The Wetherspoons Effect

1) When you go into a pub or a bar (in the UK mostly) and you are either underage or merely old enough to drink and you are with your parents or another clearly grown adult and they order you a beer or a cider and the bartender notices that even though they might be ordering it, you are drinking it and on the basis of them knowing that your going to drink it they ask you for ID.

2) When a group of youths the same age walk into a pub or bar and when one person orders who drink the bartender asks the whole group for ID. Basically if each and every one of the group doesn't have ID then none of them will get served.

Both of these scenarios are typical of Wetherspoons as they are well known for being extremely strict when it comes to asking for ID and they do not appreciate one bit any scummy underagers on their premises getting boozed up under any circumstances.
*Father and son walk into bar*
Father: Hello, could I have two pints of Stella please.
Bartender: Is one of those for that lad sat on the table over there?
Father: Well yes.
Bartender: Could I check that lads ID please?
*Son overhears and walks over*
Son: Well The Wetherspoons Effect has most certainly kicked in hasn't it!
