Id'd for buying disposable razor blades...

This happened in poundland earlier on.
I am 38 years old. Aibu to think this is absurd?

Depends how old you look i suppose.

It's a blade

There's laws....so no, not ridiculous at all. Unless you want the shops and staff continually fined?

A retail worker can be fined and prosecuted if they just let you off

I had the same thing in Superdrug a couple of weeks ago and I'm 37. I was rather happy about it!

Yes it’s crazy! It’s always something like that, or paracetamol…. They never actually care when it’s alcohol I find!

Yes yabu. Just show your ID and get over it

Pleased for you

Do t buy anything age locked from B&M they've recently introduced a policy where they have to get a second staff member to validate the Id check and put their code into the till. It's a right faff as they always have to call for someone, there's never a second person in the vicinity.

No offence but there is no way at your age that you look under 18. So that is ridiculous.

It happened to me several times in my mid 30s buying silly things like a set of cutlery for the office, a box of matches in my Ocado delivery order and once a glue stick! I'm 40 now and haven't had it for a while luckily, it always felt ridiculous because I was clearly over 16/18!

Yes, they're age-restricted (esp as you say blades rather than razors)

Stealth boast about how young you look?

I had a Tesco delivery last week and they age checked me. No alcohol. No blades. No fireworks. Even the delivery driver was confused so I asked him to check.
Large plastic food saver box!

The me why the large plastic food saver box needs ID? Is it big enough to hold a body.

Sort of big cake size. You might get a cat in it 🤷‍♀️
