my 26 year old daughter was buying groceries & cider from ASDA she was id'd by the check out person and was refused the cider because my 14 year old niece was with her.My daughter holds a personal alcohol retail licence issued by the local authority.The manager said that selling alcohol was at the check out persons discretion.This is beaurocracy gone mad adults with under 18's not being allowed to buy alcohol.My daughter works for a multi-national company and in the hospitality industry and she swears she will never go back into asdas and will be advising all her friends, co-workers and clients about her humiliating experience and advising them to shop at the rival stores where the staff use common sense.
