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

I refuse to carry my passport on me as well apart for really needed things. Unfortunatly it is my only form of ID . This means I usually have to get my fianc! to buy vodka or southern comfort for me. I'm 19 as well and do not usually get asked for ID but when I do get ID'd I feel like saying to them 'you are a 2 mile walk from my house and I am not risking my parsport on that for a bottle. 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: .

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:

If you drank enough of the BBQ sauce for it to have an alcoholic effect, just imagine the effect it would have on your digestive tract !!!!! :eek:

I had that when the age was 16 for smoking related things, as I was buying a lighter in a petrol station. The fact I had driven my car in and was buying petrol, and she had rung that up didnt seem to register as a problem.

When I asked if she thought I was under 16, and if so why was she selling me petrol she went very red and served me. Lol.

I didn't pay for my provisional licence. Has this changed now?

perhaps OP should ask iceland (or other overly officious stores )for their staff records, to prove all paid minimum wage or above, and that they even have right to work/live in UK..

watching the Primark scandal show last week make you wonder how they get prives so low..

dont forget some fruit cake has traces in. what about vinegar isn't that alcoholic too. It keeps me amused whenever i buy stuff from wilkensons what is classed as a knife and what isn't in the diy section. Normally you could do a lot more damage wiht stuff that isn't classed a knife than the stuff that is.

Does anyone remember gripe water? This was the stuff given to babies to calm them down. It turned out that it contained alcohol - hence the babies going to sleep! There was a reported case of a woman who became an alcoholic by drinking several bottles of this stuff everyday.
