Being asked for ID for Red Bull etc

You'd think so aye, just going off what I've just read in the article.

I can't understand them not going for a prosecution, unless there isn't decent CCTV.

Police are searching for a white male, aged 20-30, between 5’8 and 6’0, wearing a dark grey tracksuit.

So far they’ve arrested half of Willington.

Oh it’s a great idea.

It’s just annoying that I’m 11 years too old to be asked for ID and yet they still ask me or stop me at self-checkouts.

I work in a shop, the rules applied are the ‘Think 25’ set that are the same used for alcohol, tobacco and lottery (although it’s less strict for lottery, I think).
So someone isn’t thinking you’re under 16, they’re thinking you’re under 25.

The issue is, people are sent in to check this sort of thing all the time (which I hate and would ban) and even if someone sells something to someone over 18 but under 25 without asking for ID there’s hell on. Really unfair, quite frankly.
