now i will be the first to admit that i don't look over 21, but i was buying cola...in a glass bottle. cola. as in...cola...
wat?
also i had a burger king six pack today. it was astonishing. the one with only cheese was ridiculously dry but the other two types were a joy from start to finish. point of discussion: there isn't really one. i'm going to watch ghostbusters now. thanks for your time guys.
My time costs $3.50
i'm sending a cheque your way big guy
I will cash said Cheque.
I welcome all charity.
The Six pack is shit
people are BUYING into the bloody gimmick which is essentialy a drier then normal burger king burger without the succulence or satisfaction of a DBL WHPPER WTH CHSE or XL DBL BCN CHSE BRGER
man, i disagree
it is great! also mini burgers are fantastic.
i can't believe this thread bombed. if only i was galacticeruption guy. sigh, if only!!
It hasn't bombed yet!
I for one am keen to hear more opinions on the six burger ting. And that's not a joke.
The cola thing's crazy, i don't know how to comment on it.
:')
my girlfriend reckoned the six pack from burger king looked cute. she didn't eat them cos she's one of them vegetarians you hear about on the news.
my advice is to try it soon cos there's a buy one get one free voucher online and to ask for ketchup as it can get a bit dry. they are good though.
Thank you
I may investigate this, but will investigate a half-price yo sushi offer in reading first.
The ketchup tip sounds like good advice. I tend not to like adding things like ketchup and mayonnaise, because it just seems to be adding to the unhealthiness, but sometimes it really is just a necessity.
you live in reading?
its poo isnt it :(
Yes, yes it is
I just found out today that the Yo Sushi offer doesn't apply in Reading. Unbelievable.
On the upside, me and some mates are playing at the 3Bs on Wednesday 9th July - please feel free to come! (i realise that this might not turn out to be such an upside...)
ha!
what sort of music?
Um
www.doubledotdash.org ?
If you click on the music circle then you can look at different people.
I'll be starting things off with a brand new, one man show (please read as overambitious and under-rehearsed).
Ebbsandflows will be going next so he can get back to london in time (noisy, loopy electronic stuff i'd expect).
And Boredoms in the Bathroom will close proceedings with the excitement of guitars AND some real drums.
The last event we did emptied the pub of all but the hardcore that just sat near the bar and drank. I'm really not a salesman am i?
^they were the most disapointing thing that has ever happened to me
i got asked for ID as well this morning.
and the woman was really rude. actually pretty much everyone has been rude today. wassup with people these days?
I once got refused Rizlas
lol
someone i know got IDed for buying a spoon once. Deadly weapons!!!
i actually abandoned reply then.
go on, write funny stuff
involving spoons. i'm bored!
i've stopped getting id'ed :-(
gone are the days when you can just whip out your drivers license, give a wry smile and say 'i'll take that as a compliment.'* you're lucky.
*this never happened.
I still get it on a regular basis.
me too
i imagine this will continue for a long time
plus,
i think waitrose do this thing whereby the person who sells people stuff underage gets fucked over, rather than the company itself - or you got a big fine oor something.
i'm sure this is real, or they used to tell all the old dears on the checkout this at the branch i worked at 4 years ago, just to shit them up abit.
that "thing" aint just Waitrose
I think it's the law. I used to work in Borders and they adopted the same policy
fair enough
if i was buying 4 litres of vodka or something, but a 250ml glass bottle of cola? man, i should have smashed it on the counter and done her some real damage, serious.
I got asked for ID
in Sainsbury's...for a newspaper. Apparantly you have to be 16. I told her I was 18 and she was being ridiculous.
And last time I was ID'd in Sainsbury's, the woman didn't want to believe my passport because "...I have an 8 year old daughter who's nearly your height."
My Bro was born in Hong Kong
and people think his ID is fake because he doesn't look "ethnic" enough. fucking dimwits
should have called her a sizist
haha
what newspaper do you have to be 16 years old to be? daily sport or something?
you should have asked what she feeds her daughter. sounds like she's on to a winner.
haha, never thought of that!
no I was buying the Express or The Mail for my dad...was a little bit annoyed, the way she just presumed I was under 16!
What a fuck wit.
You should have kicked her in the box and left.
I find the newspaper thing hard to believe. I would have demanded to see the manager regardless of if I had ID with me.
they probably just fancied you
and was desperate for an excuse to keep you around for even just a few moments longer.
One of the many tescos near my uni flat has a 'think 30'
rather than 'think 21' scheme.
My friend works there and has to deal with a lot of angry people in their late 20s, and a lot of happy people over 30.
ah ha!
i've been id'd several times recently.
annoyingly, i think it's them being cautious, rather than me actually looking ten years younger
you probably have the same problem as me
as in short = young.
you do have quite a young looking face though, looking at your pictures i'd have said you were around 20.
thanks!
yes, the short thing doesn't help. but neither does the 'you'll appreciate it later!' jokes. no, i won't. i just need some cigarettes and booze right now!
even though we probably will appreciate it later ;)
my mum got stopped for underaged driving at 33, she was annoyed then, but now she's 50 and still looks mid 30's. Which isn't bad at all :D
did you actually show her/him ID?
i wouldn't know how to react to that!
i got id'd buying a lighter the other day, i don;t even smoke i just wanted something to light the hob :(
i was like
"errr...what? it's cola..."
and she replied with "yeah, but, you know"
and there were lots of people behind us in the queue all looking at me like it was ME who was the moron so i gave her my ID and repeated "it's...COLA" and then paid her. she looked pretty embarassed, it must be said, but i have no idea what she thought it was.
how weird!
it's not like it looks like alcohol or anything. Maybe she's overly concerned about the adverse effects of caffeine.
I went to a gig last week
They ID'd me and I had none. I couldn't get an 18+ stamp and wasn't allowed to buy beer. I'm 29 :'(
On a related note,
I usually get in places with my ID.
My ID says I'm 17.
I still get in!Ah bouncers
This happened
to me went I went to see Idlewild at the roadmender very annoying!
Maybe
it's the fear that the glass bottle can be used as an offensive weapon. I'm pretty sure you can't sell the glass bottle cola to those under 16. Not that I'm assuming you look under 16.
but
i've got stupidly long hair and an innocent face. i've never used a bottle as a weapon and never intend to :(
I got ID'd
in ASDA a few weeks ago, the thing I couldn't understand was I was buying London Pride for my dad, Erdinger or me and a decent bottle of wine for my mum! What kid is going to drink that in the park!!!!!
