    In fairness though, the person who is buying the dtuff is the one who needs to provide ID, not anyone else.

    Seriously, whenever anyone here has ever bought drink for anyone underage, were you stupid enough to bring them in to the shop with you? I don't think so.......

    Comin from a person who's worked in a shop sellin alcohol, we're always advised to take extra caution if we think someone is buyin drink for someone underage

    The person and the manager of the store can be fined on average abt €3/4k

    Some idiots had the 14 year old girl they were buyin for come in and point out what she wanted then leave the store

    When I refused them and mentioned the girl, they said they asked her for advice on good wine! eejits

    Ah but if they knew that and knew that you knew that and you knew that they knew that you knew that they knew that...

    "Well, I'm obviously not buying for my teenage brother and his mates, shopkeep... see, I've actually brought them all with me...entirely above board because <guffaws> I'm not stupid enough to bring them with me if the drink is for them after all, now give me my 48 cans of Dutch Gold and a bottle of 20 year old Talisker."

    Sorry about the bit of a bump.New laws just came in,in the last few weeks. Im working in Dunnes and anyone that works on tills had to sign a form to acknowledge that we understand that under the new law driving licences are no longer acceptable as a form of ID. So only garda and passport are now acceptable.

    My sister got refused cigarettes from our local Esso garage for not having a Garda Age Card (this was about 3-4 weeks ago). I,sitting in the car,had to buy them for her. She's 26,I'm 22.

    Ridiculous.

    My friend (21) was in Lidl there today buying some booze. She had her 17 year old sister with her. She was buying and paying for the drink, and had her ID, and she was told that her younger sister also needed ID, even though she wasn't buying...

    This is the second time this has happened. This also happened with my OH and her sister in another Lidl shop.

    Don't think it had anything to do with the girls,Its just a German thing(Its called the vot ist ur name? syndrome).
    Its genetic, all germans have an irresitible urge to ask people for ID.

    I'm 19, was in Lidl and not planning on buying any drink just having a gander at prices and what was on offer.
    Security man came over and asked me for ID. I said I wasn't buying, just looking. He said if I didn't have ID I'd have to leave, couldn't believe it - I literally couldn't even stand beside the alcohol without ID?!

    Think this thing usually happens in the UK.

    I was in Plymouth recently on a field trip with college, we were in tesco and some of the lads were buying drink, they asked us all i.d even when some people werent buying drink.
    It's ridiculous over here.


    I was in the Co-op with my dad maybe a year, 2 years ago. I'd have been 14 or 15. Dad was buying some beers.

    "I can't serve you if he's here?" she says, pointing to me
    "Why not? It's for me, not him :confused:" Dad says
    "Store policy" says the miserable cretin with a disdaining shrug
    "Well.. what should I do then?" Dad asks, still taken aback
    "Get him to stand over there"

    The woman made me go and stand by customer services while she served my dad!

    How bloody ridiculous

    Jaysis, it just keeps getting better and better. They now think its illegal to look at drink now?

    I was born with stubble, virtually. Always had to buy drink for the other teens.

    I remember sauntering into pubs in 1993 aged 15, not even that dressed up or wearing that much make-up. I think my cockiness was the key... :pac:

    Same as myself.

    Was the designated buyer of trays of Tennents back in the day.

    £1 a can by the way - which after you take inflation into account, works out at around €4 :eek: (kids today don't know their born :D)

    Was getting served in Ryan's pub in Swords from then age of 15 and Bruxelles in town also.

    Yearning for a time long since past :(
