To be annoyed by this?

[Kayzr]

I've just popped to the shop as we needed some milk. I got a few other bits too including a piece of Stilton and a fancy bottle of whisky for my Dads Xmas present.

I will add here that I am 9 weeks pregnant.

I got to the till and the woman put everything through including the whisky but refused to sell me the Stilton as I'm pregnant! But the whisky was fine. I told her that guidelines had changed and that because Stilton is a hard cheese I can eat it. She still refused so I asked for a supervisor to come over.

She called for supervisor and they came over with the store manager too. The lady on the checkout explained what the problem was. I then said about the guidelines changing and also about how I was ok to buy the whisky. Apparently I don't look like a whisky drinker. In the end the supervisor apologised and said I was able to buy the cheese.

AIBU to be a bit annoyed at this? I imagine hormones make it seem more annoying than it probably is.

Also how did she know I was pregnant? This is DC3 but I didn't think I was showing yet.

And what does a whisky drinker look like? My Dad maybe?

I would be furious

Tis very strange, how the heck would she know you were pregnant? and since when did check out staff choose what a person can buy, other than products with age limits.

That's awful. This is why I am a feminist. We are adults, we can make our own bloody decisions!

This is riddled with so much unreasonableness I don't even know where to start.

YANBU of the highest order.

YANBU

This cannot possibly be true.

amazed that she knew you were pregnant at only 9 weeks.

YANBU to be a bit annoyed. ( furious shooby? really? )

but it was really only her ignorance about the guidelines. she possibly isn't up to date with them if she hasn't been pregnant recently.

anyway, is it up to shop staff to refuse the sale of cheeses to pregnant people? i dont thin they have any right to refuse TBH. the risk is your own to take.

Bollocks. This was a story in the Daily Mail last year.

Lol at Vivi. I too was shocked at attempt to deny human right to cheese.

Bizarrest behaviour by bored till lady ever.

Ah so maybe it isn't my hormones then. I think it was more annoying because of the whisky. It's fine for me to drink but not eat cheese!

YANBU I wonder if they would have let you buy fags?

0 out of ten.

The world is going bonkers

She cannot possibly have know you were pregnant unless you told her

I am really sorry if it was in the daily mail last year but it certainly just happened to me.

human right to cheese.

Arf. I value it higher than my right to vote... right to freedom... etc etc

so how did she know you were pregnant at 9 weeks then?

I didn't tell her I was pregnant. My clothes are feeling tighter but I don't think I am showing. I do have loads of fat around my waist that I haven't lost from the last pregnancy.

OP must be a mouse!

She couldn't possibly have known you were pregnant. You're either making it up or have imagined the whole thing

The only way they know I am pg is if I am showing and I don't think I am or they know someone I know. We have told all of our family and most of our friends. I shop in there almost every day so it's possible.

But seriously if I was going to troll I'd pick something more exciting than cheese!
