The age for cigs went up to 18 on monday in Northern Ireland


BUT its my companys policy that we have to id anyone that looks 21 or younger, and put it in a book so it proves they're 18, but its impossible to tell peoples ages, and everyone gets so angry when you ask them for ID LOL.

But we have to do it, because we get secret shoppers in who could be any age asking..

Hardly stupid, thats how it is over in England. :S

If you ask em for ID, it's their fault if they have it on them or not. I'd be complimented if I were older and got asked for ID, it'd make me feel younger lol. God I've been talkin to me mum too much, but yeah, why would someone get angry over it? Silly irish.l

most people dont know its changed, and get confused and think its 21, and then others are like 'i left my id at home sorry' when they look 16, but keep at you they're 22 LOL, get really angry and start swearing at you. I also had to ID this guy who stabbed someone, hes scary.

And then the refuses book, you have to keep filling it in. Then you get the ones with fake ids blahhhhhh its just so annoying.




and to jake, if i just sold it to them, i could get a £5000 fine

the fake IDs, just accept it cuz your the seller and its not your responsibility. I doubt you can tell whose got fake ID and who has, but report if you find someone with it. Dont you have to wear a badge saying the law has changed or sommint? That's what shops round here do. If they've left their ID at home, it's their friggin fault yknow? Tell them to go to another shop, they'll probs get knocked back there anyway.

Tis what I'd do, even though I'd wanna give em a faceful of lip.

hah the phrase 'the customer is always right' is completely wrong, it was obviously invented by a customer.

Turning? You only have yourself to blame ;) Plus as far as I am aware you've always been a bit of a *wink wink, nudge nudge*

I think, in some circumstances, a company should have the right to tell customers where to go. Like some customers who try to get freebies because their food wasn't quite right, as in the food didn't appear on the plate as you thought it should or some things were out of place, even though the food itself is good. Not sure how anything like that could happen in a clothes, food or entertainment shopping industry, but people who complain about tiny things like how food appears on a plate annoys me, when they could of done it themselves to stop the hassle on the people serving and making the food.

think about it, alot of 17 year olds can LOOK 18, its basically to make sure we are selling them to the right age lol
