Tesco not delivering because I had no id!!

Oh 🤔 maybe just a random check then

I once was stuck in traffic and Waitrose left it at my door, without the booze though!
@LauraNorda I rarely comment on ridiculous posts but yours - I mean really what was the point? It's better for the environment to have it delivered rather than drive there for a start, it employs people (the picker and the driver), saves time, saves money (as you are not tempted by items when cruising the store). is convenient, and is great for those who can not, for whatever reason, get to a shop.

Are KFC and BBQ not the proper meals you were looking forward to? 😐

Those drivers run the risk of disciplinary action doing that. One day they'll fail a test purchase and will be required to do training as will every single driver as it takes one to be an idiot.

If it keeps happening, Tesco will investigate which can lead to being fired. And possibly buggered by the peelers as test purchases are carried out by them in store as well as at customers homes.

Sounds like the shop staff are doing their jobs correctly whereas the delivery drivers aren't. I'd be asking you for ID and, if you told me other drivers don't, I'd feed that back to management.

Especially as you almost always order age restricted items.

I send DS stuff sometimes to his university house and he has never been asked for ID - he's 20 and I send booze.

But Amazon deliver to lockers, which can be picked up by anyone (eg if a parent sends their teen to the locker with the code) making a mockery of the rule that if the parcel is handed over to a person they must have ID.

@DownNative I have a Tesco delivery once a week every week and almost always order booze, and often medicine, lighters etc. I have never once been asked for ID (yet get ID'd in the shop).

@LieutOliviaBenson

Utter nonsense. Tesco are waaaay more expensive than Aldi or Lidl.

The 'price match' to Aldi and Lidl Tesco do, is usually on about 100 items in any given week, out of about 20,000!😆

They only ever ask me for my DOB though. Never for physical ID

Even Amazon? The drivers are at risk of falling foul of "mystery shoppers," who Amazon bribe with vouchers to wheedle their delivery out of drivers. I went to more than one house, with a couple of cars on the drive, where neither adult could produce a driving licence.

i always left, as there were drivers who gave in, got reported and were sacked.

I’m late 30s and was ID’d a couple of times by sainsburys and Tesco for home deliveries in the past few years! Same as you - had no booze or cigarettes etc in my delivery but it’s just their policy apparently. I used to get ID’d a lot in my early 30s when i did in-person shopping but that was when I was picking up things like scissors or knife or any other age restricted products.

If the delivery driver ever IDs me for my non age restricted products I shall firstly hug him for thinking i might be less than 25.
Then I'll have to get 19 year old DS as he's the only person with photo ID.

DH got IDed buying Calpol on his way home from a night shift. As a doctor.

Annoying, but I'm slightly relieved to hear this, I have a feeling that more women in their 20s are ID'd than men. (Not so much teens where it seems more equal). I can't help wondering how many 31 year old blokes get ID'd for a Tesco delivery.

It's not that simple. It's nothing to do with common sense its how businesses run. I'm sure in your job theirs procedures you have to follow that make life difficult its just the way it is when your an employee. That's like walking into a pharmacy and saying can't you just grab it of the shelf for me, it just doesn't work like that and I'm sure you don't go around saying the pharmacist has no common sense so why would you say that about a retail worker

Honestly there are some proper jobsworths when it comes to asking for ID. Some people just use common sense and some people... Don't.

I have a very clear memory of almost breaking down in tears in Tesco at 6am on my way home from a 16 hour night shift at the age of 31, and being ID'd for an energy drink. For which you need to be 16. I couldn't decide whether to cry or crack the energy drink and pour it over the stupid woman's head.

Even if they did have age restricted products then surely those could have been removed and the OP allowed to have the rest of their shopping? A teenager could go into any supermarket and buy whatever they wanted apart from age restricted products but if the shop is bringing it to your door, you're not allowed to have that same teenager receive it, eg if their parents are out? Why?

Honestly, it appears that no-one has any common sense or wants to provide even a basic level of customer service any more.

Why do people need to be over 18 to have food that's been paid for with no age restricted products delivered? That's ridiculous. What about people who become parents or who just live independently before that age? Are they not allowed to have their shopping delivered?

I would be complaining to Tesco. Their driver must have very poor eyesight or judgement to not be able to work out that a 31 YO is over 18, whatever weird facial treatments they've had.

Struggling for money so you have to make a weekly shop last a fortnight but you've had a takeaway tonight (despite being terribly rural and remote) and left your bag in your car yesterday as you were holding a KFC? Could you not have bought the Tesco shop on the way home instead of KFC? 🤷‍♀️

Oh fgs

Wouldn't of been razors

Are you sure you didn't have age restricted products. Some things people don't think about are age restricted like paracetamol, party poppers, cutlery even if it's plastic, certain birthday candles, energy drink, even non alcoholic drink pings up.

I do find this bizarre. Tesco wouldn’t leave my delivery with DD (nothing age restricted in there) so she got a neighbour who is 20 to come round with his ID. That was fine. She could have walked into Tesco & bought everything in my order.
