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!

Wisconsin Firefighters Go Viral After Rescuing Boy Who Got Stuck Inside Claw Machine—And The Internet Has Questions

There are plenty of childhood rites of passage, like scraped knees, questionable snack choices, and an unwavering belief that the claw machine is winnable. (Hint: it's not.) But one Wisconsin kid took that curiosity a step further, somehow ending up inside the very game designed to relieve him of his allowance.

How he landed in there is a mystery, but he was rescued from the machine almost as soon as firefighters arrived. As crews moved into position, the boy clutched the pile of plush toys around him, peering out through the glass.

Lisa Kudrow Just Sounded Off On The Gross Behind-The-Scenes Treatment Her Female 'Friends' Costars Were Subjected To

Two decades after Friends defined a generation of sitcom television, Lisa Kudrow is pulling back the curtain on what she describes as a “mean” and at times inappropriate behind-the-scenes culture that didn’t treat its female stars equally.

While the NBC hit sold audiences on the easy chemistry of six tight-knit friends, Kudrow talked about a writers’ room dominated by men and shaped by behavior that often crossed the line. In a recent interview with the Times, Kudrow pointed to an overwhelmingly male writers’ room of 12–15 people as a key force shaping that dynamic.
