I just got ID'D buying Paper

Joe · 23 Sep 2008 at 13:41

Walked to the co-op on my lunch break

Asked for some Green Rizla (no tobacco, no lighter) just Papers.

Just a sandwich and green rizla...I did say "I'm just buying papers" when asked for ID...

Then he (A kid younger than I) gave me some patronising goof so i didn't respond, gave him ID and was on my way.

It's always after those occasions I think of the mouth full i should have given him, and that makes me sit here frustrated...

With their logic i should be getting ID'd buying a pack of A4? What is happening to this country.

quick, to the internet

Urm, they're used solely for smoking? I'm glad he id'd you.

Get over it and take it as a compliment!

Visit

http://www.rizla.co.uk/

And see what it says? Even Rizla themselves ID you.

It was just a fussy/jobsworth kid, nothing to get annoyed about.

You must be 18 to buy tobacco products, this includes cigarette papers. So the shop assistant was right

lol'd

they are solely used for smoking, so he was right to ID you if you look younger than 18. Like someone else said take it as a compliment.

I work in a shop and you have to ID people for papers, lighters, gas, tobacco, cigarettes and cigars. Annoying but true.

Owned tbh

You must be a drawf, grow some facial hair!

He probably wanted you to react, so he could've refused and make you do as he said, giving him power over you. you didn't react, so I guess you won that encounter.

jackthezipper · 23 Sep 2008 at 13:46

it's the law. You need id for papers, tobacco, lighter fluid, flints etc...

RedTen · 23 Sep 2008 at 13:46

Hey

I think you need to remember that he doesnt make the rules, if he sells you a product that requires ID and you dont give him any then he can get fined on the spot and lose his job.

Its not that difficult to carry a card with your D.O.B on is it?

Although regardless of that if he did it like a prat and thought he was powerful asking for ID then yeah give him a mouthful.

I used to work for the Co Op and the staff hate it just as much as the customers do.

Geez why does everyone seem to think shouting at someone will alleviate a situation? You got asked for ID, you had ID - what's the problem?

jackthezipper · 23 Sep 2008 at 13:47

Do you look 38 though

Frapple · 23 Sep 2008 at 13:47

Stop mooooooooooaning, seriously.

iamdjdz · 23 Sep 2008 at 13:47

Do you look 38? Or do you have '12 year old syndrome'?

nicktay2605 · 23 Sep 2008 at 13:47

Lol wow, I get annoyed still being Id'd for drinks and I'm 21, can't imagine getting Id'd at 38! Harsh.
