Shop staff refuse to sell whisky to great-grandmother, 92, because she couldn't prove she was over 18
she was stunned to be asked for proof of age when she asked for a bottle of whisky from her local One Stop Shop in Harlow, Essex as she couldnot provide her driving license as well as passport.hence she was refused to sell her alcohol.
the great-grandmother-of-three produced her over-60s bus pass, an OAP card and even her pacemaker certificate, but was still turned away because she could not provide a passport or driving license
She said: "I asked the girl behind the counter to repeat herself three times, I just couldn't believe what I was hearing, I thought it was a joke.
she said "I can understand shops being strict with all the youngsters buying booze but surely there's a difference between a 92-year-old and someone of 18.
"I ended up storming out in indignation. It is just ridiculous to ask someone of my age to prove they are an adult, I find it offensive.
she said "I have never been asked for ID before in my life but then I turned 18 in 1937."
