Hank Scorpio Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Last night in Morrison's, my mate was buying 20 cans of Strongbow and 24 cans of Carling for his party tomorrow night, and I was helping him carry them to the till. He's only 18, so he whaps out his Driver's License for his ID. Cue the lassie behind the till asking me for ID aswell. I was absolutely baffled by this, and when I asked why I needed ID for him to buy it, she claimed that he MIGHT be buying it for me. What an absolutely crock of shit. The point I made to her supervisor, when she eventually came over, was that what if a lad of 15 or 16 is in with his Dad, and his Dad wants to buy beer, is that not allowed cause he also MIGHT be buying it for his son? We went straight up to ASDA, bought exactly the same for £3 more, no questions asked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 The orange walk just passed my house on Glasgow Green and woke me up. Aww dear, they've turned round and passed again. Is there a point to the walk or is it just rambling? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbl Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 How stupid. They do have trolly's in the supermarlets,you know. But we are men! If we just want beer, we walk into shop, grab crates of beer, walk to checkout,put beer down. All in a manly way. We've all done it at some point. Of course, if something else interesting catches your eye, then you have a struggle, but that doesn't matter, for we are men! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done this gig in a former life and she is technically right and one could commend her for her vigilance in under age enforcement.......but, she probably doesn't like your face. It does beg the question though -if he was buying it for you why on earth would you accompany him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) She was quite correct to do that, you do realise that? No, i don't. It's no me buying it. Surely if i wanted him to get me drink, i'd have sat in the car? Edited March 14, 2009 by MonTheRovers!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy4life Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Won a competition about 4years ago to get 12months free Setanta. Had it free ever since but as i went to watch the Edinburgh derby earlier today the free Setanta is now gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearealldoomed Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 The Morrison's story reminds me of a wee incident in the Tuttie's Neuk at Gayfield a few years back. Having been refused service on accound of being shitfaced, I truned round, informed my mate of the situation then handed him money to buy the round. My mate then ordered two pints from the very same barmaid, who saw right though our cunning plan and refused to serve him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would rather struggle with the beer than put them into a trolly or a basket....Whatever floats your boat. They were on offer, so they were right in front of the checkout. There were two of you. You work it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 The good quality, proper Indian restaurant/takeaway in Dalgety Bay has shut down, while the shitey kebabhouse is still carrying on pushing out shite food to drunk folk, paying its illegal workers a pittance. There's just no justice. Not that I'm going to stop going mad in the other one when I'm pished. Mmm Munchybox! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squiggles92 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I don't rate the c**t enough to see him off as important, but Alan Hansen has a thing for getting on my tits. As does Mark Lawerenson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
