That's nothing I got ID'd for non alcoholic lager t'other week
In fairness my mate had some bucks fizz (for his Mrs. allegedly).
The young lass at the till (who knew me) turned and asked the old bag beside her if it was ok to sell it to us. Old bag snarled in a monstrous fashion "have they got ID?"
My ID was in the car and there was no chance I was going back out for it (I had just spent several hours in A&E because a screw started coming out of my leg but that's another story)
So I said to ye olde bag "Why kind miss, I am only here to buy the beer of the non alcoholic nature. Why would I need ID? I wish to pay for my own whilst my companion will pay for his"
Between a mixture of flames and spit she growled back "Your with him and what he has is alcoholic"
So the young lass pipes up "I know him and he's over 20"
"Not good enough" snaps the beast
By this time a nice lady in a suit came along and asked what was wrong so I explained the predicament. The young lass said again "I know him and he's over 20" to which the suited lady said "OK serve them"
I commented that it was a bit much over some non alcoholic beers, so she studied case of beers and after 2 long and painful minutes...... "It has alcohol content" *turns over the package* "See, 0.05%"
(There's probably the same if not more beer in Shandy and I remember buying my 1st tin of Top Deck from the Spar in Mount Pleasant Road when I was 8!!!)
And away I went and got blazing!!!!
The old bat women commented that Tesco are soon planning to bring in "think 25" which will obviously make this situation even worse!!!
The whole thing was quite embarrassing and I'm just glad the manageress (Or whoever the suited lady was) sorted it so quickly!!
