I shop at tesco online I enjoy the odd glass of wine with a meal(aboout once every 6 years so sue me!) it is not a criminal offence nor is it a sin... how many of you that railled against the booze smoke...I know at least 1 person...but its way better to be a hypocrite right!!!! Tesco is a multinational food chain...that happens to sell booze... all food chains in the uk do...big / small/ inderpendant /franchised... they have done for about 40 years...and your only just moaning about it...it wouldn't be so bad the yet again this OP misleads with the title.... tesco did not ban any parents...a member of staff made a mistake...WoW...big deal...so what!!!! FWIW in the UK in a private home a child is allowed 1 small alcaholic drink if the child is over the age of 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LadyC Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 cymba, i smoke, and i could care less if they sell alcohol or not, which i thought i was clear on so i'm assuming you're directing this at the people who were voicing their opinions on the evils of alcohol.... but some of us (i think you got this but just in case i'll say it anyway) meant that it is better that they quit selling it at all then to pick and choose who they sell it to. from what i gathered in the OP, it has become the store's POLICY not to sell to anyone who has a minor with them, and wasn't just a mistake by a single employee, and has in fact happened in multiple locations to multiple people. that's what is wrong, not whether they do or don't sell it, but whether they sell to some while refusing to sell to others who are of age.

Totally ridiculous...but truly entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
