That’s when you leave it ALL at the till and tell them “Take it back yourselves!”

Are you kidding? What happen to the pro business conservatives I know and love?

A business has EVERY right to decide how and to whom it will sell it’s products.

This is how they want to play the game then guess what... YOU LIVE IN A FREE SOCIETY.. go shop somewhere else.

Mr Bruce, a student, was unable to show the cashier any proof of his age and his mother was told to put the 24 cans of Fosters and a bottle of cider back on the shelf.

I hope she at least refused to put them anywhere other than the floor in front of her.

Obviously, the thought of a parent telling their child “you wait here in the car, I’ll be right back with your booze” hasn’t occurred to them yet.

Meanwhile, Mr. Average Parent who happens to want to buy some wine for his wife and he to enjoy that night; but made the mistake of bringing their daughter/son into the store may be deprived of a simple pleasure.

Yup, whether you can buy wine/beer at the store is dependent upon the telepathic skills of a minimum wage earner. Nice.

Yup .

And at the other end of the spectrum , would you believe there are still liquor shops here in the Japanese countryside that sell beer in vending machines ?

Next on the list... If the cashier even suspects that a woman might want to become pregnant, no liquor for her! It would be bad for the baby, don't cha know!

Hey, I just wondered about something... Why is it that alcohol and cigarettes must have warning labels about how bad that stuff is for a fetus, but Planned Parenthood clinics don't?

I have absolutely no problems with private entities refusing to sell to anyone under any circumstance.

“Tesco” is not the government, folks. There are other options to purchase item to imbibe.

A couple summers ago I was with my parents in NY State, picking up groceries. They were buying a couple bottles of wine, and since I was standing nearby, the cashier demanded my ID. Since I wasn’t buying, I’d left my purse in the car. They absolutely would not complete the transaction unless I went back out, dug my purse out of the hot car, and showed them my license. Now, I’m not some pimply youngster, I was 34 and pregnant at the time!!! The sheeple at the register insisted that it was state law that EVERYONE in line be carded, no matter how old they looked, but she wouldn’t answer why she didn’t card my 71 year old father as well.
