Swedish pensioner without a passport refused to sell cigarettes

64-year-old resident of the city of Gallivare in northern Sweden, Karl-Erik Borg, vowed that his leg will never foot the local supermarket, because he would have refused to sell a stack «Marlborough» without identity cards, which he forgot at home, which could confirm his age. 

According to the pensioner, «if the cashiers can not distinguish a member of the six UN battalions of 18-year-old, why then did they distinguish between banknotes worth 50 and 500 kroner?». 

Curious fact: Borg friend bought the same cigarettes completely unhindered.

«So I'm not insulted yet never in a life », - approves retiree. 

However, the blessing in disguise is not. «This incident is brought me up that I'm going to quit smoking», - said Borg.
