92-year-old refused sale of alcohol - Unexplained Mysteries
"A 92-year-old was refused a bottle of whisky because she couldn't produce proof that she was over 18.
Despite showing her over-60s bus pass, an OAP card and a pacemaker certificate Diane Taylor was still refused sale of the drink at a local store in Essex because she didn't have a driving license or passport. "I don't see how anyone could look at me and think I needed to prove my age," she said. A spokesman for the store maintained that the policy was necessary for legal reasons."
Her son ,who is seventy ,went in later and got the same treatment Apparently it was at a One stop shop which are owned by Tesco.We have one of those in our village and I certainly never had that BS thrown at me.
