I'm not saying you, but a lot of young people.

The training video was hilarious.

This is mental. We do our shopping there every week. I was with my friend who is a teacher, We got a few bottles of Bulmers and a bag of ice. She had ID but myself and my housemate did not.

"Sorry we cant let her buy them for you as we know shes buying them for you now."

Then I decided I still wanted the bag of ice because we could just go to the off licence. She refused to serve me the bag of ice. Eventually she asked her superior if she could sell me it. The superior said yes. I said can you give me it then please? "Fine." She threw it into my hands with such force that the bag split in a corner.

"There's no need for that. For fucks sake.."

DONT USE THAT KIND OF LANGUAGE IN HERE

"SHe just slammed this bag of ice into me. I'm still a customer"

NO SHES JUST DOING HER JOB

I'm going in to make a complaint at the weekend. I dont care so much about the Clallenge 25 thing, its a policy, obviously in place to stop older looking people buying drink for younger looking people. Fair enough. But the legal age to buy alcohol is still 18. Use some discretion here. We all look over 21. We're all 26 for gods sake. Anyway, this 19 year old lass doesnt know how to use the policy yet

WHat i'm going to complain about is the attitude change. Ok. You wont let us buy the alcohol, I'm ok with that, its a bit ridiculous and we'll have a laugh about it on the way back to the car... We're still customers, dont start treating us like shit

CIGARETTES! I know you have to 18 now for them as well, but still. He asked how old I was, I said IM TWENTY FIVE!
he tilted his head to the side to look at each of my cheeks (which are decidedly unshaven at present) and said "OK go on then", like he was doin me a favour! The cashier next to him was pissing himself.

when I was 30. She refused to serve me saying that I needed ID and that I should be flattered! She was right snotty with me.

today in Spar and I haven't haved for well over a week.

What a massive crock of shit. I've got half a mind to start a chain of shops now that openly doesn't ID you if you look vaguely over 18.

You have to be over 21 to buy alcohol after 3pm on a friday or saturday now. The bus company is making a fortune out of people going to offies in neighbouring towns. And there are still hundreds of drunk toddlers lingering around the seafront on weekends. SORT IT OUT.

was an under 30 challenge zone. My friend showed his bald patch to prove his age and they backed down.

into a club last night and didn't have any (driving examiner took my provisional and hasn't sent my full licence yet) and I explained this to them and they let me in. That made me feel like a proper man.

for 8 beers

and the same girl that serves me EVERY time and ID's me EVERY time ID'd me again. she always apologises sheepishly, but it's like she must recognise me! she knows my friend by name, and i go in a shit load with him, and she still does it. really annoying.

Fucks sake, if they're going to start doing that then they just up the drinking age.

This time next year they'll probably be refusing to sell us alcohol if we look under 35, don't have a beard and have driven to the shop to buy it.

It's not fair for a shop worker to have to risk their job on deciding how old somebody looks. Everyone knows supermarkets are strict with ID, and it's just common sense to know that if you're going to one, are in your 20s, and want to buy alcohol, you're going to need to have ID.

Actually, I find your behaviour in this fairly disgusting. So much so that I'm not even going to say that the till worker who threw a bag of ice at you was out of order - if this scenario was anything to go by, you pretty much deserved it.

So don't laugh in the face of people who are doing the job that they're getting paid (basically nothing) to do. Okay, just get over yourself. It's not easy to judge someone's age at all. And it's not worth becoming unemployed to just think "yeah, okay, they're probably old enough". If you have an issue with the store policy, then go write a letter to head office. But don't be a complete ^%&$ to people who are doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing.

not that i've actually had to show them any ID but still.

a slightly embarassed lady in Argos double-checking i was over 18 when i was buying... cutlery.

buying gin & tonic (IN A CAN. AMAZING INVENTION) in tesco, the guy at the counter turning to his female colleague goin "I NEED HELP HERE", her then looking me up and down before asking "you ARE over 18, aren't you?" I am 30. "oh, that's a compliment then!"
yes it is, thnx.

as long as people don't get pissy about it then i don't have a problem.

That'll explain why the bouncer at Wetherspoons in Nottingham wanted proof.

I cannot take any joy: I am 25.

IDing people who look under 25....why? if they are 25, they've been able to buy alcohol legally for 7 years. Is it that likely that there are under 18 year olds out there looking like they're in their mid-20's? I think not. It's just a hassle for people who shouldn't get hassled.
