Oh, Wal-Mart, you make no damn sense...

Deleted. Happy people?!

[mutesaint]

I never get id'ed anymore(also 24), but I remember it being a bitch when I did. Hell, I was at Hasting the other day. Bought 3 Dario Argento movies, this horror called dark water, 2 other R-rated movies, and a season of King of the Hill...and a coke. Every single item, except the coke, the guy had to tell the computer that I was at least 17. Took about 5 extra minutes cause of all the typing in. He never once asked. Hell, we were joking about it. He promised me if the coke ringed up as 17 and up the whole load was free.:)


Similar thing at Best Buy. Got the Mist and a couple of other R rated movies. The lady never asked me for an id.(I did have to remind her to scan I am legend cause she missed it on her first way through. She was cute and grateful)

I think its the beard. I am looking for work right now.(I could work, but I want work in film/television production and have been looking in that field, which is a hard field to break into) and look kind of scruffy. Thick beard, buzzed head(I started to bald earlier and it hides it...kinda), and a goofy as shit smile on my face cause of what Im buying keep me from getting tagged I guess.

I did get id'ed trying to by a drink at a resteraunt once. I think it was because I was visiting my parents and was with them.

One other thing. How the fuck do you spell resteraunt? I used to have no problem spelling the word, but now no matter what I do spell check says no but offers no help either. I figured with how off-topic I went with this post already I'd go ahead and ask.

[vesaker]

Another factor about this, and is what really just confuses the hell out of me and pisses me off: I have never been asked for I.D. at Wal-Mart for anything else I purchase. I'm a drinker, I like to drink. My fridge is always full of beer and at least 1 type of hard liquor. I buy it all at Wal-Mart, because they generally have the cheapest prices in town. Hell, just the other day I picked up a 12 pack of High Life for under $7. Go to a liquor store and its easily over $10. But not once, ever, EVER, have I been asked for I.D. when buying alcohol. If I go to the U-Scan checkout, the person always just comes over, looks at me, and punches in a date. If I'm in a regular check out lane, the person looks at me and punches in a date. Same goes to tobacco. Occasionally I'll buy a cigar, or a pack of Swisher Sweets (I like the smell more than anything). Again, never been I.D.ed on any of it.

But lately, every fucking time I buy an R-rated or Unrated DVD, I have to dig out my drivers license because some old hag (its always an old woman) apparently doesnt think I look 17 years old. What this is all saying to me is, Wal-Mart could apparently care less if I plan on getting drunk or if I want to slowly develop mouth/lung cancer, but if I want to purchase a movie with sex and violence and swearing in it, I have to prove to them that I am old enough to do so. How long will this continue? In just a few years I'll be hitting 30 (yeesh, thats weird to say) and will I have to produce an I.D. then to prove that I'm 17 or older?

with these 2 examples i would say its a matter of the employee covering their ass. I know it shouldn't make a difference since you don't look any younger when you buy a DvD compared to when you buy alcohol but i can see movies being something thats been complained about before by some lazy ass parent.

Like they've already had a ton of complaints form parents about their kids buying inapropreate movies there already probably so the manager makes them check ID for movies no matter what.

[Monotreme]

I really feel sorry for you guys that you need ID to purchase or rent an R-rated movie. Even the theatres around here are pretty lax about the ratings; in stores they are practically nonexistent. Although I'm over 17 now anyways so it doesn't matter anymore.

Look at it this way: whenever someone asks me for ID when I want to purchase alcohol/go to an R-rated movie, I take it as a compliment that I look young enough to actually pass as a 16-year-old :) Look at it that way and you'll feel better about it.

i'm only saying this cause like Jackson i am a 24 year as well old and no 20+ year old guy wants to be thought of looking like he's 16, regardless of cercumstance lol

[Monotreme]

What, I think that people thinking that you look younger than you are is a compliment! But I'm only 19, I guess the whole psyche changes once you pass that big 2-0... :P

Yet another entry in the 'everyone's an asshole' livejournal of jackson13 we call the rant forum.

Maybe if you're not too busy talking about how much of a "man" you are by drinking all the time and having a goatee you could think that the "old hag" who always pesters you is just following protocol at her work? Of course you didn't, you were too distracted by your husky man voice to figure that out so you just assume she's an asshole for taking up 10 seconds of your time so she won't get in shit from her manager. Wow, she really is a fucking bitch!!

