A Cop asked for my ID outside of a bookstore.


Unfriggin believable.

I hate Borders even more now.


On a trip to Borders Bookstore with my sister I dropped her off at the door while I found a place to park.

I saw her outside the door so I enquired about why she wasn't inside and she said the cop told her she couldn't go in so I thought what is this place getting robbed ?

So I walk in and sure enough a police officer stops me and asks for my age and ID.

(Which makes him one dumb Cop considering how many 6'8" 15 year olds are around)

I show him it and ask him what is up.

He says the new store policy is that on Friday and Saturday nights a person under 16 cannot enter without an adult guardian.

At this point I am wondering what could possibly be so offensive inside of the Borders. I mean psuedo-intellectuals should offend everyone but they are in Borders all the time. What is so special about Friday and Saturday nights ?

For that matter why is there an officer of the law at the door ?

Are they so cheap they cannot get a security guard ?

I mean with all the murders, rapes, and drug deals going on that night they had to put a cop at the entrance of a Borders to protect holier-than-thou faux intellectuals from adolescents.
