Guest tv tanned Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 ...are people who are blatantly underage posting long stories of their drunken escapades in some of Aberdeen's pubs and clubs, and then posting gallery pictures as documentary evidence, complete with comments like 'Is that you in the bassment?' 'lol, yeh i was wasted'?!?!Is it just me, or does that seem like a rather silly thing to be doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Groupie Supreme Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Yeah, there is a certain user that I have noticed does that. It is so silly, you are just asking to be caught out when staff etc from the bassment use these boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tv tanned Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 one may appeal to common sense' date=' but in aberdeen it doesnt really apply..it does and always has had an inordinate number of underage teens out in town when it's long past their bedtime.[/quote']No no, you misunderstandBy all means let them go out if they feel they must.But posting evidence when the owners and staff members use the boards seems, well, thick.

Guest bluesxman Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I was out for a few beers with my younger band mate a couple months ago and he tried to take me to the RGU and I was refused entry for having no photo ID. I'm 33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 33. Possibly due to that fact that it's a private club and non-members need photographic proof of ID, rather than just age. I'm not sure but I'm guessing that'll be it.

I'm 33. Nobody should expect to get into a place which is meant to serve over 18s without ID, thats just stupid, they ask for ID so they can prove your age. If you are over age and dont have ID then it is your own fault and you should feel stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Amy* Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Yes indeed, and the main offenders are good friends with workers of these said establishments. Very naughty. I'd love to bust underagers asses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moshulu Rob Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Nice work Tv Tanned. A quick browse through the gallery found a couple of people who are going to require ID on their next visit : oops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metarie Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 There is no greater satisfaction I can get at work than IDing an underage kid. Especially amusing if I know them and they think I'll serve them just because we're kinda friends. I am not risking getting personally fined something like 1000 just because they know my name.

Guest MerryChristmas Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Yeah OK. Imbecile.What would you prefer if you were working? let a few scrawny underagers in and face a huge fine and losing your livelihood, or not let them in?I know what I would do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 i like it when 12 year olds come in to game and try and buy grand theft auto. some of them look geniunely surprised when we id them, the poor silly fools. the law is much the same for rated games and videos as it is for booze.

Especially amusing if I know them and they think I'll serve them just because we're kinda friends. I am not risking getting personally fined something like 1000 just because they know my name. it does feel great. but only when i dont know them. i hate being in the situation of knowing underagers who want to drink. i was ok in the last job cause i was at uni so there were only two people i knew who werent 18. and i just told them i wouldnt serve them but wasnt going to grass them up. but im glad ive not been working in drummonds on a couple of occasions when a certain group of underages have been there. cause i know they hate me for rejecying them. whats worse is when you know someone is 18 and they're buying a drink for an underager as well as themself. its hard sometimes to say you can only serve them one drink... and they'll just come back again and cause they're 18 i cant do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tv tanned Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 actually if you see them providing drink to an underager, by whatever means, you can have them ejected from the premises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catherine Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 suppose. i need to learn to be more mean. its just hard when you know the people. i really dont like making enemies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
