to be fuckinging pissed off with cunting tescos

[monkeyfacegrace]

My kids are being brats. We have no food in the house. I bugger off to Tesco, do a monster shop, and grab a bottle of red, so desperate to have a glass I almost slug it in the aisle. And I get fucking ASKED FOR ID. IM A 24YR OLD MARRIED MOTHER OF TWO FOR FUCK SAKE. My shits darling kids have obviously played with ,my purse again as my driving license is missing. So no wine.
AHHHHHHHHHH. I almost told him I didnt want any of the fucking shopping, but I really needed it. God damn you Twat Face in Tesco.
As you were.

I can totally understand your frustration... its happened to me many a time. Saying that tho, i used to work in bars when i was younger & if you're caught serving underage people then it can be up to a £3000 fine, thats personal too, not for the company, so i can understand why people are quite happy to refuse with no proof.
Pop down your local shop....prolly cheaper too!

They are supposed to ask for ID if you look under 25.
Hope you've had a drink by now!

YABU they have to ask if you look under 25, my mum works in a shop and had teenagers go in last week to test them to see if they were asking for ID.

There will come a time when you will lean over the counter and kiss the person behind the till for asking if you are old enough to buy alcohol. Believe me.

it is a pita,

I'd sooner go to tesco with no bank card than no ID!

I know I have to look over 25,I bloody know. But that doesnt help me get my wine does it. Of all cards my kids could have lost, it had to be my I.D. Not my bastard Ikea card, or fucking useless Toys r us card, oh no, that would make my life far to easy. DH on his way to the shop now. Almost said no, but he thought he may lose his balls

YABU
when your "brats" are trying to buy alcohol underage you will be thankful

YANBU

They could have applied some commons sense to the situation.

please tell me that in your rage you presented your toys r us card as ID

I think they were being knobs personally..was it your local Tesco?

Be grateful you look young enough - after one child I look about 40 and I'm 28!

And take a deep breath. A year ago I was asked for ID to buy the sunday times! WTF?

Not unreasonable. Plus, extra marks for style for using the words Cunt' and 'Tescos' in the same subject line.

Ive never used the word cunt before , but was very angry!
I must admit, I did reduce to begging and trying to connect my credit card with my staff photo id card to prove it was me, and you have to be 18 to have a credit card, how bloody desperate!!
Never mind, tomorrow Im going to start a fresh. But for now, Im going to finish this four pack of apple turnovers that were in the clearence section and the reason that I didnt tell the man to keep the whole trolley

It's not just Tesco that have this policy
All the major supermarkets do

My daughter gets awfy miffed if she's NOT asked for ID

YANBU,

and i notice how angry you must be by saying fuckinging. hehe.

i have this constantly, me and dp went did a big shop one evening my mum had the kids, nappies, wipes, even a farking stair gate, all the kids crap veg and that, dp had ONE bottle of beer in the trolley and they wouldnt let him have it as i had no id with me, he did, i didnt, the security guard even came over and said she was being a jobsworth,

ill leave before i rant too much.

YABU. I bloody LOVE this rule cos I'm 38 and I got asked last week. I gave a cheer and did a little dance and skipped home.

But having re-read the thread title YANBU to be fucking pissed off with cunting Tesco's for a whole range of other reasons. Bastards.

Being asked for ID would make my day, no week, no month - bloody hell it would making my YEAR!!!!!!!!

you might look young but you have a potty mouth. order online next time

went to tesco's for small shop, my 23yr old tried to buy wine, was refused so i tried to buy it, [i'm 44yrs] and they refused me because the jobsworth saw we were together and thought i was buying it for her..felt humiliated, went home, rang store and complained to manager, went online and complained then rang customer services and complained. Was assured jobsworth would be told off and received £10 shopping voucher. First time i've ever complained but was truly pissed off!

Oh my lord I actually did say fuckinging!!
Anyway, as per other wine thread, Im sorted now!

apologising for fuckinging spelling!LOL brass neck alert.

LOL

I got asked for id a couple of months back...

I'm 28.

I'm visibly pregnant.

I didn't have my driving licence, but I did have 2 credit cards (which you have to be 18 for) and a payslip stating I'm a teacher on it (so therefore must be at least 22). I was also buying 2 bottles of expensive wine for a dinner party, along with expensive food for said party. I think it was pretty obvious I wasn't a teenage pisshead wanting to slug Diamond White behind the bike sheds.

I pointed all this out to them, and said how insulted I was that they were basically accusing me of being an underage pregnant girl. They still wouldn't serve me, the bastards.
