Now I'm getting confused , am I correct in assuming that a shop can refuse to sell you an item on the shelf just because they dont like the look of your face ? (the case of pub staff serving someone intoxicated is a different matter ) surely if the customer can prove he/she is of or above the legal age they are entitled to the same service as crotchety 70 yr old .
OK I will admit that shops have the right to refuse service and bar undesirable customers from their premises (street people /known shoplifters etc.) but i fail to see how a business can be selective in what it will sell to this person , surely a 20 yr old who is permitted to buy a pound of bacon is also entitled to all other goods offered by the same establishment .Could the same store be allowed to refuse an obese customer the same pound of bacon on health grounds ?
Does a person selling a house have the same rights to tell a prospective buyer , "no I'm not selling my house to you , I dont like the look of you" , I think not
