I will go on better, as I went to the Wetherspoons in Birmingham airport recently and I went up and asked for a Club panini with chips only to be asked for ID.

They were worried you were going to use the club panini as a weapon.

She didn't do that, she asked to prove his age and used no discretion which I assume she would still be allowed to use.

If you are talking about the person in the OP then he was asked to 'confirm' -

The grandfather-of-three said he had refused to confirm he was over 21 as it was a "stupid question."

Not quite as daft as that but still mad - I was once behind a man accompanied by his kid who was probably about 14-15. One of the items he was buying was a game with an 18 rating on it. The jobsworth woman at the checkout questioned whether the game was for the kid to which the man just questioned her "why?". She then started on about how it was an 18 rating and the child was obviously younger than this. The man looked genuinely puzzled as he commented "but I'm buying it, not him". She did then relent and put it through but had a look of disdain all over her face - like it's any bloody business of hers whether he's buying it for the kid or not. If the child hadn't been there it wouldn't have been an issue.

I was in an oneils with a friend and we had two pints and a meal each. I then went up to ask for two draft cokes ans was ID'd. We had been in the pub for about an hour drinking beforehand :/
