Don't get me started about ID today!
I ordered a Sharp Zaurus PDA from Japan and went down to the DHL depot this morning to pick it up (it was due to be delivered to work on Monday). Anyway, I had some ID, but nothing with my work address.
They refused point-blank to give me the parcel, though they said they would have done if I had a photo driving licence (WTF?!)
So then I went to Tesco's to get a steak and a bottle of wine for this evening. And the idiot cashier who hardly spoke a word of English said I couldn't buy the wine without ID. Aaaghhhhhh!!!! I'm 28, I don't look particularly young, and I've never been asked for ID before.
I called the supervisor over, and she said that she couldn't overrule the system as the cashier had queried the sale and I didn't have proof of age.
WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST USE SOME COMMON SENSE!!!!!
