They do not accept European ID cards to buy age restricted items in this store.

I am 24 years old and I tried to buy paracetamol (painkillers are sold to people over 16) and was told by the cashier (in a very patronising way) that I couldn't buy them because my ID wasn't 'real ID' and I didn't have proof that I was over 16.

I explained that European IDs are accepted by the UK government and all EU countries as valid forms of ID, and that this is the ID that I use to enter the country and do everything in it. But still I was treated by the cashier like I was a child committing identity fraud.... Not coming back.
