I recently remembered years ago when I had a Saturday job at WHSmiths, this kid tried to buy an over 15 movie. As per my job I asked him "Are you 15 or older?".
He said "No, I'm 12".

After a few seconds iof silence I said "Don't you mean you're 15?"
"No I'm 12".
"Well you can't buy it then, you're too young."
"But I really want the movie and I've got the cash."
By now the other people in the queue were getting annoyed.
"Look I said, I'll get fired if I sell this movie to someone who has TOLD me they're too young to buy it."
At that point, the bloke next in line asked "What if he gives me the money, I buy it and then I give the movie to him."
"Fine by me!!!"
Ok, so maybe not my finest moment for preventing underage movie viewing but good evidence that some people need basic education in common sense.
(Kind of ironic that this happened to me in a pub but then I honestly had forgotten it was an over 21 pub).
Bear --- I hiope the boot is clean! Hate the idea of having to drink out of something someone's smelly sweaty foot has been in.
