No, it's no different if its an 18 or a 12. They're both legal restrictions and the poor sod on the till is bound by her employers policy regardless.

 

Come on, there is a difference.

 

Having said that, banging on about training procedures and legislations has made you look a tit.

 

In regards to the PA, it's the automated voice.

 

The one on the trams in Manchester has a lovely voice. But I guess it's not to be. "Sounds nice on the phone, add 5 stone." :(

Not at all.

 

The poor cunt behind the till has to wear shit clothes, a name badge, is paid peanuts and has it drilled into them that if they don't follow procedure they might lose their job, be arrested or lose all their money.

 

If you're asked for ID, deal with it. You've got a far better deal than the person asking you for it.

I don't understand why you've got a massive hard-on on for the staff at Asda its a well paid job. It's a decent job and the pay is good for what you do. After a few weeks staff get an an hourly rate increase for just under 7 quid for just standing behind a till. You may think I'm being a stuck up twat here looking down on minimum wage staff but before my current job I've always been on minimum wage or just slightly over. Until last September I worked at a franchised KFC which was an absolutely horrendous job for minimum wage. The uniform is worse and I can guarantee that you get more shit for working in the fast food sector. I've worked serving alcohol beforehand so know exactly the grief you can get off management about not serving under-age people.

 

Staff use there judgement and opinion to if they think an individual looks bellow 25 so they do use there judgment. So they should stop being absolute clowns with circumstances like this.

 

I've looked on the net and seen some ridiculous cases of a 13 year old being eyes for Fifa 14 which is a 3+ and people in there late 30's being asked for I.D'd for lottery tickets. Looking more into the subject it appears that Asda are trying to do one up from the National Average of Supermarkets passing I.D inspections which is around 83% and Asda are at 94%. There's various reports on the net calling staff jobsworth but they've got to be more realistic with the approach. Many people in there early 20's are self-conceous about the way they look younger than there age and can be offended by this.

 

It was Online Customer Service I used. I'm not being a twat. I just think the whole process is getting over the top now. Once again when get asked for I.D for alcohol I don't mind. When its a product which is restricted to a 12! A fucking 12! Then it's a different story.

You can be annoyed at the rules themselves, but don't take it out on the poor sod behind the till who is doing their job. They ascertained you looked under 25 and you are. So she was right to do what she did according to the rules they have to abide. If you were a mystery shopper, and she didn't ask, then she'd be out of a job.

 

They probably have to go through this carry on multiple times a day, and it isn't their fault. Just show your ID, chuckle along with them and leave them to get on with their job.

I've only ever had one problem getting served, while shopping I saw a guy I knew and we shared a few polite words. Got to the check out alone with some beer and was asked for I.D, which is fine. I presented it as requested. They then said they couldn't serve me until they saw the I.D of the lad I spoke to. I told them I hadn't entered the shop with him, and I wasn't even sure if he was 18, and I'm not running around the shop to find him. Wouldn't serve me without seeing his ID so told them to forget the whole shop. I really wish I had more than 3 Items.

 

On the topic of how old people look , I was on Omegle the other night and between flashing my dick to strangers, some girl told me to "turn off the computer Grandpa" I'm 27 and that was the first time I have had any comment on how old I look. I looked about 15 when I was 24, but now I've started to notice aging signs every time I look in a mirror. I do wear a flat cap and have a massive beard, so I'm not doing myself any favours.

 

Plus I agree, a 22 year old not getting served for a 12 DVD is bullshit. James F Blake was just doing is job, fight the power brother.

That's a fairly common scenario they are tested on by mystery shoppers. So again, they are doing their job right. Makes sense when you really think about it.

What? Not really?

Does it make sense? I'm purchasing the alcohol, I have ID, serve me. If I then decide to supply the alcohol to a underage hooligan, is'nt the law breaking on me?

 

And nah, not really. It was Chat roulette.

So wait. He was IDed, but he had his ID so he got his product? Why the fuck is he moaning then? He got his desired result. Why be a weird knob about it. I'd fucking love to be IDed, me. Never have been and it sounds like an awesome self esteem boost.

It's probably not a great boost though when you're trying to look old but have a thinner beard than a Persian grandmother.

I hope Twinn gets food poisoning and that TripleA and Sphinx get slightly milder cases of it.

 

Don't argue with them. They don't get it. It's much easier to harp on about jobsworths and behave like mini-Clarksons than to actually understand the main point that daz and others are trying to make here. Fucking planks.

Once a "new" woman started working in our Co-op. Now, I've been on first name terms with all the staff in there for years and years, but this new young lady decided to ID me for the beer I was buying. I politely asked her to go and get anyone else that worked there, as they all know me and my family reasonably well and would either confirm my age or serve me themselves on the other till (I was over 25 for the record). When she rudely refused my request and proceeded to act an absolute twat about it, I left without making a fuss. The only thing I did do, was took all my beer back off the counter and put it on the floor for her to pick up. If I'm having to walk all the way to the other beer shop half way across the Island she's fucking well picking up my cans of the floor and putting them back herself.

 

She didn't last more than a couple of weeks in there. I think she quickly picked up the hints that you don't march into an isolated, inbred, community as an outsider and start upsetting the hicks with rudeness and sarcasm.

 

Is it food poisoning for me too then?

Yes, to be honest. She was doing her job. In retail you're told you have to see the ID yourself, no vouching as they could be lying too and it's not worth the fines. It's definitely bell behaviour to put the tins on the floor like you're three because she did her job properly and you've got to walk 10 minutes or whatever. You acted the twat, not her. Very petulant.
