Happens to my son all the time in Supermarkets. A couple of weeks ago my son and his wife got their shopping and a bottle of wine. The woman asked if my son had I.D. (He is 33 years old) He showed it, but then the assistant asked did his wife have I.D. She did not, but the accusation was he was buying drink for minor. (She is 27 years old). She had to go to the car and get her I.D. holding up a large Friday night queue. The woman gave them the wine. My son did ask to see the Manager whilst he was waiting.
Time these assistance used a bit of common sense. Why would a couple be buying a week's groceries and both be wearing wedding rings, if they where under 18 and he was trying to ply her with drink!!! I understand the shop assistants have a job to do, but was a ridiculous situation. My son said everyone in the queue started arguing with the assistant and telling her to get a grip.
My son is pleased he looks young and never minds showing his I.D. but he was mad that the woman thought he was buying drink for a minor.
