To be annoyed by this?

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?

OP, this is obviously outrageous and you should write to head office to explain exactly why and to tell them that of course you'll be shopping elsewhere from now on.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 17/11/2011 13:04

Thats awful, i wouldn,t be shopping there again. Oh and i'd be firing off an e-mail to HQ.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 17/11/2011 13:05

Ooo hello M'lady.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 17/11/2011 13:06

Hi PathanKhansWitch!

Extremely weird! However, if it did happen then you are absolutely right to be livid.

A Woman's Right to Cheese PMSL!

This may sound feudal but I wonder if it occurred to Ms Crazy-on-the-Till that people of either gender and at any stage of the reproductive cycle may buy food that some other bugger is going to eat?

Andrewofgg: . . . and a wedge of that nice Stilton, please.
Assistant: Sorry, Sir, you might have a pregnant wife, daughter, houseguest, can't sell you that!

Why in god's name would anyone make up a story about cheese fgs!

Same reason they would do it about poo - to get attention or kicks.

SparkleSoiree · 17/11/2011 14:11

Is cheese a licensed product now?

Glad you asked about CFO kola! I haven't the foggiest either.

valiumredhead · 17/11/2011 16:09

Jajas it's not what it's about, it's how much attention is generated Grin

valiumredhead · 17/11/2011 16:09

Crock full of Cola? Confused

Chulita · 17/11/2011 16:16

kayzr I was showing with #3 at 8 weeks, bloated rather than baby but a few people guessed just by that.

YANBU, not her place to tell you what to buy. You should have looked udderly disgusted and said: "I assume you think I look like a stilton-eater then", swiveled on back foot and flounced out.

The OP isnt a troll, I know she isnt, plus she has a profile FGS.

Wow.
Whatever next, refusing to sell chocolate bars to teens as they might get spots?
I would have been speechless tbh.