Pwned. Isn't it protocol for most businesses in general to card anyone who looks under 30 when purchasing something that requires you to be at least 18? I know that's how it was when I was a cashier at Food Lion carding people for beer and cigarettes. Of course he didn't get mad at the people who didn't do their job by selling him alcohol without carding him, because it was of convenience to him.

[TheJadedGamer]

I always have my card ready to be checked when I go into stores like Wal-Mart. Doesn't bother me at all.

[vesaker]

i don't think its so much of a physical thing as it is a maturity thing, like if someone thinks you look 16 they may just assume your some dumb kid or something. But then again its not like ppl who look old are always mature either, heh.

[APzombie]

I get depressed when i shop for DVD's at wal mart. I don't know, its just not a very good envirement for me to buy films at. Best Buy and the local college/hip/used places really only do it for me.

[NuclearMisfit]

I appreciate it when Im buying something with a credit card you never know when some credit fraud loving prick has your card and some stores never ask for ID.

[jackson13]

Alright kiddies, changing gears here. Since someguy obviously feels that I'm just a whiny little bitch who does nothing but complain, I'd like to share a POSITIVE story of some outstanding customer service I recieved lately.

My town is a fairly small town, 14,000 people. We have a huge Wal-Mart and a dumpy K-Mart and not much else, hence me buying DVD's at Wal-Mart all the time. But the other weekend I was in a town about 30 miles north of me, and stopped by a Target they have. Normally I feel Target is overpriced in a lot of items, especially DVD's, but while I was there I noticed they were having a huge sale on TV Seasons. For 17.99 each I picked up Arrested Development Seasons 1 and 3 (they were out of 2), Seasons 1&2 of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia (which are in the same set) and Seasons 4 and 6 of That 70's Show (they were out of 5). I got all of that for under $100. Pretty damn good deal. Anyways, I go home, open all my stuff, go into my little movie room to put stuff away and I see Season 4 of That 70's Show already staring me in the face. I had forgotten I owned it. Not the first time something like that has happened. In fact, its happened twice before with 'What About Bob'. Anyways, I had the receipt, so the next day I went back and told them what happened.

The lady at the customer service desk was right away extremely friendly. Knowing that Target doesnt give refunds on open items, I was expecting to grab something off the shelf and exchange it. But she surprised me right away by offering my money back. It caught me off guard, and seeing as how I was looking for A.D. Season 2 or 70's Show Season 5, I declined and said I was just looking to exchange it. I ran back to the electronics section and, sadly, they were still out of both seasons. I noticed the first volume of Family Guy, but for a slightly higher price than what I paid for all the other stuff. I think Family Guy was like 22.99, so it was only a few dollars difference. I took it back up to the C.S. Desk and told the lady they were still out of what I wanted and that I was going to get this instead and just pay the difference, since it was only a few dollars. She completely shocked me by not having any of it. She told me that it was their fault they were out of those 2 TV seasons and she printed off 2 rain checks for me, 1 for each of them. They are good for up to 45 days and can be used at ANY Target store, nationwide. But thats not all, she also informed me that since I couldnt get what I wanted for the price I wanted, she was going to just trade out Family Guy, even. I didnt have to pay a penny. I know it was only a few dollars, so it wasnt much, but I known stores to haggle over mere pennies before. I thanked her profusely, and even told her how awesome it is that she did something like that for me. That caught HER off guard then and she informed me that it had been a bad day and that it was nice to hear something nice from a customer and I said something along the lines of "well how could ANYONE complain in this scenario?" She then gave me my receipt, my rain checks and an online survey thing to complete.

As soon as I got home I got online, took the survey, and even sent Target an email about how nice she was and how awesome my experience was (I had her name cause it was on the reciept). So hopefully it trickled down and she got a good report from someone based on what I sent in.

Now, my whole point in telling this is, I'm not a bad guy. I used to work retail, I know what its like. While Someguy apparently thinks I'm a piece of shit for getting worked up like I did, I was simply insulted by what Wal-Mart did today. I'm a grown man (im sure Someguy is thinking 'oh, here we go again' right now). There is nothing about me that says or looks 17 years old. And for this woman to treat me like so was just insulting to me, both mentally and physically. I expressed myself over it, said my piece, and was subsequently attacked for doing so. Whatever. I guess from now on I'll only say good things about places and things so that I dont offend anyone else.

I remember someone else a while back made a rant saying he got carded there for buying Karate Kid at Walmart.

Yeah, that was me. Wal-mart just sucks all around.

