Double the legal age and I get IDd. Walk away leaving a conveyor belt of items for them to put back. I am clearly not under 18 and trying to buy alcohol illegally. Ā£&@&Ā£&@&Ā£ šš¤¬š” What makes it worse is ENERGY DRINKS. A year ago you could sell them to children. Now youāre asking people double the legal age for ID. Fucking ridiculous.Ā Oh no, know whatās even worse than that? ALCOHOL FREE BEER! Itās got fuck all alcohol in it but you still want ID. Fuck off.
Maybe you should take it as a compliment on your youthful looks?
The check-out operator is only complying with the law and avoiding a Ā£90 fine and the risk of their store being prosecuted and losing their license.Ā
I was 27, many, many decades ago, and got asked for ID in a bar when out with a friend. I had no ID, and the lad wouldn't take no for an answer so we had to go elsewhere. I laughed about it, and told him I was well into my twenties, but fair enough - rules is rules.Ā @Hostafan1 is right.Ā I like your little Lego arrangement @wild edgesalthough I can see all sorts of new scenarios arising when you've had a night on the weevils....

Ony ever had Duplo for Possum.Ā Ā Much bigger pieces and dinosaurs too.Ā She liked it better than any doll.Ā We've kept it all for when children come to visit.Ā It was expensive and indestructible, unlike all the Barbie cr*p.

Until pretty recently @WonkyWomble was regularly asked for ID in supermarkets ... she was nearly 40 ... she took it as a compliment even thoā it was a bit of a hassle as she didnāt have a driving licence until recently. The checkout person was only doing their job and abiding by the law. There would soon be (justifiable) complaints if alcohol etc was sold to under aged persons because the check out person had been intimidated by complaints into not asking for ID.Ā
OH had to refuse to sell a set of expensive kitchen knives to a man because he had told him he wanted them for his grand daughter who was starting at catering college. Very sorry but the law is the law and itās there for a reason ... itās not for anyone to decide which laws apply to them and which donāt ....
Now Iām feeling curmudgeonly š”

My wife was refused alcohol at the supermarket once because the only ID she had on her was her council ID badge and it didn't show her age. It did show she worked for the licencing department though and she'd provided the same supermarket with it's licence to sell alcoholĀ Ā They used to run a lot of stings using under age kids to see if anyone was selling them alcohol though so they were understandably wary in that area.
I don't get the non-alcoholic beer check though. I've asked them a few times why they need to check but no one seems to know.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
And bread with poppy seeds registers as opiate consumption if you happen to be a delivery driver and get tested at a factory gate.Ā At least one chap has lost his HGV license and job because he likes a seeded roll for breakfast!
Grump for me - that old chestnut of doctors' writing.Ā I've just had to check on the net to decipeher the name and address of knee chappy for this pm.
I was curmudegeonly yesterday when in a shop after dropping off fairylet for an appt. A wee boy wandering around - clearly lost. I asked him if he'd lost his mum,he nodded, and I took his hand and said we'll go and find mum. Wandering round the shop, there was a man with a trolley and another small child in it. Boy perked up, and I said is that dad, 'yes', so we walked along to them. Child in trolley saw him, all was fine. Father never even said thank you, fairly obvious when I was walking around holding his child's hand. Mother had appeared - no thanks from her either. They didn't even acknowledge that the child was being 'returned'. He could have been anywhere.Ā Ā At one point, I was fifteen feet from the doors. I'm pretty sure he would have come with me if I'd said 'mum's out there'.Ā What is wrong with people?Ā
