BoneDog Posted 2 February 2009 Posted 2 February 2009 When I was about 28 or 29 I went to Metro to buy a 4 pack of Cherry B and a 4 pack of Snowball. At counter the woman said "Are you 18?". I said "Yes, I'm nearly pissin 30 love."
Trumpet Posted 2 February 2009 Posted 2 February 2009 I just wish the ID'ers would ask for ID before you ask for the booze / cigarettes. They normally always take the ID then say "Sorry what was that you wanted?" I have never been ID'd in a shop. They don't ID you for sweets
AmericanScott Posted 2 February 2009 Posted 2 February 2009 You have to look 30 now!? I was always told to ID anyone wo looked under 25. Never did. Only ID'd those who looked young. Where is there a McColls in Blaby anyway? I can't think of where it might be. Just go Bargain Booze. Cheaper and no hassle of ID.

I'm not sure the name of the road it's either Western Drive or The Southway. If you go past Somerfields petrol station (from Blaby centre) it's the next turning on your left.
the_bowman Posted 2 February 2009 Posted 2 February 2009 Same for me and I'm 25, Mainly in Co-Op stores for some reason. I work at Somerfield and our policy is if you look under 25 you have to provide ID to prove you're over 18. I think quite a few places do it now "Challenge 25", but 30 really is ridiculous
The Reverend Posted 2 February 2009 Posted 2 February 2009 My life is now complete.Used to combine the Freddo with the Taz chocolate of the same variety, the only difference being the caramel centre. Freddos for main. Taz for pudding. 'Brown for first course, white for pudding, brown's savoury, white's the treat. Of course I'm the one whose laughing as I actually love brown toast'
Lillehamring Posted 2 February 2009 Posted 2 February 2009 Having worked in retail all my life I've a fair bit of sympathy for both yourself and the people in McColls.You get ridiculously grilled if you get caught serving someone under age, I mean really properly battered. Having met fox123 I can't say I'd personally ID him but then I wouldn't have thought he was 30 odd either. These "Challenge" schemes are a bit of a farce, I admit, but at least they're usually well enough advertised that the customer and the shopkeeper both know where they stand. End of the day, most people have usually got some sort of ID on 'em anyway. Not hard to keep something on yourself just in case. But then I'm 22 and look about 12, so I always do. our bank cards have DOB and a photo on them, how simple is that....
cisono Posted 2 February 2009 Posted 2 February 2009 I often get ID'ed when I buy cigarettes and I'm 24.I look my age at the very least so I always find it a mystery that they think I can possibly be under 21. Easy to say for you. Basically, it is easy to gauge other people's ages when they are about as old as you. Harder to correctly guess the age of someone not close to your age. For instance, at the other end of the scale, at some Italian wedding, over two days, this auntie spent lots of time with us (the young bunch). She was dancing, enthusiastic and full of energy. We all thought she was a fit 55-year-old, 60 tops. Turns out, she was 83!
C-man Posted 2 February 2009 Posted 2 February 2009 My cousin got ID'd at Morrisons when she was 36, and she didn't have any, so she presented her 18 year old son as a form of I.D.
cisono Posted 2 February 2009 Posted 2 February 2009 My cousin got ID'd at Morrisons when she was 36, and she didn't have any, so she presented her 18 year old son as a form of I.D. was her "indirect" way of proving her age accepted?
Alexikokopops Posted 2 February 2009 Posted 2 February 2009 'Brown for first course, white for pudding, brown's savoury, white's the treat. Of course I'm the one whose laughing as I actually love brown toast' Yes Reverend! I love Corrigan.
C-man Posted 2 February 2009 Posted 2 February 2009 was her "indirect" way of proving her age accepted? Eventually, yes!
