Apparently I dont look anything like my drivers license, but strangely they are the only ones to think this! Which obviously means it isnt my license and so I cant be allowed them in.

Show them a wallet full of cards with the same name on and I get accused of stealing the wallet. Show them a student ID from local uni with my name AND photo from a few months ago, and its a fake!! Show them a staff pass (name and recent photo) from a BIG local company (Football club) with hologramme and such what and this is also a fake!

You can sue/complain against this as its wrong.

Of course alot of this depends on what you dress/act like. Do you act young/imature do you dress like a yob/hoodie/chav?..... If so thats your problem.

I first went to a club at 16 and Iv only been asked for ID once and that was due to a blanket "check everyone" policy staff had on the door that night. Its wrong but people will treat you differently depending on what you wear, look like and act like.

Its not wrong if people treat you differently depending on how you act-its right!

It varies, sometimes Im wearing jeans t shirt (quite casual), or somtimes Im actually dressed to go out.

And no Im not a chav. Im more into my quicksilver / animal / bench.

I guess I stand out as Im normally with people in their late 20's / early 30's (boyfriend is 36). Its not the IDing as Im fine with this! Its the being accused of stealing / lying that Im against!

....reminds me when i went to a chain type place ..said they couldnt make me a cup of coffee,or tea because the hot water heater had broken down... (er instant coffee..microwave?),they sent me some vouchers when i wrote in to complain(lots of other things went wrong) but I chose not to go there again..

u complained via letter coz they had NO hot drinks???????

lord jesus. people expect these fast food and pub places to have everything under the sun right there and then. they arent allowed to run out of stock like EVER. machinery isnt allowed to break down like EVER.

yea like peoples home dont have the oven, microwave, boiler, kettle break down once in a while...

people complain way too much these days.... all to the point where people receivin vouchers for a warm pint... oh yea lets not forget bars/pubs cant have the cooling system fail, like ever...

Our local weatherspoons is fine, really nice place. Its just the staff on the door

Im 20 and get Id'd about 25% of the time I go out. Not a problem! Show them my driving license and everyones happy. Or so youd think...

I have never been there and not spent 10 minutes at least arguing with the staff. Unfortunately due to its location its the perfect meeting place, hence why we use it so much. Such a shame though, as its really nice inside and the bar staff are great!

No wait thats a lie, I had no problems getting in when I was 15. Lol

do u look like ur picture or not?

the loos are a disgrace, even after a 'refit'..

the staff keep changing (and there are never enough so you wait for ages to get served..)

the kitchen seems to run on its own time zone, despite the menu's saying open til 11pm (yeh, right!)

AND stocks seem very low- even with a massive Tesco's nearby- they quote some tosh about needing secure lines of goods / health and safety, and not being able to guarantee quality of 3rd party foods?

and as for the smokers huddling outside, right by the doors, then huffin and puffin when you ask them to get outta the way..

?!?:mad:

The smoking problem is happening at my local one also. The smoking ban should have included a zone of a few metre's around exits.