[Bourne101]

My local Wal-Mart is full of bums who suck at life and don't give a fuck. I was buying Fight Club there at age 10.

[Brendan M.]

You people who shop at Wal-Mart. Is that like the only store in you're area where you can buy movies?

If so, sucks to be you.

I'm happy i got Entertainmart over here.
That store rocks better than Wal-Mart.

[NathanRomano]

I never shop at Wal-Mart anymore. Thanks to a little documentary. Anyway, I either go to Target or Best Buy and they never card me for R rated movies and I'm 15.

By the way, some people need to look over the rules....

[TheJadedGamer]

You people who shop at Wal-Mart. Is that like the only store in you're area where you can buy movies?

If so, sucks to be you.

If I'm feeling like I want to blind buy something, I head to Wal-Mart for the $5.00 bin. I've found some pretty good movies floating around in there, so I could honestly not give a fuck about buying movies at Wal-Mart. That bin is a god damn saint, and I could dig through it in days to find another movie I could add to my collection. Just Tuesday I picked up Rounders and Detroit Rock City, so I'm fine.

But yeah, it is basically the only store near my area. We have a Sound Shop in the mall that usally sells some of the better edition and hard to find DVDs. But I only go there when I know I want to find something, because if not I'll end up buying the whole store. I'm fine with giving Wal-Mart $5, but set me loose on a store with a shitload of good DVDs, then I want to buy the place up. I guess that's why I go to Wal-Mart in the first place: cheap blind-buys that I always end up enjoying.

[TeeRay]

Is it really that much trouble to reach into your pocket and pull our your I.D.? It's store policy for them to ask for I.D. anyway, and employees could get into some deep shit if their caught not checking I.D, regardless of how old the customer looks.

It's such a minor thing to complain about.

[cletus66]

I really think Wal Mart should be a little more lax on their carding policy with R rated movies. Personally I think they should eliminate it altogether. A few months ago I got carded at Wal Mart buying Escape From New York and I'm 29 years old. I look younger than my age but I don't look under 17. And much like jackson13's experience it was midweek during school hours when anyone under 17 would be in school and not buying DVD's at Wal Mart.


Wal Mart should worry about carding for things like beer and cigarettes which are against the law to sell to minors. If i'm not mistaken the MPAA does not have the authority to shut down and store caught selling a R rated movie to anyone under 17. ( but i'm sure they would love to) So I say just let people buy thir movies without the hassle unless it is completely obvious they are under 17 years of age.

[BanksIsDaFuture]

Wal-Mart's policy is to ID anyone who looks under 40. Relax, they're just doing their job.

Is it gonna kill you just to flash your license? God, you act like they wanted a blood sample or something?

[The Postmaster General]

You should burn that Wal-Mart down. That'll teach 'em.

I practically chase down and tackle bartenders and waiters, forcing them to look at my ID. The only thing that sucks worse than getting carded is not getting carded. You'll see...

[X-Nightcrawler]

Heh. At least you have an easily understandable ID you just need to show.

See, I'm 22. The mexican ID does not state your birthdate explicitly, neither does the driver's liscence. So when I'm in the US, and I order a beer, I need to show the code on the card (something like the US's social security number) that includes, again in code, your birthdate. So if your name is Jules McLovin Willers, and you were born, say, March 20th, 1983, the code would go something like MCWJ032083 (plus random numbers after that to ensure it's not repeated).

Oh, the best part is that the idiotic thing has printed out, explicitly, your age when it was issued. Since it's issued for everyone in the age of 18, it CLEARLY says "Age: 18".

Try explaining that one. I've several times given up and just gone "Oh you know what, nevermind, I'll just take a coke." So I started carrying my passport.

[vesaker]

You should burn that Wal-Mart down. That'll teach 'em.

hey now, have we not learned anything from South Park?

Wow Jackson your right that chick at Target must have rocked. I to have worked in retail, though not very long due to my temperment to blatantly stoopid ppl, so i can see where that exchange caught the 2 of you off guard.

See the funny thing is all ppl need is recognition for waht they do and usually they are happy. Its when pricks with the 'customers always right' attitude that ruin it for everyone. They ruin it for the employee by treating them like shit adn then they in turn may treat the next customer like shit, its a vicious cycle.

But what happened here was the good side of it all when the employee wants to do good by the customer, though mind you you came in knowing exactly what you wanted and wasn't gonig to kick up any real fuss, regardless of how they were treated and in turn you returned the kindness. This cycle you have begun is far less vicious and for all you know you made have made the day of others simply by giving that employee the recognition she disereved.

