went into BQ today for some wd40 she asked me if I was over 21 - I'm 65

 

buying wd40 is part of the glue sniffing act, whats the world coming to

[lukepilot]

That means I can't buy WD40 for another 4 years

I bought a lotto ticket last month at a corner shop and got asked for ID (it's 18 to buy lottery tix here in Ontario).  I'm 43.  Like to say I look young, but not 25 years younger.  Showed my Driver's and dude behind the counter just deadpanned "Oh.  Okay.   Thank you.  Would you like it in a bag?"

Damn, I would have taken that as a compliment!!!  Best one I saw recently was in Tesco where a woman (in her late 40s) was with her son - obviously around 20 and cashier asked for proof of age - ignored the mother and was asking her son - such a brilliant argument ensued!!!

We was away with work in South Wales, one of the lads went on the McDs run. When he came back he said "after asking for 35 cheese burgers and 1 veggie! I was asked are you sitting in?

Are people really that dumb?

[Gerbil367]

Its a world gone mad - companies are so scared of bad publicity and being sued that they insist staff ask all these dumb questions!  Even to the point of disciplinary if the staff dont do it!

I got asked for id when buying a few spray cans in the pound shop in town, witch is fair enough as I do look a lot younger than I actually am. But the woman serving me just also happens to have an elderly relative who lives in the bungalow opposite my garage and visits daily. So wouldn't it have been obvious how old I was from the years of seeing me driving around and working on the minis?

 

But then it was also the same woman who complained about the noise from using the grinder once, right up till I pointed out that she was happy enough to sell me the grinding disks in the first place.

 

And going back a few years I did once get asked for id after filling up the mini once.

 

*edit*

 

Actually come to think of it I did used to get asked for id when buying drinks with the ex and she was 2 years younger than me.

Not quite an age story. Some years ago Yorkie (chocolate bar) ran a promotion 'not for girls' my daughter was refused to by one by the shop owner because she is you've guessed it a girl !

Who'd have thought WD40 was a legal high

GT-85 is better..... (for all you bikies out there) It smells nice, stops bleeding (don't know how), makes a great emergency deodorant, tastes like parma violets......even quite a good lube for moving mechanical parts too
