It gets madder than that.

Our local supermarket has the following sign at every checkout

" It is an offence to sell alcohol to anyone under the age of 18.
Anyone appearing to be under the age of 25 will be asked for proof of
age and no sale of alcohol will be made until satisfactory evidence is
produced that the purchaser is 18 or over. "

I bought a bottle of wine the other day and the till operator (well
under 25) rang for assistance and said politely "I have to get a
supervisor to confirm when a customer looks over 25".

White hair is such a giveaway...
