The checkout operators then asked them for ID, and one of them didn't have any. I was then refused service on the grounds that I might be supplying them with alcohol.

How can they justify this policy, as most people with children have to take them to the shops with them? Are they all refused alcohol? I don't think so.
Even on questioning their decision I was told that the checkout operator's decision was final even though the situation was clearly ridiculous.
