donuticus Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 It wasn't a check out, she was behind a counter selling a product no one could see, try doing your shopping with a blindfold on, I don't think you'll buy much. Surely you've pretty much backed up the point of the law with that comment? If people can't see the product they want they might not buy it.

In this case addiction takes preference to not seeing a product, it's the anti smoking lot at it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummmm...call me pedantic, but isn't that statement kinda wrong? If it's a product they 'want'...why would they be not likely to buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJRB Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 She was misinterpreting the law (or whoever trained her was). This is a summary of the legislation: Stores are allowed to display tobacco products temporarily in some circumstances: • Following requests to buy or view tobacco by customers over 18 (age checks must be carried out before showing them tobacco product) • Incidental displays while staff are: restocking, assessing stock levels, cleaning, maintaining or refurbishing the storage unit or undertaking staff training • In specified circumstances by bulk tobacconists or specialist tobacconists • Following a request by an enforcement officer. This is taken from an ASH briefing, so not entirely an unbiased source, but they probabably know more than most. Thanks for that Olive. When I've got a bit of time and feel in the mood I will quote it to the Morrisons manager and see what response I get. Just one thing regarding what are after all tobacco kiosks.If the sight of cigarette packets is such a temptation,why do they also serve newspapers,lottery tickets and of course sweets at the same counter. Now I am getting drawn into the above smoking arguments when I really wanted to have a go at jobsworths. ---------- Post added 20-05-2013 at 15:22 ---------- Display as a consequence of a requested display 4.—(1) This regulation applies where a requested display(1) is made to an individual (“A”) aged 18 or over.
