If the cashier has even the slightest doubt that the product is being bought for someone underage they cannot sell the restricted item. Not a supermarket policy, but actual legislation. This is a scenario trading standers will often portray when testing a shops adherence to age restricted products.0 -

But underage in this instance is 8 years old, the packet states that.
I can't see anywhere where the OP told us the age of the child if they were under 8 I can see the cashiers point of view but if they were 8 or over the cashier was in the wrong or the till should have come up with the correct details ie not to be sold to anyone under 18 who has a child under 8 with them.0 -

No, the packet statesChildren should be at least 8 years of age to use tools.
That's to use, not to purchase. The kit contains a knife, and as such is an age restricted item.0 -

No, I said selling an age restricted product incorrectly because of what GwylimT says above.
You are saying it is OK to sell an age restricted product to someone aged 18 or over who is buying for someone who is hovering around in the background who is underage. But it is OK because the person handing the money over is over age...
Like I say, it is your government who makes up the laws and legislation, so speak your vent at them and not the checkout operator who is only following the law and most importantly on their part, company policy.0 -

Look, have you just ignored the content of the OP's initial post deliberately?
The grandparent was buying the item so they both could carve a pumpkin together.
That obviously entails supervision.
The OP hasn't mentioned whatsoever they were buying the item for any other scenario.
I dare say thousands and thousands of these kits were sold in the last few weeks in similar circumstances.
The staff member was a proper thicko.0 -

It was an adult who trying to purchase the item, they were refused because they had a child with them. If that child was 8 or over there was no reason for the refusal.0 -

Oh God!
The child was not attempting to buy the item, the grandparent was!
And the grandparent and child were to do the carving activity together, so no suggestion the grandparent was just buying it for the child.

Where do you keep getting the "8" from? Even if the child was 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 or 17 they would still have refused - Its an age restricted item. The cashier must have been under the impression the OP was purchasing it for the 8 year old and as such refused the sale.0 -

When you are able to reply like an adult without such rudeness I will engage in debate with you.0
