plus Waitrose asked my daughter for ID showing she was over 18 before serving her with a cup of (obviously non-alcoholic) coffee!

 

The world has gone....mad (nearly swore then)

 

Supermarkets also make mistakes with online shopping

Cashier asked her colleague when I tried to buy more than one packet of Jakemans throat sweets last week

 

next it will be: ask horses for ID before they start crunching on overripe apples...

 

I once got ID'd by a 16 year for a packet of Rizla. I was carrying a two year old in one arm and a £50 toaster in the other arm. No common sense sometimes!

 

To be honest that's a fairly easy mistake if you've never had Jakemans throat sweets and your assuming by looking at the packaging that it's a medicine then it could potentially contain Paracetamol which you can only buy three packs of in one transaction.

I would of ID'd you as well asking for ID is non optional in stores which have repeatedly failed mandatory council checks and many stores now operate think 25 policies, to be fair you do look fairly young in your profile picture.

I've worked in a bookmakers part time for a number of years now and the amount of times I've asked for ID from someone and they've said "But I've got a kid" or a Tattoo etc. Is ridiculous at the end of the day I'd rather inconvenience a customer by telling them how young they look than potentially risking my job or a fine.

Maximum penalty for a staff member selling alcohol to anyone under 18 is £5,000 and anyone under 16 £500 just for liqueur chocolates! in a bookmakers you've broken the law as soon as you cross the threshold and I've lost count at the amount of times I've had to tell people to get out when they bring their kid or baby in just the other month I read a memo from management discussing an incident in another region where a plain clothes police officer took two under 18's into a bookmakers (both under 18's made no attempt to gamble and were I believe 16 & 17 respectively) the police officer placed a bet and then left the shop a short while later he came back and formally cautioned the member of stuff at the till because they had broken the law by not asking to see the ID of the two teenagers. So you see it's a fear of being fined or entrapped in incidents like that which cause stuff members to ask you for ID even though you could quite clearly be in your mid 30's ( not saying you are by any means...)

Sorry for the rant but it does get my goat.

 

No ID, no Baby Bio http://swns.com/news/gardener-38-asked-for-id-to-buy-plant-food-4474/

This sort of nonsense has been going on for years.

 

Wish someone would ask me for ID

 

Well, I've never been asked for id as I'm an ugly mut and look alot older an i am

 

I was asked for ID last year in the Dunelm Mill shop in Bury St Edmunds! I was 37 at the time!!! I was buying a three pack of scissors! Quite clearly I'm not under 21, but I was thrilled to be asked!
I've also been asked for ID in M&S, I was buying a few bottles of wine, the girl on the check out was very young & probably new so I guess she was just trying to do her job!
I don't know why Ive been asked I don't look like I'm under 21!

 

Woman I used to work with filled the kettle with my Baby Bio solution, didn't do her any harm.

 

Mephedrone tea breaks?
