I'll take my money elsewhere then...

TaBunny

I went into a sweetshop today on a mobility scooter and it was very tight so I asked the middle aged chap behind the counter if he could get me a minty aero which I could clearly see on the shelves just to the left of him but out of my reach and I stretched out my pound coin as far as I could, not being able to get close to the counter due to hoards of piles of papers. The guy looked at me, shrugged and pointed to them. I again smiled and repeated that I could not reach them as there was not enough space to get through and he again said to me in a raised voice "if you want one they are there". Oh my god the rudeness.

Another lady customer overheard the conversation and offered to hand me the aero but by this time the rude man had upset me so much I politely declined her offer and told her I would rather take my money elsewhere. Now I know I was only spending 42p but the damn rudeness and uncaring attitude of this guy was disgusting it really upset me.

There now thats better vent over ;D

Sounds like a breach of the Disability Discrimination Act to me!

Hey, why not give him some free advertising and name the shop, that should hit him in the pocket if people make a point of avoiding this ignorant man's shop

Hope you are feeling better now, morons like that deserve to be shot!

Good on you TaBunny for that stand.

This is definitely an example of discrimination under the Disability Discrimination Act.

Do you have the address of this place ? please would send it to me via this site as I would like to write a letter of complaint as would advise anyone else to as this is down right discusting.

you could also write a letter to your local free newspaper naming the shop, then maybe a few other people would stop shopping there too lol!
