Supermarket staff refused to sell alcohol to a white-haired 72-year-old man - because he would not confirm he was over 21

Mr Ralls asked to see the manager who put the wine back on the shelf.
The grandfather-of-three said he had refused to confirm he was over 21 as it was a "stupid question." "I applaud any efforts to stop kids being served and standing on street corners getting drunk. But this was just totally stupid." Full Story - Wine Enthusiast Magazine - Marlboro Cigarettes - The Wine Messenger
