Richey Edwards Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I was buying some bottles of wine for my dad's birthday and got ID'd. I have just turned 34. I should take it as a compliment I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Our 2 lads went to buy a couple of cans so that they could watch a Scotland match on TV with a little anaesthetic. The younger one was IDd. (He is 28). Fortunately he had ID with him. Unfortunately his older brother, who was 32 at the time, didn't have ID on him, so the staff refused to serve either of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Barbers must be rubbing their hands in delight at the news that Oasis* have reformed for some gigs next year. They'll be inundated with countless goons asking for the shockingly shite haircut one of them has (the, somehow, less worse version of the genuinely disgusting Paul Weller effort). *Rather overrated. Plenty of good tunes but then far too many meh or even pish ones. Not as overrated as The Stone Roses mind, who had a single good album. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to buy drink shortly after I turned 18 and when I got to the checkout the woman said “All good son, I’ve seen your ID before” It was the first time I’d ever bought alcohol from the shop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the shop assistant had got a doing recently for serving someone who was underage. They deliberately send someone in who looks older than they are to catch out staff, which obviously annoys the staff so they take it out on customers for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Saw this earlier, Facebook posts from parents whose children are starting University or college in the US. "oh no, my flat mate wants loads of girls to come back, better phone my mum". Strap on a pair you little p***k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adelaide Hills resident locked out of his 'last resort' bunker as bushfire season looms I've always had a fear that if I was in a bunker like that for a fire or hurricane, that the 'door' would get blocked, and I'd be unable to get out and not be found. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't 'take it out on the customer', they become ultra cautious because they can be fined and fired if they get caught again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked using my phone as a phone and the iPod for listening to music. Unfortunately the harddrive packed in and they don't make iPods anymore so I started using Spotify. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a couple of students fall foul of this, They (rightly IMO) asked the cashier that if it was the policy that all people in a group buying alcohol needed to show ID, why she had only ID'd the middle-aged woman in the group in front of them, and not the teenage girls who were carrying the shopping containing multiple bottles of wine and a case of Smirnoff Ice. They had not received a satisfactory answer, and the manager had been sent for, by the time I left the shop 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Belt Caley Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 My brother in law used to work in a pub and his colleague failed a test purchase. His colleague knew the person that had come into the pub and that they were above the legal age to buy alcohol. The reason for failing was it’s not enough to know the person or something along those lines 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
