I'm TABC

I was cruising through the restaurant when I saw Joy picking over an ID.

She saw me and called me over. It looked like she needed help saying no.

I looked at the so called ID I realized that it wasn't an ID at all. It looked like she had taken a TABC seal and put it on a card sized piece of paper and then laminated it.

IT WAS NOT VALID

I told her that we could not accept it.

She told me that they accept it on Northgate...it was unfortunate for her that we are not Northgate.

I told her that since it was not a government issued ID we would not be able to serve her.

So her friend ordered a drink...go figure.

I was policing the area...and I noticed that the straw was in her direction.

I was underage once...and I have been of age without an ID many times...but more important to me...BECAUSE ME IS WHAT I CARE ABOUT...I would get fined if she got served & we got caught.

So I was talking to Jay Sam in the bar...and she must have not connected that he was a manager too...because as soon as I left her sight she took a drink...and Jay Sam saw her.

I approached the table to take the drink

I said, "Mam I am going to have to take this drink off of the table because you do not have a valid ID and you were drinking from the drink."

She looked shocked that I was following the rules.

"But I am 22..."

So I asked her if she had a ID that backed that up...and she referred to the fake looking paper...I explained that the ID was not a valid ID.

She then said...but it works on Northgate...so I reiterated what I had told her earlier...we are not Northgate...and it does not work here...

I went further into detail to tell her that if TABC were to walk in here and she was drinking that I could receive a $10,000 fine...and I was not willing to take that chance.

She then told me, "I am TABC"...so I asked her to produce an ID and then jumped right into, "And you should also be very familiar with the rules and aware of why I was refusing service of alcohol."

She then back peddled to, well I am TABC certified...so I told her I was too...and since we both have the same training she knows as well as I do that I cannot accept the ID she was trying to use.

She then wanted to make sure she wasn't having to pay for the drink...I told her I would take it off her bill...

WOW...I don't doubt that she was 22...but I am not taking a chance on a $10,000 fine...especially when she is spouting ignorance...

I'm TABC...please...

If you are TABC, then I am the president...and I VETO your ID...biach!!!
