Alcohol - what's new ?

[scottishbride]

I worked at the Supermarket called Co-operative Food. And there are loads of teenagers and under age trying to buy Alcohol from us. They actually goes to me all the time They really think I am stupid to let them buy it without asking ID. They normally swear and become abusive! The Co-op normally banned this teenagers. I remembered serving one guy who is very drunk! And he is known alcoholic in my area. He was abusive to me when I refused him.. Swear a lot! We are very strict when it comes to underage and intoxicated customers. I also remembered one American who is buying loads of BEER after 10 pm. and we refused him as the alcohol license is only until 10 pm. He was very angry and said, WHAT KIND OF LAW IS THAT?

The supermarket needs to have the means to cordon off the alcohol shelving so that it is obvious to potential purchasers that it's after 10pm and no sales of alcohol allowed.

We actually have reminder of license hours for alcohol near at Alcohol Shelves and all the check out area. But people seems ignore it. Then, when you try to explain to them they get really annoyed.

... joking aside, though, the problem of underage drinking seems to be reaching endemic proportions in Scotland ... and is especially bad at weekends.

Yes, Arthur. I see this people everyday. Same faces and still they will try to buy even you refuses them many times.. I read in one article that if you are Alcoholic you will be given benefits because of that!? I don't know if it's true..