Pay it Forward ;)

[jaw2929]

I agree with the whole ID thing.... I'm 25.... A coupla months back, I was carded atta movie theatre to see an R-rated flick. The cunt that was asking for my ID wasn't even fucking 17 himself for fuck's sake!

Only difference is, I look young.... But not fucking 8 years younger than I am, certainly at LEAST fucking 20 gaddamn it! :p

[Draccoca]

The whole carded thing for restricted media not just movies can easily be blamed on all th frivolous lawsuits brought on by parents who don't see what their kids are buying. Then there's also the whole scenario where the parent is buying it as a gift for a child because that's what they want only to find out at the counter that it's restricted.

So wal-mart and all the others are only protecting themselves from those stupid lawsuits that are always going on.

[shoe1985]

I don't see the big deal about this topic. I never get card and I am 22. The only time I was ever card for anything is when I went to see Team America in theaters.

It could be worse people. Also, Wal-Mart sucks. I can never find anything I want at mine, so I always head to the city and get what I need.

[XanderTheZeppo]

Well, I work at Wal-Mart part time. I also bought The Mist on Tuesday only because I really didn't feel like going anywhere else to check for specials(which I normally do). Anyways, you have to be 18 to work at Wal-Mart, I am 20, and guess what, I got carded by someone who KNOWS me! I WORK there, I have to be at least 18....I don't get that place.

I'm with you Jackson13, Wal-Mart makes no damn sense...

[ListersParanoia]

Hehehehe! I dred the day when somebody says "don't card that old fart, he comes in every fu**in day" I keep my liscense right next to my debit for this exact reason, be prepaired and the process will suck much less...

Place I buy the most DVDs is Newbury Comics. One of the stores I go to has a whole seection of all Critterion Collection DVDs. It's great. I had trouble trying to find copies of Sword of Doom, the Samurai Trilogy, and Peeping Tom until I found that one store. Also, they have a $5 bin too but I never really find movies in there that I have been dying to own or see, but sometimes they do have stuff I've been interested in, like the original Punisher and The Chinese Connection 2.

[The Postmaster General]

Hehehehe! I dred the day when somebody says "don't card that old fart, he comes in every fu**in day" I keep my liscense right next to my debit for this exact reason, be prepaired and the process will suck much less...

Haha. Good point. That reminded me that when I did get carded regularly I usually would have my ID ready. I do that with my credit cards too, but only like 10% of the time do they ever ask for it. That bothers me because I've known someone who got their stuff stolen and the signature used was totally different than the one on the back of the card - name spelled wrong bad.


hey now, have we not learned anything from South Park?


That's true.

Hey jackson13, you should pick up Target and use it to squash WalMart. They'll all be flat and you'll be like "HAH!" and that'll fucking show em!!

For real though, I'm clueless about the South Park reference.

What the fuck is this bullshit? These are some goddamn stupid fucking complaints. How fucking arrogant and hard-headed can you fucking be? Because he's doing WHAT HIS FUCKING JOB REQUIRES HIM TO DO OR ELSE HE'LL BE FUCKING FIRED IF CAUGHT, HE'S A FUCKING CUNT?! And what the fuck does he being under 17 have to do with anything? I was 17 years old when I was a cashier at Food Lion, yet I was still required not only by company policy but federal fucking law to card anyone who appeared to be under 40 when they attempted to purchase tobacco or alcohol.

Are you and Jackson so fucking high and mighty that you think standard business procedure doesn't apply to you guys and that employees should risk losing their jobs simply because them following company policy would be of inconvenience to you guys? Get the fuck out of my face with this kind of bullshit. This whole fucking stupid ass rant is pointless and without any merit or credibility.

[The Postmaster General]

Back in my day, the men stocked the shelves and the women ran the registers. That's the way it was and we liked it.

[ParileseMonster]

I am 33 and get carded all the damn time for everything. It just takes a minute to pull out the shit and show it. Yeah it is annoying but you just do it, just like you go to the movies and turn off your damn phone for 90 minutes. People are impatient these days and in too much of a damn hurry. Attention spans are for shit these days as well. Too many accidents happen these days because folk just won't slow or calm the fuck down already. :rolleyes:

[someguy]

INT. WAL-MART DVD SECTION

An OLD HAG is standing at the register counting money. She stops counting midway and looks up. A smell has suddenly hit the air, something she's never experienced in her life. She sniffs loudly, taking in the scent. She is interrupted by the source of said smell.

