Well I guess I should be flattered...

Dh passed his theory test today (well done honey!) so I popped out the the local Asda to buy some alcohol (any excuse in our house) and they wouldn't serve me!! I will be 28 in a few weeks and even tho I do look younger than I am I am very obviously in my 20's but the woman refused me as I had no ID! I asked her to get her supervisor and she wouldn't serve me either, it was really embarrassing!!

Jen you should feel good, that is very complimentary, you young pup

 

[mandymouse]

That's nice Jen (though I would've been miffed to leave without the alcohol )

A tip for all my fellow biddies (that's you Sue and Carol, if you were wondering ). Pay a visit to the Dawa bar at AK. The guy there cards everyone. Great for my flagging ego. Never lets me down.

I would be flattered

I know its annoying!, I work in a shop which adheres to the "Think 21" policy and the abuse we get some of the time due to it, ain't great. You could have been a test purchase, which if the shop fails the person who sold the age related product will be fined £80 and have to go to court & the shop will be fined at least £5000 and lose their licence to trade alcohol.

That's great Jen, I haven't been asked for ID for quite some time now

 

[wilma-bride]

It's been a long time since I looked 21 - so lucky you

 

[Madjock]

Alchol or compliment? alchol or compliment? alchol or compliment? it's a toughie for sure Jen but sadly not a situation I've had to face for a long time

 

[alisonbestford]

I've been asked to confirm that I'm over 21 twice now in my local Morrisons'............ I think the assistants had both come to work without their specs.........

Apparently it's their policy to ask everyone - I even heard one young guy asking an OAP the other afternoon......!

 

[T16GEM]

I went with my Mom to take the dogs to the Kennels and the guy asked why I wasn't in school!!! I am 26 for goodness sake! Me and my mom creased it was so funny!
