SO I went to my local Tesco in Evesham to buy a sandwich when I noticed the huge display of one-litre spirits on offer just inside the door.
I rather fancied a bottle of spiced rum so in the basket it went.
As I approached the self-service checkouts I clocked a member of staff, knowing that the bottle had to de-alarmed before leaving the store.
This member of staff, who I assume was in a managerial position showing a new employee around, challenged me for ID.
Completely taken by surprise I replied that I did not have any ID and was she joking?
After an embarrassing few minutes in front of everyone, she eventually let me have the bottle after I told her I was 52 years old next month!
Perhaps I should have been flattered, but I left the store feeling quite flustered about the whole experience.
I'll continue to shop at Morrisons from now on.
