    What's the age minimum for buying a bag of Crushed ice?

    My 6',6" tall 21 year old sold drives into a Bottle 'O to buy a bag of crushed iced. He gets asked for I.D. How ridiculous, for a start he was driving in, so is old enough to have a Driver's Licence and was on green P plates.

    The attendant could of been dropped at birth or have a medical condition that has affected the ability to recognise obvious facts that are directly in front of them. Either way that person right there is a part of humanity's future. Scary isn't it.

    how did you think up that reply?

    the attendant has possibly been told to question any persons id he may have doubts about.

    it is a licensed premises.

    Used to get asked for ID regularly in my local drive through - apparently younger kids would borrow their older brothers or Dads car and take it through the drive through to get grog.

    But to be asked when buying a bag of ice bit is a bit mystifying though...
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    I agree that the attendant is doing what they were asked to do and I was a bit overzealous with my first post.

    I thought it was rather humourous

    some common sense needs to be applied to the rules in this case.
