I was with my kids, but it pissed me off, so I said to the clerk, "Can't you call for verification?" and she said, 'it takes forever.' and I said, 'we're not in a hurry if you're not.' and the lady smiled at me. Then, I said, "I'm sure the check is good, I'll cover it if it isn't." and the manager came up and did something and suddenly the lady was done and on her way.

That my friend was very classy, This should be a lesson to us on how to treat our fellow man(or woman) this holiday season. I'd buy you a beer if I lived on the Left Coast my good Doctor Bent... MB
