives are lost. They believe the longer the delay, the greater the risk of losing more lives of those in danger. 2) No one truly knows how one will behave in a situation of grave danger and mortal risk of life. You can train all you want, drill all you want, until it becomes second nature. But, until it comes down to the moment of truth, it's all speculation. Some people panic and freeze. If this was the case, then he should be dismissed from the department and not charged. If it was willful failure to perform their duty with disregard for life, then should be tried in a court of law. However, an investigation should be made to help determine what exactly happened. I don't know enough about the actions, or lack thereof, that this officer took (same for the one in FL who supposedly froze at the door), to say anything more than I have above. Which, is based off of my own experience as well as from conversations I've had with those I know.
Yeah wondered why a dollar store would have anything worthy of age restrictions, but figured other states may be different than here with their products
I can't speak for all PDs across the nation; but not one worth a damn trains/teaches that anymore. Certainly not one as big as Broward County. Officers are taught to engage - I don't have the minute by minute stats in front of me but active shooters who are engaged almost always immediately desist...either killed, run away, or eat their guns Agreed, but the POS in Broward deserves to be charged. He lied about his inactions (proven by video and radio traffic), which is entirely different than just not acting.
Yep, agreed. It was a few years ago that policy changed here, and since then they've refined the actions they take. Yep, I recalled the officer in Broward having actions questioned. But, couldn't recall the specific outcomes which is why I left it kind of vague and stated that willful negligence should be tried once an investigation is complete and found as such.
There were also supervisors on the radio dictating the action. In a large scenario like that all hell breaks loose on the radio when radio discipline breaks down. Confusing and all a person can do is go by their training and instincts. Your instincts should be to protect kids and your training should be to kill. Any large PD worth anything teaches immediate engagement with the threat. That being said...is a guy with a pistol supposed to engage a guy with an semiautomatic rifle without teaming up with at least one or two more officers? When the Broward thing shakes out I hope that weenie of a Sheriff gets called out for not taking the threat serious and for letting one of his guys take all the blame. We have have had two active shooters in my county in the last decade. And both times officers have engaged the shooter immediately. One was a middle school kid and luckily a person(hero) in the school engaged him verbally until pd came flying in one after another. The second a college student shot at and was actively trying to kill his professor. Pd engaged immediately and thank God the idiots rifle jammed. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
