I have a tale about renting from Hertz called "The Five Rental Cars." Long story short: 2 week rental. 1st car had a registration expiring in 3 days. 2nd car's hatch wouldn't unlock (I had "how to unlock a car" explained to me 15 times before they admitted it was broken & replaced the car). 3rd car's alarm went off and wouldn't stop. 4th car's check engine light came on & they tried to tell me to ignore it. Fifth car got me home again. Every person I dealt with was nearly impossible. Never rent from Hertz.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I was born in Guam. You would be amazed at how many people ask me if it was hard to get a green card/citizenship. When I was applying for financial aid for college I had someone assisting me. She saw that I put Guam down for where I was born and kept insisting that I needed additional documents since I wasn't born in the U.S. Eventually we were able to contact someone else who explained that Guam was part of the U.S. and should be treated exactly the same as if I had been born in Puerto Rico. Ultimately it shouldn't have mattered, even if I was born in a foreign country, as both parents were American and I was born on a U.S. military base. On the other hand, when we first came to the states my mother got pulled over for speeding. The police officer was so confused by her Guam drivers license that he just let her go after 10 minutes of not being able to figure it out. So it came in handy for her at least once.

I remember a story back when the Olympics were in Salt Lake City about a person from New Mexico who called about getting tickets to attend events and was told they needed to contact their own country for that.

I know a guy who tried to get a document in Indiana once. Clerk told a client in front of him New Mexico was not a U.S. state, but a foreign country. My friend tried to help him by explaining it was. Clerk made it clear he could whistle for his paperwork until he agreed with her it was not. Kept him there a good long time 🤦♂️

I don't blame Hertz and I don't blame the employee or the cop. We have a failing education system that local/state/federal governments don't do anything to fix.

Reminds me of the man from New Mexico who tried purchasing tickets to the Olympics held in Atlanta, and the clerk told him she couldn't sell them to him because she "couldn't sell to someone who lives outside the United States" (you read that right), and even argued that being in _New_ Mexico didn't make a difference. He asked for the manager and the manager _agreed_ and maintained that New Mexico wasn't part of the US, and that the man needed contact the Mexican Olympic Committee.

As a Puerto Rican visiting the mainland frequently, I get that a lot. For instance, in banks, they ask about my Visa. Usually after explaining, they get it and apologize. What I will never do is show my P.R. Id AND pay with a $2 bill!

I read a story about a guy who tried to use a $2 bill at a store. Young clerk refused it and said it was fake. Young manager was called. He too said it was fake. Police were called and luckily that officer was an older man who then had to explain to these kids that the bill was indeed real.

I'm going to be honest here: we have people in Congress that don't (or didn't) know this either, so I'm not going to hold someone from Hertz to a higher standard.
