    I wasn't sure tbh. But ended up being internal (thank goodness) i was given an record of improvement, asked if there was any reason I hadn't asked, I said to me they looked old enough, otherwise I would have asked! I had to do my challenge 25 test, and now apparently every thing is back to normal, thou not sure if I have moved department. Still glad I have a job, that's the main thing! Thank you for all your replies!


    If you failed a lottery test purchase then I would be concerned how you handle alcohol sales.

    Sounds like its all ok but use it as a learning curve, if unsure on the age of the purchaser then ask for ID.

    Exactly - which means OP would likely to have sold alcohol to a 16 year old.

    To be fair, it's 16 for the lottery (18 for booze) so I can see how OP was caught out.

    I'd be tempted to cover my six by asking for ID from everyone buying age restricted goods.

    That sounds like one of my hangovers:p

    But seriously, is there nothing you can do to help yourself deal with stress a bit better? I mean, you made a little mistake, the company dealt with you fairly, but in the intervening 3 days you are imagining employment Armageddon, and probably affecting your health over it. There has to be a better way...

    Yes. Assure your boss that you will never make this mistake again, because you will always ask for ID from everyone buying age restricted goods. That will give you both peace of mind.

    Easier said than done, ever dealt with an angry 50 year old buying wine for sunday dinner and you refuse to serve her without ID...
