Was in the queue at the check-out of a well known supermarket; Begins with "T" ends with "esco" and witnessed something that annoyed and frustrated me:
There was a young couple running their shopping through the till. With the running total at £95 the check-out lady asked the young lady for ID as she didn't look 21 Holding onto a bottle of red wine.
The lass didn't flicker and said she didn't bother to carry ID because she was 20. Check-out lady insisted and the partner of the young lady declared himself to be 29 and carrying ID and said he would buy it. Check-out lady said he couldn't have the bottle and must go and get another and join tha back of the queue.
I sensed full-on jobsworth at work:
2 young people almost £100 worth of goods with 1 bottle of red wine. Surely the most elaborate plot by under-age boozers ever?
Was check-out lady being a cow or are the rules really so strict?
Couldn't check-out lady, even if she thought the young lass did look under 21, see that with all those other groceries it was all going to be legal?
They chose to leave without their wine...
Personally, I would have chucked everything back on the conveyor and cancelled the whole lot......
