I don't know if this store exists in England but it's basically quite a big company here.
Anyway,
So there I was tonight,
Me and a group of friends.
We had just done a deal in a risky part of town with some risky people, to buy boxes of fireworks for a cheap price.
My friend actually pissed himself because we were in such a sectarian area, so he had to stop by this Chinese restraunt to clean up.
He gave me about 2 Quid and whilst my mates remained at the restraunt, I was told to go to the Mace up the street to get a lighter.
My lighter ran out of gas that day and the ******ing bellend had nothing left in his either.
So I walked in all happy,
'How much are your lighters?'
I said to the girl,
'85p...'
I was like 'k awesome' and handed her the money, I was shocked.
She shook her head and said 'You need ID'
Sorry but I mean,
UGH.
So I walked out of the Mace and was like 'Okay um, rightyo..' and walked down to give my mates the bad news.
I found myself in a tough position,
Because:
1. Me and this girl really wanted a smoke and now we couldn't.
2. I dropped my mates money afterwards.
3. We couldn't get the fireworks.
Now, I came home and did some thinking and I came to a conclusion.
THAT was against my human rights.
There is no law, that states a 14 year old lad should not be sold a lighter.
There is no age limit on these products what so ever!
Yes, there is on fags but I could of used that for anything.
Also being the fireworks, YES I know they are illegal too for underaged use but the fact still stands that they had no right to ask for ID.
They COULD of asked what I wanted them for, fair enough but no.
Sorry, so what do you all think I should do?
I plan on entering the shop next time and asking for a lighter and if any of the staff start their bollocking I'll bring up my human rights but I just need some feed back first.
And if that doesn't work I'll ******ing torture the owner on Facebook.
