Nope wrong again......It is insulting to suggest to a customer......I will not serve you alcohol because you look like the type of person who MAY give it to your underage children.......If that's not a moral judgement then I don't know what is.....

Sod 'insulting' the customer, if its your job on the line 

But if your happy to loose your income, but can leave with a clear head knowing you sold that Knife. Good on you!  :-?

You didn't answer my question ........so I'll ask it again.......The woman in question had I.D to prove she was over The  age of 18..(23)......and yet they still would not serve her .....WHY NOT?....simple question really

Because person she was with could not produce ID.

End of the day, supermarket set the rules. (correctly in my view) Your sat there earning £5/h, would you risk of your job?

[/highlight]

she should get the sack for not doing her job and making a sale.

many a time the kids want a 18+ game from hmv or what ever. purchase is always made to an adult even thou junior is standing there.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Nope...you're wrong Tunnie..... The woman in question was 23 and had I.D to prove it.....She was not allowed to purchase the knife because the lady on the till thought she might give it to her boyfriend....THAT IS A MORAL JUDGEMENT...

Its the rules FFS, set by the supermarket, its the same for Cigs & Booze. Been around for years, ID for 18, checkout bod need to think they are 21+

But lets run with your issue with morals here.

When I worked at Tesco at 16, I thought I was earning good money, but there were single mums there, struggling to make a living on their hourly pay.

Do you think they would risk their job, their homes, their families to break a rule the supermarket set? Just so someone can get their knife!?

You are contradicting yourself . The lady in question had I.D to prove she was over 18....(23 in fact)....and yet they would still not sell her the knife......WHY NOT?

You can't lock and full stop key broken?  - If you read the first post, its because person she was with, failed to provide ID.

Supermarkets brought in tough rules for Knifes, chavs have to buy them there now since eBay stopped.

Yes Tunnie, but why was that taken into account when the Law does not request it?

Before you answer read this Trading Standards definition on knife sales:

Maybe it was a clamp down, Knife crime in the area? Who knows. Its very clear the checkout bod was given rules, she/him stuck to them. Good for her/him. 

So someone could not buy a knife? So what, how about lady in question left, came back, went to a different checkout alone and bought it? Checkout person would not be breaking their new rule, everyone is happy 

I'll just wait for your next post of when some 16 kid gets stabbed, saying what a tragedy. Would not surprise me if you starting going on about banning knife sales 

 If a kid wants to knife someone all he has to do is go to his mums kitchen draw....

You don't have to be 18 to buy guns in Liverpool. Hand over the wodge and it's yours. They also have a rather convenient hire service.

This thread just reminded me - I had to show ID in Tescos at Chritmas to be able to buy a box of Christmas crackers, because they contain explosive. Im 51 FFS ! the world has gone stark staring mad.

Please, 'Oh please' somebody challenge me about my age.... 

[Webby the Bear]

haha its awful to think i get asked for id because they think im gonna knife someone as opposed to because i look underage and will probably accidentally stab myself 

[Vamps]

Please, 'Oh please' somebody challenge me about my age.... 

I complained, some months ago now, that they did not challenge my age, after the alarm went for whisky, the lady at the checkout just looked at me and smiled....

I asked some old dear in her 90's once for ID for a giggle, as she was buying Whiskey. She said it made her day!

Here are some points.

The law says 18 for a lot of things and does not mention other people.

Supermarkets do not set the law - if in doubt challenge them.

A river will always find a way to the sea.

If you can't buy you get elsewhere.

Heath and safety has gone mad. I remember a few years ago, last day at school, chemistry class, being asked what we wanted to do. I said I wanted to make Nitrogen Triiodide.

And we did.

Did you have fun?..........

Can I just point out that it is not ilegal for an under 18 to consume alcohol, only to buy it, so where does that leave us with this argument discussion, I know it started with knives...
