To think IDing for stuff has gone too far?

[QuestionableMouse]

I've just been asked for ID in Argos for a bloody toaster. A toaster.

I was bloody gobsmacked. 😂😂😂

was it fast track?

I got ID’d buying toddler plastic cutlery

Got IDed buying dog wine

U rated DVD at a DIY till !

Ridiculous

I get IDd almost every time I buy alcohol. I'm 35!

I got ID’d for buying a chilli con carne at Wetherspoons, no alcohol. They wanted to check I was old enough to be at the bar (so over 16)

I’m 24

DP and I (in our 40s) got ID'd when we bought Baby Bio. I'd only popped in on a whim and then we were asked for ID. I didn't have any. I asked why they wanted it as surely we both look well over 18 (in fact our sons are 18 yo!) they wouldn't tell us.

Probably an error on their system, unless the toaster came with a free knife or something.

Yep - ID'd the other day for alcohol. I'm 39 and old enough that I could have a whole 18 year old of my own... ludicrous. I also look at least 45!

I think I must look really old, because I've never been ID'd for anything in my life, not even when I was 18.

Dog wine. WTF

I got ID'd for toothpaste last week!

I only get asked for ID when picking up parcels from the sorting office. What's dog wine...?

I got photo ID'ed when collecting a £1 SIM card from Tesco - that I'd bought with my clubcard points. I stood in front of the guy and showed him the relevant bit on the website that listed all the types of ID they could ask for, some of which I had on me but he wanted my passport, only my passport. So I said he could keep the sodding Simcard. So that told him.

What on earth is dog wine????

YANBU it is fucking crazy - but plenty of people on here will be along to say it's all fine because of the law and shop policies - heaven forbid we ever rely on anything that isn't policy.

Just a normal toaster. I'm 34. I bought two bottles of wine yesterday and didn't get asked.

I would imagine it's in the system (maybe incorrectly in this case) and the till just flags it up.

Recently IDed for alcohol... I laughed that I hadn't been IDed since I was 37 and that I was old enough to buy it last century! It's worth it for the expression when the assistant sees my year of birth, although it was galling when I was refused service at 36 when I didn't have ID on me

It was awkward when the rules changed when I was in my 20s and started getting IDed to buy soft drinks at the bar.

The pretty scissors at 32 was interesting... heavily pregnant, staggering around with SPD and my toddler in the trolley. I felt more like 85 than under 25!

In good news I have got rid of salesmen and chuggers by pretending to be u18.

I got ID buying zoflora a couple of months ago?!

I've been id'd for scissors and for liquor chocolates. I can't imagine how many chocolates you'd have to eat to get drunk from them!!

When my husband buys monster (an energy drink) bloody awful stuff from asda self scan, they have to check he is over a year old I mean wtaf?

There have been a few stories of mums being refused because they have kids with them. I always things that’s ID gone too far!

Nothing much to add, but was damn confused by dog wine, however Google tells me it's a wine made for dogs called Pawsecco (and others). Non-alcoholic obviously. So, ID might be getting ridiculous but I have learnt dog wine is a thing!