JACKSON (in a deep silky smooth Barry White-like voice): Well hello there.

Right away the woman realizes that she's been smelling the sweet sweet scent of what a REAL MAN is like. It takes nearly all her will to not make her legs buckle at the sight of such a shining example of masculinity.

OLD HAG: Uh..uhhmm...hello sir.....

JACKSON: Hello, I would like to buy this double disc set of Frank Darabont's The Mist with a special black and white version of the movie that serves as a director's cut.

The old hag is DRIPPING WET at how knowledgable and informative this jackson is about what he is buying. She can hear her BODY JUICES dripping on the linoleum floor.

OLD HAG: Y..yeah I'll just uh....get that for you.

She takes the DVD from his hands and softly moans once she feels his palm sweat on the package. She feels embarrassed about moaning in front of him, but jackson only continues to stare straight in her eyes the way a wolf does when eyeing its prey.

She scans the DVD and remembers the work protocol. The old hag knows it is a silly question to ask. She knows that he's of age, anyone can tell just by looking at the facial hair! Jackson sighs, and the old hag takes in the smell of his breath. She can tell what that breath is anywhere. Alcohol and pussy. Lots of pussy. The old hag feels like she can go into a grand mal seizure of bliss at any moment.

OLD HAG (quietly whispering to herself): No, always follow the protocol!

She composes herself yet again and then turns back to jackson.

OLD HAG: This is a silly question, but do you have any ID wi-

Jackson stops her from finishing the next word and puts his finger on her lips.

JACKSON: Baby, I think you know the answer to that question.

The old hag whimpers and then lunges for his pants. Once she takes them off the pheromones run rampant throughout the store. Women drop everything and run to jackson, screaming hysterically as their hormones takes control of their entire body. Men enter a deepening depression and curl up into a ball, unable to take the level of testosterone they will never reach in their lives. Jackson, clearly used to this kind of situation, lays back and lets things play out.

JACKSON: Oooooooooooooohhhhhh yeah

[jackson13]

Yeah, I edited this too. Deal.

[X-Nightcrawler]

No one would ever be fired for not carding someone who IS A GODDAMN ADULT! If it makes me "high and mighty" because I have a problem with being treated and talked to like a child then so what. Whoop! There's the problem right there.

Did the cashier somehow offer to change your diapers? Did she condescend to you because you're so young?

No, dude. She is not treating you like a child and it's nothing personal. You kinda have to be really insecure to feel condescended to because someone asked for age verification.

[therealjohng]

Personally, I'd take it as a compliment if someone carded me. I was at the bar last week and I didn't get carded for a beer. I felt weird.

[X-Nightcrawler]

Personally, I'd take it as a compliment if someone carded me. I was at the bar last week and I didn't get carded for a beer. I felt weird.Yeah, and if there are underage kids next to you, they go "Aww, why can't we have an ID like this dashingly attractive Adonis of a man." (well they'd say that if it was me with the ID, I don't know you guys).

[MisterChristian]

I find a thread about "Wal-Mart, you make no damn sense...", quite IRONIC.

[Mr.HyDe807]

Jeez, Jackson did a little rant, as he always does. Its not like hes fucking gonna make a petition to shut down Wal Mart. He felt annoyed that he got carded, and wanted to complain. I don't see how hes acting cool with being able to get alcohol or smokes without getting carded. Hes just confused on how hes able to do that and not with movies, making a little extreme remarks:D.

Its a Jackson13 rant. No need to go "Jesus, stop complaining". Just say "its their protocol" and thats it. No need to complain about fellow schmoes! People get worked up all the time, Jackson is no different:D

[Draccoca]

Yeah what's different from this rant of Jackson's to any of the other ones he has. He's always (no offense Jackson) going over the edge on something that annoys him but he probably feels good about it afterwards instead of keeping it in and going postal in the library or wal-mart.

Alot of the times I feel the same way and wish I could rant about it but I can never type it out where it doesn't doesn't like the tazmanian devil.

It maybe policy and procedure of wal-mart but it would piss someone off when they can get beer and smokes without ID. One day I bought smokes from a store without getting carded walked out to my car and got the itch to play the lottery, well when i bought my ticket i got carded. BY THE SAME PERSON!!!!!!!! what a moron he was. but I just turned around and walked out.


PS Jackson the beginning of this is all in good fun

[jackson13]

In my defense, and since other people seem to be sticking up for me (thanks, you know who you are), this is the Rant section of the forum. Something bothered me, I ranted. What more do you want?


