Shopper asked for ID for teaspoons
A shopper was left baffled after she was asked for proof of age to buy a set of teaspoons at Asda. The shop assistant reportedly informed the customer that someone had once been murdered with a teaspoon, and therefore age identification was now required.
The woman had also bought plates and picnic ware at the Halifax branch in West Yorkshire, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Peter McCarthy, the Asda Halifax store manager, said he was unaware of the spoon ID rule.
He said: “The customer will have been asked for age identification by the assistant when prompted by the till. I’m not aware of an age restriction for spoons. It’s most likely a mix-up with the bar codes.”
