Just a quick reflection here based on your posts, you are only just over 18 and buying $119 worth of a single wine product. By law they are not allowed to sell alcohol to someone who they suspect may be supplying alcohol to minors. (There are also heavy fines and possible loss of licence at stake)
They did the right thing by following the law, not supplying you and you are abusing them.
Perhaps you would like to post what it was you were buying and for what purpose, not that you have to, unless of course you live in the Territory where you would also need to give photo id and the location where that quantity of alcohol would be consumed.
Had they supplied it to you, and you or your mates (assuming you were having a "party") got drunk and wrapped your car around a tree killing yourselve's or as is becomming more common someone else everyone would be up in arms as to why that quantity of alcohol was supplied to a young male (legalities aside)
Having been on the other side it is a thankless job for which everyone always complains.
Perhaps Woolies should actually be congratulated on making sure their staff are following the law when many another outlet would not have, and also the fact the Manager, despite your abuse backed that up.
Now you may have bought it for a present etc etc but as said before perhaps there is a pattern forming......
