The rules are fuckin' stupid, and the (retail) world has gone made. There are cunts everywhere who now seem empowered to dictate how we live our lives, and can call the shots.
Take drinking; totally legal in every way at 18 years old. In fact, I was given to believe that with a family meal, it's not against the law for a parent to condone a drink for a child younger than this(?) Anyway, 18 is simple, and as the whole world has to carry ID now, proving your age is straightforward. The requirement for this is determined by a sales assistant considering that you might be under 25 years old. Considering a large proportion of the twats serving have the intellect and skill of a doughnut, this probably means that some young-looking folk are pestered for ID when they are perhaps 28! - 10 years above the legal age to drink alcohol.
If you're under 25, are asked for ID, and have ID proving you are 18+, then someone at a till will ring up a sale. However, all of the above applies Mon-Thu. For at a (long) weekend, and I think it may be a regional policy rather than a national one, there is an embargo on sales to anyone who's not 21+ and can prove it.
The result of this cuntin shit is quite simple. Picture the scene. After a long week working hard, a twenty-year-old bloke drives back to his own home on a Friday evening and has his tea. He puts his kid to bed, and he and his wife decide that they have enough cash to hire a movie and get a bottle of wine to share. Being 20 years old, a driver, a voter, a mortgage payer and a father, the hard-working chap has no reason to think there will be any problem. However, at the local "convenience" store, he gets to the till holding a bottle of wine, and he has ID with him to show he's 21 the following month. However, staring at him is a cunt.
The till operator, someone less experienced than our chap who operates heavy machinery and computerised testing equipment, is staring through big glasses and trying to assess his age. She demands ID and is handed a driving licence. With complete triumph, the cunt in an apron announces that she's sorry, and she cannot serve him as he is not 21. This is complete fuckin' discrimination and totally out of order. Yet, it happens every week, certainly in this part of the country. Not only is the whole stupid approach flawed and unacceptable, there has somehow been a transference of power from the legitimate customer to a cunt with attitude.
What will we see next? A soldier on leave from Afghanistan who's queued for 5 minutes being denied a beer? He can be shot at and escape death by an inch on the other side of the world, but at the local Tesco Express or Sainsburys, he cannot get a Heineken!
Yet, as long as you have ID, you can of course get a pint in a pub on any day if you're 18 - what inconsistency.
Who are these measures designed to help? Underage drinkers continue to merrily drink, and antisocial behaviour persists - carried out by people who are inherently criminal/antisocial, and more than occasionally a bit pissed, whatever useless policies are in place regarding the sale of alcohol. Meanwhile, innocent citizens and customers who act responsibly are victimised.
Absolutely fuckin' criminal, I say!
