The Tesco Temperance League

How ridiculous is Tesco and their crazed nannying, denying a 33 year old man the facility to buy a bottle of Rose. When his wife stepped in with her ID (she's 28) that was also refused, on the grounds that she might be buying it for an underager (what? A teacher sedducing a pupil?). The unfortunate bloke still paid for the rest of his shopping - £140. Incorrect! You should leave it at the till and walk out.

Tesco defend themselves. 'We operate a strict Think 25 policy' they coo. The legal age is 18 for fuck's sake. How about operating a Think 18 policy instead? The puritan government bears blame as well, of course.

Everyone's just running around scared for no reason whatsoever.

Not me. No fear. Dutch courage maybe.

Yeah, I can't believe he bothered paying for the rest either. Leave it all at the cash desk & go re-buy the items at another supermarket - then ensure that you use the other supermarket in the future instead of Tesco - making sure to let Tesco know what you're doing. Oh & make sure to return the 'reward' card at the same time. Suggest where they can put that.

How about operating a 'Think' policy?
