Easy, just lie and say it’s not your kid :twisted:
wow that is messed up, while they’re at it why don’t they just stop parents buying lottery tickets and scratchcards infront of their children. If you ask me they are just being overly paranoid
Makes me glad I don’t have kids :lol:
I have a cunning plan Baldrick, if when shopping your kid wont stop saying mummy or daddy, give them a chocolate bar and tell them to put it in there pocket, as soon as they have done it report them to security for shoplifting.
Once your child is carted away, quickly dash for the drinks section and buy whatever you want. Then dash home, get sloshed while they detain your kid (also saves on getting a babysitter in), pick your kid up the next day. Hey presto!I’d say stuff em and go to one of the following,
Aldi
Asda
Booths
Budgens
Centra
Co-op
Costco
Costcutter
Dunnes Stores Farmfoods (a frozen food specialist)
Filco Foods
FreshXpress
Happy Shopper
Heron Foods
Iceland
Lidl
Londis
Mace
Marks and Spencer
Morrisons
Netto
Premier Stores
Proudfoot
Sainsbury’s
Somerfield
SuperValu
SPAR
Waitrose
Whole Foods MarketAllthough i norm find a 8 year old chav to go in and steal it for me :lol:
Farm foods sells alcohol? Since when?
well the farm shop local to here does wine and ciders mainly
as for Tesco’s thats rubbish, most adults that buy alcohol for kids go into the shop and do it while the underage kids wait outside well out of the way they dont go in with them and stand next to them at the till anyway.
Yes! Yes! i was that underage kid many a time in my youth lol, though i have to say i’d never do it for the kids nowadays they’d probably spit at ya rather than thank ya anyway.
oh plus its not right thing to do and that :)these large stores sell and promote cheap alchohol.
the flyers I receive in my local free newspaper are full of them
Its a legal drug but a mind altering drug all the same.
Cigarette advertising is banned yet it does less damage.@anita Gofradump wrote:

Hey presto!Although i do like that idea but do we have to pick the kid up the next day, can’t it be a week later or maybe a month :lol:
Reading behind the “SHOCK… HORROR” headlines in the tabloids – who let’s face it never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
Tesco’s policy seems to be that their cashiers should NOT allow sales of alchohol …. if they suspect that an adult is buying the drink for an underage youth.
Apparently a crackdown on selling alchohol directly to underage teens has proved so successful, youths are now being forced to rely on friends, parents, and relatives to buy alchohol for them.
This particular case concerned a 39 year old housewife from York who was attempting to buy a crate of lager and several bottles of cider whilst accompanied by a youth that she said was 18. He couldn’t produce any ID to demonstrate his alleged age and so the sale was refused.
It also seems that she was in there the day before, making a purchase of a similar quantity of booze, this time accompanied by a 17 year old girl but wasn’t challenged on that occasion.
Now the question in my mind is – is this woman a serial alchoholic that buys large amounts of cheap booze daily ….. or is she in fact really buying it for the local youngsters ???? Frankly I suspect the latter.
Either way Tesco’s policy on the face of it seems to be perfectly reasonable and sensible.