And, for what its worth, I purchased 'Stand by Me' tonight at Wal-Mart and didnt get carded. The girl didnt even look up at me until she told me my total. Thats the way it should be.




Plus, you know, I was flexing and grunting and saying things like 'Bitch, I'm a man, bitch. Scan my movie, bitch. Yeah, you like my gotee, bitch? Dont even think about asking for I.D., I'm all man, baby. You gettin' wet? Yeah, baby, yeah. Then I whipped out my cock, slapped her in the face with it, grabbed my DVD and left.

Since, you know, thats how I act everywhere I go. Being all high and mighty and a man and whatnot.

[bourahioro]

I've seen a few of Jackson's rants here, and they are what they are...Rants. who cares if he does one rant about something majorly annoying, or a thousand about weird little things? That's what the rant section is for, and there are a few of you who seem to think that it's okay to abuse AND insult a fellow Schmoe - knock it off or you're gonna end up banned, you know the rules.

I know we're ALL guilty at some point of bashing at others here, but this seems to be overdone in this case.

[starcat]

I just totally got carded at Wal-Mart for buying a package of BB's, I'm 31 and havent been carded for anything in years...

[The Postmaster General]

I am 33 and get carded all the damn time for everything.

Okay. We are demanding profile pics.

Personally, I'd take it as a compliment if someone carded me. I was at the bar last week and I didn't get carded for a beer. I felt weird.

I know, and why isn't ever things like getting a loan? Why can't I go into a bank and they are like, "Hey this guy looks alright, lets give him some money!" No, bank tellers really get confused when they ask for your ID and you touch your hairline saying, "Haha, I haven't been carded in years. Why thank you."

I just totally got carded at Wal-Mart for buying a package of BB's, I'm 31 and havent been carded for anything in years...

Michael Moore really did make a difference.

You can continue ranting all you want jackson, just as I can continue pointing out how hilarious it is to see you call people assholes for acting reasonable. I mean you basically said your manhood was insulted because a woman followed the rules of her job (which does explain why you spent half of the rant talking about how you drink and have facial hair among other manly things).

INT. WAL-MART DVD SECTION

An OLD HAG is standing at the register counting money. She stops counting midway and looks up. A smell has suddenly hit the air, something she's never experienced in her life. She sniffs loudly, taking in the scent. She is interrupted by the source of said smell.

JACKSON (in a deep silky smooth Barry White-like voice): Well hello there.

Right away the woman realizes that she's been smelling the sweet sweet scent of what a REAL MAN is like. It takes nearly all her will to not make her legs buckle at the sight of such a shining example of masculinity.

OLD HAG: Uh..uhhmm...hello sir.....

JACKSON: Hello, I would like to buy this double disc set of Frank Darabont's The Mist with a special black and white version of the movie that serves as a director's cut.

The old hag is DRIPPING WET at how knowledgable and informative this jackson is about what he is buying. She can hear her BODY JUICES dripping on the linoleum floor.

OLD HAG: Y..yeah I'll just uh....get that for you.

She takes the DVD from his hands and softly moans once she feels his palm sweat on the package. She feels embarrassed about moaning in front of him, but jackson only continues to stare straight in her eyes the way a wolf does when eyeing its prey.

She scans the DVD and remembers the work protocol. The old hag knows it is a silly question to ask. She knows that he's of age, anyone can tell just by looking at the facial hair! Jackson sighs, and the old hag takes in the smell of his breath. She can tell what that breath is anywhere. Alcohol and pussy. Lots of pussy. The old hag feels like she can go into a grand mal seizure of bliss at any moment.

OLD HAG (quietly whispering to herself): No, always follow the protocol!

She composes herself yet again and then turns back to jackson.

OLD HAG: This is a silly question, but do you have any ID wi-

Jackson stops her from finishing the next word and puts his finger on her lips.

JACKSON: Baby, I think you know the answer to that question.

The old hag whimpers and then lunges for his pants. Once she takes them off the pheromones run rampant throughout the store. Women drop everything and run to jackson, screaming hysterically as their hormones takes control of their entire body. Men enter a deepening depression and curl up into a ball, unable to take the level of testosterone they will never reach in their lives. Jackson, clearly used to this kind of situation, lays back and lets things play out.

JACKSON: Oooooooooooooohhhhhh yeah

I think you have too much time on your hands

Yea but I didn't get a chance to. I wasn't talking about you anyways, but thanks anyways for being pompous and insecure.

