Paramedic refused wine 'as you're in uniform'

Why didn't one of the people around at the time offer to buy it for him? The great British public have no balls! As for Tesco - what an idiotic policy to have. It's definitely someting that could be tested by some hidden-camera pranks though - what uniforms are ok and which aren't?

So if I go in Tesco's in a clown uniform, they won't serve me? Silly...this guy could have been off duty and on his way home.

A clown would be good - or how about a priest? That would be worth a test too haha

Won't serve alcohol to people in uniform. What in the world is this meant to prevent? Off-duty officers picking up a six-pack on their way home?

If on-duty drinking is such a problem, how do inexplicable store policies help? Not that the police (for example) are good at policing themselves, but who give this duty to Tescos?

A priest would be an awesome test! I want to buy a priest's frock and a plane ticket right now!! Guess I would actually have to get a nun's habit, but, you get the idea...

Tesco's new slogan could be "Mangos to morality...You get it all at Tesco!!"

I thought of the priest as well. But his may be the only uniformed occupation with a legitimate reason to have wine on duty. A 40 of Jack Daniels, however, might raise eyebrows.
