'It’s a gentleman’s drink, it’s not something you’d find kids drinking in a park' 😡
A mum-of-three says she was left embarrassed and angry after being refused alcohol while shopping in Aldi with her daughters.
A spokesperson for the supermarket chain has confirmed to LancsLive a Challenge 25 policy is in operation at all its UK stores. And this applies to when the alcohol is potentially purchased for others. Kelly claims service was initially refused because the staff didn’t believe she was actually the girls’ mum. “I even started to get photographs on my phone, it started to make a bit of a scene because people were staring at us trying to look through my phone."
Like other supermarkets, the store operates a Challenge 25 policy which means anyone who is purchasing alcohol and looks under the age of 25 must show ID. Kelly told LancsLive that she “supports and abides by” that rule but thought it was ridiculous that teenagers would be wanting lager and Newcastle Brown Ale.Kelly continued: “As far as I’m concerned, it’s the same principle, no matter the age of the children.
