Tesco refuses beer to man shopping with daughter - Times Online
A father who tried to buy six beers from a branch of Tesco was told that he could not be served because he had his teenage daughter with him.
A cashier told Dominic Zenden, 45, that he could not leave with the Budweiser bottles in case he gave any to his 15-year-old daughter, Devon....Mr Zenden said that the alcohol was for his own consumption and he would not give any to the teenager but the cashier refused to back down and he left empty-handed...
A Tesco spokesman said that staff were entitled to ask for proof of age from anyone present when alcohol was being purchased if it was suspected that they might consume it. ..
“I can understand the frustrations of the customer but I think that any reasonable parent would understand the problem and support our policy.”
No I bloody wouldn't, I would have told the prodnose that of course I was going to offer my daughter a drink at home on that lovely warm evening. There is nothing illegal in doing so, and introducing teenagers to drink in that way is a sensible and responsible action of a parent. But whatever I want to do with the beer after I have bought it is no bloody business of Tesco. If Tesco want to not sell cans of cooking lager to an 18 year old, who is with his gang of younger mates, that probably improves the local environs; but when Tesco introduce thick as shit rules for their thick as shit cashiers in the hope they will show judgement, then Tesco shows it is as thick as shit.
