DP was in Slummerfields yesterday with his nephew, aged 12. Along with a few bits of food, he picked up a bottle of wine, but was refused service at the till, because nephew is underage . DP's protestations that we wouldn't be providing rioja top-ups fell on cloth deaf ears.
DP brought nephew home and returned to make his feelings more strongly felt. The manager admitted possibly over-zealous enforcement by the cashier (who had been sent 'out back') but refused to serve DP the wine 'because he didn't much like his attitude'. He can have this second point - I've often refused him things on the same basis.
DP is 37 and so clean-cut he was once invited to join an boy-band, so don't go telling me he must have looked rough.
Is this occurring elsewhere?
