CO-OP Staff AGAIN

[Munkfish]

Just been on my lunch at work and fancied a walk, walked to the CO-OP Hove park and found myself a little bargin 4 bottles of becks for £2.49, So i grab myself a 4 pack and procede to the till, as a few may no i dont look my age 21 but not much younger than 18 but expect to get ID, so it was no suprise when i was asked.
Once asked i got out my useall Id a provisnal driving Licence and was told thats not acceptable (not becuase of my shocking picture) as its not the one in there list and points to 5 different types of ID, 3 of which i have never heard of! i said its a valid ID and she refused to serve me so i asked to speak to the manager as i though she may of just misunderstood.
I Spoke to the manager who looked at the ID and said as it wasnt in this picture he wouldnt serve me! So i put it to him becuase i havnt passed my test im not allowed alchole! and that i can go to pretty much every bar/club in the uk and this be accepted!

Am i Wrong or are they just being complete fools!

Don't know UK rules, but here vendors have to accept provisional and full Irish and DVLNI licences, Irish and British passports. They can refuse to serve you full stop but if they blame the ID and its one of those, they can be punished by the equality authority...

I'd investigate to see if theres any equivalent rules.

Could be worse, our local co-op's 'Miss Smiley', in her sixties, regarded as the life and soul of the shop, stabbed her husband to death this Christmas.

Generally speaking if you work at co-op your going to be a bit dim!

Saying that, an 47 year old woman got asked for ID at Waitrose in Worthing and as she didn't have any they wouldnt serve her alcohol

Why should he, government recognised ID is a Full Driving Liscence, Provisional one and Passport.

 

[tedebear]

I soooooooooooooo have the same problem - what with me being 30 something and looking 18

Sadly here in Shoreham, Somerfields, the Co-Op and the stupid horrible One Stop by the station have been done for serving people underage so they are pretty strict with what they will accept. I carry my passport everywhere anyhow as I am required by HO rules to be expected to show it on demand....hey ho...

As a side note I can't understand how even if you have a credit card style drivers license, it isn't valid as ID unless you carry the paper bit too - ridiculous waste of money from the DVLA...

 

[house your seagull]

4 becks for 2 and half quid!

 

[Nibble]

Get a passport.

 

[Bluejuice]

What a pile of buggery. That is so shit.

You shouldn't have to apply for special Id cards with a driving licence. A provisional is EXACTLY the same as a full licence with the only proviso that you can't drive unaccompanied, which has NOTHING to do with the validity of it as a proof of age.

I would seriously think about writing a letter to head office because that my friend, is unacceptable.

I can't believe the Co-Operative excel in so many other areas: banking, insurance etc. and yet their supermarkets are utterly retarded in terms of how they're run. It beggars belief it really does

 

[Munkfish]

I dont get it though its the 1st time since turning 18 that iv had any trouble what so ever! I dont see how if i Drive or not it makes a difference to the Information for ID puropses!

You're right - it shouldn't! You have the license and its valid ID as far as I can see...

I have a passport but

1 its huge and just annoying to carry around

2 if i lose that its going to cost me £40+ to get it replaced were as my provisinal is going to be no more than £15

Grow a beard

 

[Munkfish]

Blond Bum fluff doesnt quite cut it as a beard! to be fair i havnt been asked as much lately and i dont really mind when i am but for them to say no becuase it wasnt in a picture!

 

[Billy the Fish]

I got asked for ID to buy deodorant in wilkinsons last year, I was also buying cushions and bedsheets. I had a row whith the woman about it and she threatened to have me chucked out. I had my driving license but I'm f***ed if I'm going to produce it for some jobsworth bint when there's no age restrictions on it. In fact that's pretty much what I said to her.
