QuoteA BAFFLED shopper was told she would need to show ID to buy fruit – in case it fermented and turned alcoholic.

QuoteBut the response from Tesco wasn't what she was expecting – as well as apologising for bad customer service she was told all fruit might soon be age-verified incase "natural fermentation" takes place.

Fuck knows?

No wonder they're a business in decline, they have gone mad.

Bricks of concentrated grape were sold during the prohibition era that contained the following warning on the pack:

Why's this in technology? Been hitting the melon again?

I was hoping Tesco were unveiling a new machine which could tell how long it was since the fruit had been picked.

QuoteShocked Kate, from Cattedown, said she "fell about laughing" when she heard the packet of melon and grape she bought at Tesco on New George Street might require ID.

QuoteInformation administrator Kate said: "When I got the response from Tesco I told my friend at work and we fell about laughing – it's just incredulous. You couldn't make it up.

TWICE! I bet she had that phrase ironed on her shirt for that phot-op as well but it got cropped.

Quote"It's just incredulous"

For fucks sake...

QuoteI made a joke about the melon being security tagged and she actively blanked me

I get the impression this woman is a pain in the arse.

All the same, how out of date and rammy are Tescos fruit products if that shit is fermenting in the store?

The penny pinching cunts can't be bothered to employ someone to check if food is still viable?
