CUSTOMER OF THE NIGHT 10/07 : I Heard You the First Time, Ms. Blimp, and I STILL Don't Care.

You know, this may be shocking to this woman, that
Pregnant women do not get absolutely everything
and anything they desire (unless of course you're
Gwenyth Paltrow or Reese Witherspoon, and if you
are Paltrow, the only thing you get the ability to do
is name your kids after a wax fruit basket)


Today, a VERY pregnant woman comes into the store, and she's in there for a good half hour, before she finally comes up with her rentals.

Me: Hi, do you have your Blockbuster card?

Woman: No.

Me: Do you have your driver's license or some kind of photo id?

Woman: No.

Me: I need some kind of photo identification in order to rent to you.

Woman: I'll give you my phone number...it's -

Me: I can't take your phone number miss.

Woman: Of course you can, stupid. It's-

Me: No, I can't take your phone number. I know for a fact I can't take it. I've worked here for 2 and a half years and there's absolutely NO way I can take your phone number, the computer has no way of even inputting it. It's not possible. If you don't have your Blockbuster card, Your driver's license, or some kind of Photo identification, I CANNOT rent to you.

Woman: Just take the phone number!

Me: I can't. There's no way to put it in the system.

Woman: *leans over and sticks her stomach right out towards me* you know, you have ALOT of nerve telling a pregnant woman what she can and can't do smart guy! I'm PREGNANT, you should be bending over backwards and doing what I tell you to do, cause I shouldn't be on my feet like this.

Me: Miss, even if I WANTED to take your phone number, if it was at all possible, I couldn't do it, there's no input for that in the computer.

Woman: Want me to get your manager and he can help you figure out how to take it? You're new aren't you?

Me: Miss, I'm not new. I know how to work the computer system. I can't take your phone number.

Woman: And why not?

Me: Because then ABSOLUTELY anyone who knew your phone number could rent on your account without you knowing it, ring up huge charges in auto sales and not return anything, and leave you with a huge bill. So we make sure that only the person that owns the account rents on it so there are no surprises. It's a safety precaution.

Woman: Well, I have no id, and i'm PREGNANT, and I want these movies, so what are you going to do?

Me: If you want to go out into your car and get your license I can wait.

Woman: I don't drive around with ID.

Me: I really don't know what to tell you...I can't rent this stuff to you.

Woman: Maybe you didn't understand me *she points at her stomach* I'm PREGNANT!

Me: Congratulations. I need Photo ID.

Woman: Okay, *she turns around and looks back at me* Okay, but ...I'M PREGNANT...like I want these movies...

Me: And I CAN'T rent them to you without I.D. Being pregnant has nothing to do with it. It's about monetary liability. what would you do if someone came in here and got tons of movies, never returned them and left you with a $70 bill in auto sales?

Woman: I'd sue you bastards for every last penny your worth! NOW RENT ME THE GOD DAMN MOVIES!

Me: Not without identification.

Woman: *screams* F... YOU!

and storms out.

Sorry, no exceptions, Photo I.D. or no rentals.
