I know they're trying to cut down on knife crime but this...

[Vickyleigh]

Is something else!!!!

I got asked for ID to buy this in Asda!

Just a standerd cutlery set and all I wanted was the forks!
I didn't have an ID but I am 27 and don't look 17 so I asked for the manager
and said "I'm out shopping with my baby, I'm not going on a muderous
rampage with a knife and fork!"
They let me have them in the end. If it was a meat cleaver then I would understand
but a knife and fork set oh and can't forget the spoons. It's good
they are trying all they can to cut down on knife crime but
I'm just a normal mother out shopping with my child and I get asked for ID to but forks!!!

You've gotta laugh tho.

And you must look nice and young

I know for some things it seems silly - but shops can be prosecuted for allowing underage ppl to buy this kind of stuff so they have to have ID in a lot of cases - take it as a complement that you look too young to buy them!
I used to work in a shop and we had to have ID for party poppers and liquer chocolates too, even kids safety scissors!
I used to hate asking ppl for ID and got really but we had to cos of all the laws we have now.
Its a sign of the times unfortunately.

Can you imagine someone waving a little serated knife at you demanding your purse!?!

WORLD GONE MAD.

Wouldnt worry about the ID my mum got ID'd in Marks and SPencers the other week for a bottle of wine! Shes 45

 

[lfc_sarah]

Rediculous isnt it!!

When i worked part time in Marks and Spencers when i was in college years ago...
..there was a boy about 12 buying a present for what i assume was his dad or grandad
Some old spice set...or something similar...
And because in the ingredients was a bit of alcohol i wasnt allowed to sell it to him

As if hes going to start drinking something that tastes horrible just to get a kick off it

 

[Vickyleigh]

Awww poor lad not even being able to but old spice what is the world coming to!

 

[Snuggle]

If you came running at me weilding a spoon I would be terrified

Yep i used to work in woolies a few years back and i had to refuse to sell a plastic picnic set of knifes, forks and spoons to a young girl because she didnt have ID.

Its so silly- when i worked at Argos we we were supposed to ask for id from anyone buying knives- but i don't think i
bothered when it was a mum buying a cutlery set- we were only meant to ask if in any doubt!
Also if someone didn't have ID but was obviously not a teen about to stab someone..all you have to say is "how old are you" as if it was a test from trading standards the test person is not allowed to lie about there age they have to tell you! so your covered by asking the persons age! sounds like a cashier on a powertrip..LAME!!!

 

[Noor~ul~Usman]

I got ID'd for a pack that contained nothing but some cheap tesco teaspoons a few months ago

 

[Xena]

haha that's funny being ID-ed for a cutlery set

I never get ID-ed for anything. Bought a bottle of advocaat yesterday (I fancied some advocaat and lemonade - it's been ages since I've had that!) and I was secretly wishing that I would get ID-ed so I could feel young lol....but I didn't, as usual

I never even used to get ID-ed when I was underage going to nightclubs or anything. Old before my time me

 

[BountyBoo]

Dear Me, What is the world coming to!?

I still get Id'd for everything!!

 

[jools221181]

I always got asked for ID until recently Motherhood has aged me so much

 

[jennywren]

its funny that as last week our boss (who is about 45) went to Tesco on the way to work to buy us a load of t-spoons for the kitchen and he got ID'd for them and we were all its a fecking t-spoon whats he gonna do spoon someone to death
