Yep, totally right, I didn't read the post properly, and I put my hands up to it :) Sorry and all that :)

I still don't think theres quite the need to get as bent out of shape as you did ;)

My points remain, even if I did get the wrong of the stick. Theres been a lot of accusations in here classifying the type of people who work in supermarkets and I disagree with that and have expressed that.

The law and practices of the supermarkets are ridiculous but I still don't see how this correlates to attacking people who work there. Aside from the odd misinterpretation of the rules (which is usually overzealousness caused by failure to understand the law properly), these people are just following the rules of their job, just like anyone else. Everyone makes mistakes, doesn't mean they are the underbelly of society.

Sorry again for the misunderstanding :)

this one time, i went into morrisons and wanted to buy a bottle of whiskey.
i got ID'ed and gave the nice woman my ID. then i paid for my shopping and booze and left. :p

Anyway, asking for ID for an obvious minor is ridiculous and the OP was bang on the money :)
 
Have you noticed how us oldies don't give a stuff about being asked for ID?
Its quite nice actually.
At our Longton Tesco I dropped my belly onto the the counter and told her there was a good 50 years of eating in that.
 
Sounds outrageous to me. Can't understand what the management were thinking.

Also don't they now check if you are 25 for some reason? Not 18 or 21 but 25? :confused:
 
i must admit i laughed my socks off at this... if i were you i'd go down there now and wait for mums and dads to go in with their 1year olds etc and say excuse me mate you can't buy that rofl... told my wife this and she was like wtf
 
I'm curious what sort of ID would a 5 year old actually have?!

or need for that matter. However, I'm sure that this kind of an incident isn't going to happen on a regular basis and so beyond the initial shock or suprise I don't see what the big deal is?
 
The checkout girl was right to refuse to sell the alcoholic drinks to the op because he was with a minor who he may infact be buying the drink for

just the other day I say a group of drunk 5yr olds harrasing people, causing a nuisance and vomiting

we have to draw the line somewhere!

Tbh in that situation I'd have been so annoyed and confused that I would have calmly just left the shopping and gone just as the OP did. I'd have done this for two reasons

1. The clerk on the till is either a bit dim (i doubt dim enough) or just an **** to not realise that the situation is ludicrous and so I'd want to annoy them. (I dont buy it being supermarket policy to ID EVERYone)

2. I'd be annoyed, so it'd make me feel better:)

It is you who is either a bit dim or "an ****", to quote your pointless asterisks. You do not understand the situation, you don't want to understand the situation and you blame the person who has the least control over the situation, because they're available to blame.

What has happened to common sense?

It's far too risky for a low-end employee to use common sense, and they're the people who have to implement policies. Using common sense could get them in trouble. It could cost them their job (and they won't have any savings to tide them over). If you are a low-end employee, you are there to do as you're told, not think for yourself.
