Gas Station Worker Explains Why He Always Cards Cops Buying Tobacco Products In Viral TikTok

Gas Station Worker Explains Why He Always Cards Cops Buying Tobacco Products In Viral TikTok

Most of us don't get very many opportunities in our day to feel truly powerful.

Most of us aren't in positions of authority and there's nothing like being in a position of authority to realize how powerless that authority often is. Moments where one person feels truly powerful are often moments where someone else is left feeling powerless; maybe that's why some people seem to shrink away from it.


But every now and then life does you a solid and gives you a little mundane power bump moment where nobody is having an emergency, nobody is in trouble, nobody has been disempowered - you're just awesomely powerful.

You might properly fold a fitted sheet. You might get a toddler to eat something other than chicken nuggies. You might be the one person someone's super grumpy old cat actually likes.

You might get to look a police officer in the eye and sternly say "I'm gonna need to see some ID."

TikTok user Andrew Bilinsky did. He's been sharing that ultimate power trip with other users, and honestly people are into it.

See, here's the thing - Bilinsky isn't out here harassing officers or anything. He's just doing his job as a gas station employee.

It's a pretty standard part of his day to ask customers for their ID. Sometimes that customer is a police officer - and that's when Andrew leans into the role reversal and has a little fun.

Love his "Cop Voice"

TikTok is enjoying this just as much as Andrew does. Apparently it's one of those "job perks" that should be advertised more.

Andrews role reversal is a game TikTok is clearing having a blast with. What mundane moments of ultimate authority do you get to experience in your life?

Flaunt your power in the comments!

Joshua Jackson Was Just Asked About The 'Best Advice' He Got From His Dad—But There's One Awkward Problem

Jackson has long been open about his difficult non-relationship with his father, John Carter.

Back in 1998, Jackson spoke candidly to The Seattle Times about his parents’ divorce, describing it as a turning point in his childhood.

'Dr. Pimple Popper' Star Reveals She Suffered Stroke While Filming Series: 'I Had A Part Of My Brain That Died'

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Kid Rock Dragged After Offering Massive Discount To His MAGA Festival Due To Abysmal Ticket Sales

Musician Kid Rock has hitched his wagon to president Donald Trump for quite some time now, and it seems he too is in the "find out" stage of that particularly exercise in FAFO.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.
