(An elderly woman well into her 70s comes through the check-out line with a single bottle of wine. [The clerk] starts to scan the bottle through.)
Customer: “Wait! Aren’t you going to check my ID?”
Clerk: “Er, no, ma’am, I don’t think it’s really necessary…”
Customer: “Well, that’s no good! You should check all ID if you’re selling alcohol.”
Clerk: “Well, okay. May I see your ID, please?”
(She hands over an ID card that is obviously fake.)
Clerk: “…ma’am, this card says you’re seventeen.”
Customer: “Oh, dear! You’ve caught me! I’m much too young to be buying this! It’s a good thing you were checking IDs. I’d better just go now! *skips out the door*
Clerk: “…”
...I am so doing this.

When people ask what working in retail is like I just tell them "The guy who yelled at us because we wouldn't make him a necklace after his dead wife's hair that he had with him in a carrier bag was not the oddest customer we ever had."