Maybe if you want people to stop carding you you should change the fucking way you look. It's not her goddamn fault you look so insanely young. You chose to be that way.

Yet another entry in the 'everyone's an asshole' livejournal of jackson13 we call the rant forum.

Maybe if you're not too busy talking about how much of a "man" you are by drinking all the time and having a goatee you could think that the "old hag" who always pesters you is just following protocol at her work? Of course you didn't, you were too distracted by your husky man voice to figure that out so you just assume she's an asshole for taking up 10 seconds of your time so she won't get in shit from her manager. Wow, she really is a fucking bitch!!

The definition of lame.

The old hag asked me for my ID when I was buying a pack of smokes. She's a bitch.

[someguy]

Jackson this rant is ridiculous. What's your big issue here? You're all pissed off because you got carded for buying The Mist at Wal-Mart. Do you know there's a policy that people must be carded when purchasing an R-rated film? Some employees will definitely not follow it all the time, if someone comes in and it's obvious that they aren't underage then they won't bother with the carding. Other employees might follow their work policy though, and can you really fault them for it? They're doing their job, and when you call the clerk an 'old hag' because she carded you it makes you look worse than her. Then again you tend to throw insults around at people who act reasonably so it's no surprise.

What really cracked me up though was that you actually took what she said personally. Really, she insulted your manhood over this? Over a stupid work policy at Wal-Mart? I found it hilarious that you kept mentioning how you're a big guy, you're a drinker, you have facial hair, etc. since it's like you're trying to puff up your self esteem again after this 'old hag' completely DESTROYED you by asking for your ID.

Get over it. She wasn't insulting your precious manhood, she wasn't doing anything harmful. She probably knew you weren't underage but just followed the policy because it's her job. One of my relatives is 49 and he got carded at Wal-Mart by an employee and they both laughed about it. He didn't call her a fucking bitch and talk about how she hurt his feelings about it. They knew it was a stupid policy and laughed it off.

To people sticking up for jackson, so what if it's just a rant? That doesn't mean that I or anyone else can't point out how ridiculous it looks. It's funny how this happened recently with Bubba and jackson in the rant where a guy looked for a movie with next to no criteria (which I actually thought was a decent rant since it's an annoying issue) and there weren't many people out there telling about how it's just a rant or jackson's protocol. If this woman tried calling jackson out on being underage then this rant would be pretty justified, hell if you complained about how Wal-Mart has a stupid policy by carding everyone no matter what I'd find it justified. Instead you ranted about how much of a dipshit this woman was for doing what she's supposed to do and then felt like she was calling you a little boy. I just found that to be a bit ridiculous.

I never said you shouldn't point anything out, and I wasn't trying to defend anybody. I'm just saying that he probably got a little carried away with his rant, so we don't all have to jump on him for it. Everything got a little hot under the collar with some people in the thread, so i was just trying to cool everybody off. Your definitely right Someguy, and i can see how that can annoy you too.

Lets just call it even, and bring in a great big group hug!:D

[SplatterMaster5]

Whoop! There's the problem right there.

Did the cashier somehow offer to change your diapers? Did she condescend to you because you're so young?

No, dude. She is not treating you like a child and it's nothing personal. You kinda have to be really insecure to feel condescended to because someone asked for age verification.

^ Damn, I sometimes talk like that in real life. (Pointing out what starts a problem.) I didn't realize how annoying it was until I read your post. Thank you, I shall never act like that again:)

I think the difference was that I was actually ranting too. That, and I didn't take jabs at jackson's physicality.

I've always poked fun at jackson's anger, for as long as I can remember on these treads, but I usually do just that, and make a joke like telling him to burn down the building or something. That particular thread, I took umbrage not with jackson as person, but at how he was performing his job.

As much as I think jackson13 overreacts at people, and as much as I disagree with his reactions to customers, I've never seen him act or react like that to people on these boards. At the end of the day, I have respect for the guy, and I'd like to think that translates through my criticisms of his rants.

Either that, or I have another theory that hardly no one ever reads my posts. There's a thread in the politics forum where I made a lot of good arguments and no one replied until I posted "..." --- It's like that was just enough for someone to read, take in, and comprehend, therefore, that's the post that got quoted.

[FatSakHead]

You need to stop being so open-minded and nice to everyone Bubba. It's getting on my nerves. You can stop now.

