But the age limit on selling knives is 18 years of age.  The youngest involved in buying the knives was 23, who could produce ID.   Therefore in this instance the Sainsbury's staff were being far too cautious :( :(

No, the same rule applies to alcohol & cigarettes. She could have been buying it for him, he was unable to produce ID, therefore she refused sale. Totally correct thing to do.

We know their age, but the checkout bod, would have to go on looks / judgement alone.

I've been asked for ID on booze, i'm 26 and 6ft4!

I agree with Lizzie.

Although I've only seen you from afar you still looked more than 18 & had I been in your postition would've left the booze at the checkout! All the person on the till needs to judge is if you're over 18 .... not how old you actually are.

Not any more ;) ;) Most places are part of the "Challenge 25" scheme where if you appear under 25......... ;) ;)

they're writing their own rules/laws now then? If the law requires you to be 18 to buy booze or a knife who's Sainsbury/etc to have their own limit?

rightly done in my opinion refusing the sale, if it turns out the person is under age, the person on the checkout who sold the item, can be liable for a considerable fine.

So if you on the checkout earning £5/hr why take the risk?
Exactly, and management will always support their staff

They need to prove that they're 18

clue is in the name "check out girl". probably been insrtucted an hour before on store policy.

had the same thing trying to buy more that three lots of paracetamol products in one go. the check out divider solved the problem.

i now have a till check out system.

young lass= speed.

more mature= a bit slower but if you have an age check item always a good choice.

as time is money i would have chose another till and told the the other half to disappear.

Had frequent arguments over this... Buying 2 packs of Paracetemol and 2 packs of Ibuprofen and getting refused ::) ::)

Then you can go into Boots (as we did recently) asking for Soluble Paracetemol and were told we could only buy it in a box of 100 ::) ::)

what if your kids are 'under age' and they come with you on your weekly shop? Does this mean you run the gauntlet of leaving them at the door on their own & having social services waiting for you when you get back home, or do you get refused at the till when you have a case of Tesco own brand lager & a bottle of whisky in your trolly? It seems you'd be in a no win situation!

I had that, Tesco till system refused any more than 2 packs in one transaction. Just needed to pay and then start a new transaction to get around it  ::)

Might have updated the firmware since my days!

its not same any more, with my reduce gun I could set anything to £0.05p, it was not tied into main system (unlike now) so just went through as "other" under items reduced.

I ate well at lunch time  :-X
