Just take it as a nice compliment. How urgent can a bottle of wine be?

As long as the under 18 cashier confirms the transaction with an older member of staff then they can sell alcohol. x

i took it as humorous just inconvenient as i wanted to surprise other half later who works at the same place as i do so no other time to buy something in secret.

oh well

I am confused whether to enjoy when that happens or be insulted. I guess it depends on the day. But yet it is funny when an underage member of staff question you.

yeah i got to watch three students already !!!!ed walk out with cider and no id check

annoyed!

now i have to buy this wine in an hour and a half with other half and ruin my surprise or just forget the whole thing for today and bring my council tax bill passport and child with me tomorrow. might even bring the mother in law take the old girl out for a run!

some store have policy to ask everyone regardless of how old you look.

Far older people have had to give their ID. I am talking about 70 year olds.