[speedbeaver]

Back on topic...I was in Wal Mart last night and got carded for Poltergeist. Fuckin Poltergeist! It's PG! and I'm 20...I haven't been carded anywhere since I was 18. Ridiculous.

[vesaker]

For real though, I'm clueless about the South Park reference.

then you need to watch the "Something Wall-mart This Way Comes" episode of South Park and you'll find out just how futile it is to burn down a Wal-Mart.

You need to stop being so open-minded and nice to everyone Bubba. It's getting on my nerves. You can stop now.

Come now Fatsak, we can't all be hate filled and disgruntled like you. ;)

[dfd3657]

I came into this thread after jackson had deleted his initial post, and I've only read the second page of comments, so I can't say for sure what exactly happened (sounds like jackson got carded at Wal-Mart and got pissed off because), but yeah, I get carded all the time at Wal-Mart. I'm a big fucking dude with long hair and a beard, but I know some 16 year old kids that look like that. You can't tell these days. AND let me put a little spin on this. I work at GameStop, and we sell lots of M-rated games, and there's LOTS of little kiddies trying to buy these games. We crack down fucking HARD on IDs; we're required to card ANYONE that looks under 35 when they buy an M-rated game. Some people get fucking pissed off and throw a fit, but I'm just doing my job. Some people go "Shit, I never get carded for alcohol anymore." All I have to say is, "Blame the fucking politicians." But I don't need to take this any further. This was about movies, not games.

But all it boils down to is that some people are really lax when it comes to their jobs, and it's all the state of the nation. Apparently politicians think that violent video games and (to a lesser degree) movies are worse than drugs and alcohol. I just take it in strides. I card because, hell, I don't want to get my fucking ass fired (they've got secret shoppers that come in to the store and buy M-rated games just to see if we're carding people). So I wouldn't get your panties in a twist over some "old hag" that asked to see a little plastic card with your picture on it when you bought an R-rated movie. I got carded for No Country just the other day, and it didn't bother me in the least, but that's probably cause I know what it's like having the higher ups up your ass for shit like that. Anyway, if you've got a wallet, it takes, what, maybe 10 seconds to pull it out of your back pocket and flip it open?

[someguy]

I think the difference was that I was actually ranting too. That, and I didn't take jabs at jackson's physicality.

I'm not insulting his physicality or throwing personal insults around, I'm making fun of his 'requirements' to not get carded (specifically the one about having a goatee/beard) and essentially doing a rant against a rant. I just get annoyed when he insults someone who doesn't deserve it and I wanted to call him out on it since he has done it before. Basically, he should be looking at the bigger picture and rant against Wal-Mart forcing everyone to get carded rather than the 'old hag' cashier doing her job.

As much as I think jackson13 overreacts at people, and as much as I disagree with his reactions to customers, I've never seen him act or react like that to people on these boards.

I have actually been following this thread since day one, but have stayed awfully quiet until dfd3657 showed up to knock some sense into everyone. First of all, I too work in the business of carding people (theater) and prior to that I ran a cigar store. Carding people happens, move on. I'm 27 and still get carded (beer, cigarettes, hell even movies/video games sometimes), I don't bitch about it, BECAUSE I DO IT TOO! Put yourself on the other side of the counter for a second. Do you follow your bosses orders? That is all they/we are doing...our jobs. It may not be as fantastic of a job as whatever you do, but many of us like to consider ourselves good employees who take pride in whatever we do.

Also, I am not attacking Jackson here. Just anyone who thinks carding people is ridiculous. When running the cigar store our DM used to pick out her 17 yo daughters HS friends to secret shop us. Some were 18, some were not, but most of them looked it. If any one of my employees didn't card them then WE BOTH WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED! I realize I am comparing cigarettes to movies, but honestly to some people that line is just too fine to distinguish.

On a personal note to Jackson, I support your rants. That is what the forum is here for and I applaud you for using it (as opposed to ripping that poor old hags head off).

You are emphasing the wrong word, YOUNG adults. At 13 most teenagers feel like they know everything that there is to know which far from the truth. There is still a lot to be learned and a thirteen year old is still very susceptible to many harmful things. Just look at how most thirteen years olds act and you can honestly tell me you want to see them subjected to more violence, sex and harmful materials. Most thirteen years old now days are social morons and have almost zero courtesy for anyone around them and feeding the fire with material that may make them worse is not the solution. Better parenting is and if I had a thirteen year old they would not be watching rated R movies but parents can't be everywhere all the time thats why we have laws and rules established to help.
