Have you ever worked in a place where you have to ID people? No?
Thats odd, I have. Actually, I do right now. Mine is a bit different from Poseidons, since mine is a military airforce base, but still, after a while you learn to determine stuff by just looking at peoples faces. Its not guessing, its a fucking 6th sense.

Rational it all you want, I'm sure if you ever slipped up you'd say, "BUT I HAVE A SIXTH SENSE! THERES NO WAY THAT GUY WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!" and I'm sure everyone would be like, "Oh, well he has a sixth sense how could he possibly be wrong!"

And where was this "Sixth Sense" for poseidon? It worked so well he sold alcohol to a minor!

Very true. Maybe not so much a 6th sense but you generally know if someone is over 18 or not. Yeah I can "slip up" - this is one of them times, I do ask for ID alot for both cigs, scratchcards, alcohol etc. Our refusal sales book is full of my signature. I never guess if someone is 18, if I am 100% that someone is of legal age i'll sell the product to them, otherwise I ask for ID, this once I made an a mistake.

[quote="Sgt>Stackem":39a24]I see its the cops fault your sold to minors, do your job and this wont happen. Card anyone under 40[/quote:39a24]

quote me on where I blamed the police for me selling to minors? I know I was wrong, but I wasnt saying it was anyone elses fault. I'm just saying I don't deserve a £80 fine, for doing my fucking job. Have you ever worked in an off licence? Once you do you will find out how hard it is to determine (at times) how old someone is. I've ID'd a 26 year old before, even though she looked 18 I asked anyway cause I couldnt be sure. Just because once I made a slipup doesnt necessarily mean I deserve a £80 fine.

The next time a policeman come into the shop to buy something, tell him to fuck himself up the ass with his truncheon. Then stand on the counter and urinate on him.

you were wrong, you broke the law, you get fined. Its not the cops fault you get fined. You were just being lazy, thats all. Its not the end of the world, it just sucks to be you right now. pay up and hope you dont get a record over something as trivial as this

Proteus · 07-18-2005, 01:15 PM

Who cares. So he sold alcohol to a minor. What the fuck isn't there bigger problems to deal with? I'm not saying the cops were being douches it's what they should have done but right now why are people bitching about it?

Stammer · 07-18-2005, 01:19 PM

It goes both ways, Posideon should always check ID, and the Police should be off doing more productive things than setting up stings on clerks.

Pyro · 07-18-2005, 01:38 PM

It's your fault for selling to kids...start fucking doing your job.

Sgt>Stackem · 07-18-2005, 01:44 PM

I dont think they do this to get the people selling, they do it to get the people seeling to stop selling to minors. What if that kid got in an accident? You could have been on the wrong end of a lawsuit, its to protect you more than them. By doing this they 9the police) are making thier job easier. The tougher they are on people selling to minors the less minors will get booze/beer and be the drunk thats out around midnight screwing crap up, so less police calls.

Remeber to CYA.......always CYA

Give the guy a break, let him have a bitch about it. Life sucks, and you can't be on point for it 24/7, it's natural to make mistakes and slip-up....He never blamed the cops....So don't feel the need to give him shit about it.
