Tough Talk,

I was recently at me grocery store which I have been going to for a couple years now as it’s close to me home. The other day, I go in to get me a six pack of beer and the manager came to the check out line and demanded me ID. No problem, I gave him me license which shows I am of legal age (24). He then says our policy is to require two IDs, which is total BS. Of course, I didn’t have me passport or any thing else. He was a total jerk to me. And I know he knows who I am. I was embarrassed as I like the check-out girl who had this creepy look on her face. I will not go back there ever again. What do you think TT? (Skibbereen, County Cork, Ireland)

Skibbereen,

I am disgusted that you are unaware of the saying from your own people: “Don’t get mad, get even.” I would continue to shop there, but every time you go there now, you destroy some of their property and leave a mess. For example, surreptitiously take a jar of honey or jelly, open it up and leave it on the shelf upside down. Maybe destroy the packaging of certain goods or pinch something so hard no one will want it. Or if there’s a bathroom, you may want to leave a message in the stall in magic marker being honest with your emotions. Be creative. The manager is a jerk and a dope and was completely out of line. He was totally disrespectful. But under no circumstances let this slide. You have to take action.
