I’m really at a loss with this one.
Two pensioners from Essex were left stunned when they were asked to show photo identification to buy a bottle of wine.
Jennifer Rogers went to her local One Stop convenience store with a 70-year-old friend.But a staff member refused the sale saying she needed photographic identification to prove her age.
A spokesperson for the store said: “We take the sale of alcohol to underage people extremely seriously.
The rest of the world said: “Oh for f***’s sake!”.
Mind you, take a look at how much wine she pours in the glass. If I was a retailer I wouldnt be turning down her custom!

I am afraid the only rational response to this level of stupidity is to boycott One Stop stores, hit them in the pocket see how quickly their policies will change!
