Bit of a rant but here we go
Me and Gem popped down to Sainsbury's earlier to get some supplies for a night in (nibbles and a litre of Vodka) anyways I used the fast track thing, got to the checkout and just as I put on card in the chip and pin machine the cashier tells me to stop. She then asked, in not very clear english for ID. I said "you want to see my ID?" she then points at Gem and say "not yours hers". After pointing out it was me buying the booze she didn't need it but she wouldn't have any of it (Gem had no ID with her btw).
Anyway after litterally emptying my shopping onto the till we walk off in search of the customer services. After a legthy arguement it turns out that Sainsbury's, along with Tesco and Asda, wont sell you alcohol if you are with someone that looks under 25 WTF.
I understand them trying to clamp down on under age drinking but this is taking the p***. The whole matter was made worse by a security guard that seemed to be on a power trip and trying to intimidate us.
After the lengthy arguement that got lots of staff and customer looking at what was going off I went back round on my own and brought the stuff we originally went in for ffs.
Breath out and relax
sorry for the ranty lengthy post but I had to get it off my chest
