Can any one find any info on their website? Specifically what kind of proof they accept?

And is there an actual law on what counts as proof of age?

My good friend had his ID card(Issued in Lithuania which is part of EU) and driving licence issued in same country refused. I am just trying to find some info so that we can go to Sainsbury's to prove them wrong.

You can't prove them wrong.

They can refuse whoever they want.

They once refused to serve my sister's boyfriend because I was with him and I was only 17 at the time, he was 24. When he complained the manager said they would do the same to a father and son and asked him to leave the store.

true.

sometimes you need to sell it to them e.g a lady with her 2 year old daughter and the weekly shop with a bottle of wine.

had a few people coming up, a bloke about 40 with a 15-16 year old son/daughter wanting to buy just alcohol.

morons

at least leave the kids in the car.

buying alcohol for someone you know to be underage is illegal. carries a 5k fine (or at least did when i worked in a supermarket 5 years ago).

What the law says
It is against the law:
to be drunk in charge of a child under seven in a public place or on licensed premises
to sell alcohol to someone under 18, anywhere
for an adult to buy or attempt to buy alcohol on behalf of someone under 18
for someone under 18 to buy alcohol, attempt to buy alcohol or to be sold alcohol in any circumstances (unless acting at the request of the police or a weights and measures inspector)
for someone under 18 to drink alcohol in licensed premises, with one exception - 16 and 17 year olds accompanied by an adult can drink but not buy beer, wine and cider with a table meal
for an adult to buy alcohol for a person under 18 for consumption on licensed premises, except as above

from the official website.

Why?

Not serving a parent with their kids, no matter what age, shows an unbelievable lack of common sense.

You can buy alcohol for yourself and let your child drink it. Also he wasn't just buying alcohol it was a food shop and he was just getting some beer with it

the law is the law. blame whoever made it, i wasn't risking a 5k fine so some lager lout cunt can get his weekly fix of strongbow.

18 year old? as long as they had ID they would be fine.

we all got given leaflets about it when i worked there.

phone up a supermarket and ask them.

A woman where I worked got fined £1000 a couple years back for serving someone who was underaged but a lot of it is common sense altho its so hard to guess how old someone is, I hate doing it but would rather ask someone for id than risk getting fined.

It's not the law it's the store policy, when my sister worked at Tesco she was told it was at the cashiers discretion

Any child aged five or over can drink alcohol at home or on other private premises but children under the age of five can only drink alcohol on a doctor's advice for health reasons.

http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/index/your_family/family_index_ew/faq_index_family/faq_family_legal_age_drinking_and_smoking.htm

from the link.... its not illegal for a parent to buy alchohol for a child if its to be consumed at home

EU driving licence is exactly the same as UK one, so should be accepted anywhere. But some doormen are thick, when my Finnish friends were here we tried to get into a club and they started saying her driving licence was a blatant fake. Then tried to confiscate it, luckly the manager had some more sense, but by then we told them to fuck off and went elsewhere.
