tesco home delivary over 18?

shellnapier

ok so heres what am saying
Ordered my shopping last nite, just food no alchol or anything else etc
to eb del today between 11-1.
it came whilst i was working at my parnter graeme 22, was at home with my littel girl 2, and he got it, now he was ID

they guy siad, r u over 18, he said yes im 22, n showd him his driving lience, thne guy said ok, gav him shopping ...fine

2 points..

a) why ID for no alchol?
b) what if we had both been 17, and had our little girl livng in our house, would they hae refused shopping?

A) Because there T&C's read that they will only delivery if signed for by an adult regardless of whats delivered. Pretty common really

Yes as above

Asda are the same, in fact at the checkout it says "Please note an adukt over the age of 18 must sign for this delivery".

Maybe it is to stop children (teenagers) ordering stuff from Tesco etc online and using mum or dads card to pay for it ?
I suppose it might be a bit unfair on under 18's but then it is a sensible policy to have I think.

shellnapier

yeah it is maybe sensible etc i understand but its teh 21st centuray and i just think...beucase i got pregant so young etc, if had moved into my own house with when pregnant i woudlnt have been alowed to had tesco online shopping?nody needs ot be 18 to have a switchcard

as previous poster said kids could be using mums card, it has to be delivered to an adult, that is one of the terms and conditions when you place an order, if the driver asked op oh for id he clearly thought he was under 18. i would take that as a compliment!!

It is common throughout most deliveries we have had, not just grocery deliveries. If a delivery needs to be signed for, then it has to be an adult who signs for it. I think (not know) that this might be due to contract law.

It is just the British legal system all out of synch (and therefore companies follow 'out of synch' rules)

I can have sex, get married (with my parents permission) and leave school at 16. But I cannot buy alcohol till I am 18. I can drink it though, just not allowed to buy it myself.

I can drive a motorbike at 16, where I am more likely to kill myself. But have to wait another year to drive a car. I could have driven a Robin Reliant at 16 (but my parents would not let me have one)

I had to do 'legal ages' as part of my Youth Work course and boy is was confusing (and stupid - not the course, the legal age limits)

The government needs to standardise the whole thing.
