  • Everyone: I posted this in vents but wanted to post it here too....

    I got IDed, at the age of 23 (nearer 24) for the first time ever today. I was trying to buy one bottle of wine with my weekly shop. Despite the only ID I had on me, an SIA License, proving I'm over 18, and actually over 21 for the one I have, and the shop security guard backing me up, because it doesn't prove I'm over 25 (HELLO, what part of I'm 23 did you not hear?) they refused to sell it to me. So I left my entire weekly shop there too. Ridiculous and I am going to complain about it as it's really, really stupid. Whatever happened to common sense?

    THANK GOD I HAVE LAGER AT HOME!!

    That's annoying, but strangely flattering at the same time.......

    I know it's annoying FE but the policy now in most places is that if you look under 25 you have to prove you are over 18 and have either a passport, driving licence or I can't remember what the name is but another card. I think it's good when shops actually implement it, sorry.
