. I have no other form of ID and it is not my fault :mad: !' It does make me angy that people think you should have another form of ID other than your passport!
It would be even worse if that was the only form of ID that they would take :mad: .

Have you considered getting a citizen card?

They won't be getting my custom anymore, that's for sure. Stupid policy and miserable staff. My fianc! didn't even HAVE a passport til last month, and not everyone has one.

I don't think it is a company policy, I think it's just a stupid cashier! I bought a bottle of wine from Iceland this morning, got ID'd and they accepted my drivers licence x

Look at it positively.

And let's hope they refused to sell her a chicken in case she choked on the bones, or withheld her sweets in case she got tooth rot, or told her she couldn't have a bag of frozen chips because she'd get heart disease and told her to forget the matches in case she lit a smoke and got lung cancer. What a stupid comment! It's not up to a store to decide whether or not someone is going to drink and drive, only to check whether s/he is old enough to buy alcohol, which a full driving licence should have sufficed to prove.

I haven't got a driving licence or a passport, but just got a homebrew kit from wilko's, get a wine one next.

Did you see this one ?

"Staff at a Tesco store in Flitwick, Bedfordshire refused to sell a female customer a bottle of barbeque sauce because it contained a small amount of alcohol and she couldn’t prove her age.

25-year-old Claire Birchell was informed that she could not buy Jack Daniel’s barbeque sauce without ID as it has an alcohol content of 2 per cent. Her brother-in-law Philip Dover was then also refused purchase as, although he had ID, the staff believed he would give the BBQ bottle to his companion.

Ms Birchell was visiting her parents in Flitwick and wanted to buy the sauce because shops near her home in Liverpool didn't stock it."

Well dangeroussports, it was for after my shower when I was in my jammies last night, so there's no way I would have been driving.

Is it worth contacting Iceland's head office and asking what their official policy is regarding IDs?

The home brew kit was £20 in wilkos.

The exact same thing happened to my then 20 YO DD a few weeks ago she was hopping mad...it's taking things a bit too far you would need about 500 bottes to get an effect.:rotfl:
