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.
