Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Something tells me this story is going to be controversial.
Tesco, one of the largest supermarket chains in England, has banned the sale of alcohol if parents are with their children while buying the alcohol. This isn't just in cases where an underage child might help the parents carry alcohol to the checkout, it's for all cases where a child is with a parent. In one case, a cashier didn't sell the alcohol to a man because the cashier didn't believe that the man wasn't going to share the alcohol with his daughter. The man is a well-known medium who has his own TV show (I would think if he was a medium he would have seen this coming).
I like how some parents call the rule "daft." We really need to use that word more here in the U.S.

It sounds like it was the local police pressuring TESCO, the food store, to institute the policy. In the US if local police decided to enforce a rule like that (not a law in this case) by privately pressuring the food stores, the local media would catch wind of the story and splash it everywhere. It's quite likely the store would be sued by an irrate customer, and the police chief would be scrambling to keep his job.

I cook with wine and sherry, and the occaisional beer. My kids would never get to have a good beer brat, cheese fondue (either swiss or the cheddar/guiness variety), pot roast, etc if I couldn't buy alcohol. I'd prefer to shop without the kids, but that's not always possible. Just think of all the single parents out there who never shop without their kids...they're the ones who could *really* use a glass of wine before bed...

I don't really get what the big ho-ha is, really.
Do they sell cigs in this store, too? What about OTC drugs? Are those banned as well?
