At my work the students are supposed to keep their student IDs on them at all times and show them to whom ever is at the entrance when they come through so we know that they are students. Now my boss doesn't seem to really care whether or not we know they are students, he wants us checking every person's ID every time they enter campus no matter what. I've actually been yelled at for not checking the ID of a student who I'd seen coming onto campus about a dozen times a day. Now he's gone so far even as to make us sign a piece of paper outlining these rules and telling us that if we don't follow these procedures we may be fired. So I do my job and ask for ID always.
Now I have a good two dozen or so students whom I see several times daily who sneer at me, throw their hands in the air, roll eyes at me, call me names, cuss, and just about any other way you could think that they might protest just because I ask them to show me their IDs. I tell them every time "You NEED to have your ID and you NEED to show me your ID EVERYTIME you come on campus."
This one girl in particular used to come up here in her car and stop at the gate and just sit there staring forward like I did't exist waiting for the arm to go up. After a few seconds she would sigh dramatically, heft up her purse dramatically, search for a good minute or two for her ID, then practically throw it at the window of her car. The was the routine every single time I saw her. One day after weeks of this she finally realized what a good 95% of the rest of the students here had already realized. If she simply kept her ID handy and showed it to me as she drove up she could drive right through without even having to come to a complete stop! Ofcourse she also decided that she must never look me in the face and always look annoyed at the fact that she was suffering such an indignity. Another one has decided that it's all out war and goes to what ever length possible to never have to show her ID and has flipped me off and called me an idiot I don't know how many times now.
So has anyone else ever had a job where people treated you like some insufferable miscreant for the most paltry of reasons?
