sainsburys and their (frankly ludicrous) alcohol serving policy
last night i was in sainsburys with my girlfriend picking up a few bits for the home and a bottle of teachers whiskey for my Pop, as it was on offer.
Went to the checkout and the checkout girl asked for my ID, no probs i thought. Wasn't even offended considering that i'd not shaved for a week and thought i was looking particularly rugged and manly. Gave it to the girl who checked it, all ok.
And then, she asks for my girlfriend's ID...
'She's not buying it, i am' i said.
'sorry,' the checkout girl said, 'i have to see both your IDs'
now my girlfriend is 24, but had left her purse with her ID at home because i was paying for the shopping. So without her ID we couldn't get the whiskey.
WTF!?!?!?!?
Doesn't anyone else think this is utter bullshit, or is it just me?
