While in Wilkinsons on Monday, lining up to pay, I saw that the lady in front of me was asking for her ID. I thought she must have bought a load of tablets or similiar -- She bought small plastic knives, forks and spoons.
Safety gone mad?

It is a bit bonkers, I bought a spade from Tesco once and had to show ID. I think they thought I was planning on burying a body.

I pointed out to the supervisor that I could easily cave someone's head in with a tin of beans and nobody ever queried that.

From my days running an online purchasing system, I would say that someone has wrongly classified the plastic knives as just knives, therefore the till will flag them up as dangerous weapons.

Daft, eh?
