LOL the moment i read your post a firework went off.
they have been going off all evening for some reason.
haha..
We get them once/twise a year.. only fireworks night and the odd birthday, i love the quiet village life
People will still do it thought, won't stop the kids in streets doing it, they don't care..
It's worse around bonfire night and New Year obviously. And for ages after New Year, 'cause they're all getting rid of the left over ones. Gah.
You are fucking lucky. Try living in suburbia. You might just as well try and kip in the middle of a ship's engine room.
Why is my work the only place around that's responsible enough to a) ask for ID for anyone who looks under 25 and b) refuse a sale to people we don't like the look of?
Little thing called money...
I suppose we're lucky we dont have them
We have to make a profit too! It's not as if we don't need to sell them to make our turnover.
Yup, but at my work we have to like the look of you as well as see ID.
I'm now a supervisor which means I get a say on whether or not you get fireworks! (not you personally, I mean the public in general)
I wouldn't buy them anyway...I'm too scared of setting myself on fire..
Wooh, if I want to I can buy fireworks this year
Is it not a little prejudiced to not sell fireworks to someone not liking the look of them? I look like a decent person, but you never really know if you can trust me
Even got a trick or treater last week. Don't know what the hell he was. He was wearing a towel over his head and a black bag round his waste. Told him to come back on Halloween and to make some effort next time.
Well, the way I see it, alcohol, you mainly hurt yourself, cigarettes, you mainly hurt yourself, but fireworks are very very VERY dangerous objects, and i'd rather be absolutely sure that the client will be responsible with them, rather than sell them to anyone over 18 and end up with them going horizontally down the high street.
I guess so. But you have to be careful, because even people who don't look dodgy very often are. But then you can't decline everyone fireworks, can ya?
The joys of Halton Moor.
No, but he uses the special Debrett's algorithm.
you're not alone believe me
The what now? :eek2:
Well, it's all judgement, and we have a three-man team making the decisions whether or not to sell fireworks. However, if someone is 18 but is very obviously going to act like a complete idiot, we are perfectly within our rights, and within moral obligations, to withold sale. For everyone else, we just have to make a decision and just hope, we've done all we can then.
Actually, we use a 2 out of 3 majority system, and if 2 people are happy then the sale goes through. It's just how sensible you look. If you look like an arse, you can be 25 and you can still bugger off.
yeah but some people cant help looking like arses
