Roll into Tesco

[LeoZwalf]

Gentleman won't get served booze in an Andover Tesco store as he's drunk, so pops back into the car park and Rolls back into the shop... what a nutcase!

6 people injured but not seriously, thankfully.

Sorry if this is a pearoast, couldn't find it anywhere else (looked in GG and News)

Nutter.

is it an offence to buy (or sell) booze at an off license to someone thats pissed?

I've got a cab to many an off license when the BBQ beers are running low..

ETA not defending the guy in the story, he's clearly a head case

I guarantee the store development manager will get it in the neck for not having anti-ram raid bollards installed

Suggests he drove there in the first place?

However, I am getting fed up of Tesco acting as the law!

[Motown Junk]

Drunk?

Owns a Chauffer Company?

To be fair, we don't know the whole story.

If he's nutty enough to drive his car into the shop, he could have been acting a total knob in the shop, and hence was refused service. Any shop would do the same.

Not an offence at all, but see my post above.

Yes, in bars also, when someone has clearly had too much they should not serve them.

Gov website said:

Selling or allowing alcohol to be sold to a drunken person on relevant premises incurrs a maximum level 3 fine of £1,000 or a penalty notice for disorder of £80 under s141 of the Licensing Act 2003 (c17).

Although he failed to break through on his first attempt, he reversed, revved and came back for a second try.

One Tesco worker described yesterday how the man had reversed a long way back to get a “good, clear run”.

sorry but credit where due for determination and finishing the job at hand!!!

[Bing o]

Cas_P is correct

Again terribly upsetting for the people involved, glad no flowers crushed, ants trodden on BUT....

If you're going to do it, do it in style.

You do get some anal staff.

I have been refused the sale of alcohol before, as I didn't have any proof of age.

Now I certainly don't look like a spring chicken, and it was the only time since I was 18.

I then left all my bottles and food on the till, as nothing I could do.

Tesco seem to be the only people who are like this, common sense certainly is lacking.



Slight extreme reaction to Tesco though.

The car didnt look like it had a scratch on it though!!

air tube install looks rubber ducked
