Ok, so yeah I posted a "Yay for Somerfield" post the other day.
That was before I found out they were Fudge Packing ID Nazis.
So I go into Gay-Somerfield today to buy all that cheapo drink I was raving on about, only to find out the offer had ended yesterday.
So I potter around the store looking for something to buy for me dinner (Pot Noodle)(Ick)
Then, low and behold. I look into one of those fridges they keep beer n' stuff in and see some genius has left one of the "Three for £1.75" signs infront of the Java drinks! (Yay!)
So, I fill up me basket and toddle off to the checkout.
Me: "Heya"
Susan the Checkout woman: "Hello, boop boop boop"
Me: Aren't they supposed to be on the three for £1.75?"
Susan the Checkout woman: "I'll just check, oh by the way have you got any ID?"
Me: No, I don't.
Susan: "Thingy whats her name, could you just do a price check for me?"
Thingy woman: "Ok, five seventy five"
Me: err they're on offer
Thingy: No they're not
Me: Yes. They are. Theres a sign in your little fridge thingy over there.
She storms off, I follow and point out the sign and bask in my God like "Oh yes I was right and you were wrong, nyer nyer nyer-ness"
She rips the sign down and goes "hrrrrrmpf!" (Kinda like a camel does)
Then all of a sudden she spouts out with... "Well, I'm sorry, if you don't have any ID then I can't sell it to you"
How sodding rude! I've bought loads of drink from them before now and oooo just because I proved the Fudge Packing ID Nazi wrong, she goes and IDs me!
I've never been IDed like EVER!
Do I look seventeen!? Ummm no! I'm 19! Going on 20! I'm going to need a bloody walking stick soon and she IDs me!?
URRRRRRRRAAAAAAAGGGGGGH!

WHen I walked into GAME when I was thirteen one of the attendants advised me to buy GTA 3.
Oh, and I bought the original GTA, on my own, when I was 8.
The ignorance.

I guess he wasn't black.
I saw an 8 year old (approx) trying to buy Perfect Dark once.
On his own.
Had to admire the ambition.

GTA2 supposed to be a 18 right? Well I went into game and bought it for 4 quid! (Shows the quality of Game!)
Black people dont get asked their ID by white people.
It rocks :-)

My brother is 22. He looks 22, maybe even older. We went in HMV to buy a 15 rated game. The guy asked for ID. :cD
Needless to say, my bro told him where to stick his game before walking out.

Yeah, first time I went drinking after my 18th, I got asked for ID. I had my student ID, even an adult buspass, and still he wouldn't serve me. And he'd served me loads of times before! To top if off, I had my frickin' birth certificate with me (always have an official copy with me, for job interviews) and still he wouldn't serve me. So we left, went to the pub next door, and had a few pints. Hasn't happened since, though.
