B&Q age thing.

I was in Asda last week, when buying some beers. When your usual middle-aged woman asked me for Id. Being 20 I said no probs there you go and handed over my driving licence. The woman on the till said that doesn’t look like you , you don’t have glasses on in the picture 
i asked her if it would help if i take my glasses off. She said "no , the person in the picture looks older."
bear in mind this picture was taken when i was 15/16 and my hairdoo is almost identical.
She got over the manager woman , who eventually served me.

lol I love this whole - "if you dont look 21 then you must be under 18" thing.
Life was so simple back in 80s and 90s

It's not that at all - it's either:
1) We don't want to serve anyone under 21 because they're a pain.
or
2) We want to be cautious - if we think you're under 21 we'll always ask you for ID to check you're over 18.
Both seem quite reasonable to me.

Some places down here are adopting "Think 25" policies.. that sucks.
Personally, I don't get that problem but, as stated, she needs to check or she could face a fine and/or lose her job

What places? Just so I know where to keep an eye out in Swansea.EVH said:
I've been IDed for a bottle of vodka in Tesco but it didn't really bother me, just showed my driving license and that was that. Figure it's not the person serving me's fault so no point arguing it or taking longer just to be awkward.

Some pubs and clubs are doing it, although I can't remember the name...
I just remember getting ID'd somewhere and I said "Think 21?" and they said "no think 25 for us" which I was shocked about!
Tesco and ASDA are still Think 21 though...
Will edit the names in when I remember!

They might as well just introduce a "think 100" policy and ID everyone.

Yeah a lot meaning always. But tbh I don't even look 18 so it's hardly surprising.fatiain said:You obvoiusly get ID'd a lot then.
