This public service announcement is brought to you courtesy of all law students, people who are stressed, and heck just about any person who is normal...
When you are verifying a person's identity for a purchase and ask to see their drivers license, it is not appropriate to do a double take and then say..."You look much happier in your picture."
There could be a number of reasons why the person looks happier in the drivers license picture, for example...
1. It could have been a nice July day in Fresno close to that persons birthday and all they had on their mind was hanging out with their family.
2. Now that person could be hundreds of miles away from that family and have just spent 8 plus hours on a Saturday at the library reading Constitutional Law and not having a clue what it means.
3. That person might be having to show their drivers license because their credit card number somehow has been hijacked and their account is frozen pending an investigation into $105 being charged at a Walmart in Texas.
4. That person just wasn't in the mood to smile, or was thinking about all the things on her to do list.
5. Heck, Insert anything here, it is just not a good idea to EVER say this!
Thank you again on behalf of all normal/stressed/emotionally unstable people of the world.
My name is Melissa...and I support this message.
