Quoting from 00:26, 27th Oct 2006
As a member of staff at Alldays i would like to say first, to anyone who was so rude to generalise the fact that all the staff there are idiots are totally out of order - i wouldnt be doing my masters degree here if i was stupid!
We as members of staff have been told not only by our manager but by the police, that we have to tighten up on positive identification.
I myself was used as an internal test across many shops around fife and a lot of shops failed and got fined - two people lost their jobs!! I really dont think some of you realise the c**p that we have to deal with from some customers - is it our fault that we follow shop policies. I am here to get my degree not a criminal record which is what i can get if i sell an age related item to someone underage. Plus a disiplinary from my work and could face the sack!
The over 21 rule is there to protect me as a member of staff and i will say if you dont like the rule go somewhere else, but dont be so hypicritical when there is nowhere else in st-andrews open to come back.
I am probably sure that when you were 16 you went out into bars and got served for alcohol and thats because it can be really hard to tell someones age, hence the 21 rule is there as a precaution to make sure i wont ever slip up!
When multiple people come up to the till with alcohol they will all be asked to present ID that is what our company policy states and thats what we do.
No matriculation cards are accepted in our shops across the country and to that we have to adhire too, we do accept provisionals and many other forms of ID, if you want alcohol/tobacco bring ID its simple.
I would like to present a question to all those of you who did complain - have you ever worked in a job selling age related items, i am pritty sure the answer will be no. If you have ever been subjected to the abuse that i have gotten for simply doing my job, you wouldnt complain!

i didnt say i was consistant, just right!
