I went into the Arco Gas station tonight in Bakersfield CA at store number ARCO42564. I am a 31 year old woman. I was wearing shorts and a crop top because it is almost 100 degrees here. I went into the store and grabbed a handful of item, snacks, drinks, candy. When I went to the register I asked for a pack of cigarettes. The cashier asked for my ID to scan which I gave him, he looked at my ID(I have lost weight, which I am insecure about) looked at me and without scanning my ID he proceeded to throw it back at me across the counter very rudely and said my picture looked to old to be me, I looked younger. Usually this would be a compliment but he refused me service based on his own personal assumptions about me as a woman. Because I was wearing cut off shorts and a crop top I was considered to young. His opinion doesn’t matter I am a paying customer of age and I was completely humiliated by this man in your store. When I asked for the number to corporate he waved me off and told me I could leave now. Never have I ever been treated so rude by an employee even when I was young. This is unacceptable and sexist behavior. As a woman I would never feel comfortable going into that store again.
