    This reminds me of the thread where a white customer claimed to be chucked out of a supermarket by the asian staff for attempting to buy booze during ramadan.:rotfl:

    Can't remember if that was Tesco's or Asda though.

    That one was about Asda, they're all asian you know(according to that poster)!

    Another thread idea. Tesco have discontinued their Finest Croissants thereby discriminating against the rich.


    ...or they've stopped selling white bread and now only sell brown bread?

    I've just realised we haven't had the annual complaint that local authorities are banning mention of Christmas as it's supposedly offensive to Islam. Mocking that is part of my christmas ritual

    :O Dont you know that no decent or rich people shop in tesco and its all chav scum that walk around the shop eating stuff before they've paid for it, while their kids apparently run riot. Its all an elaborate ruse.....the kids act as a distraction while mum n dad pocket games and remove the security tag with a magnet they've just picked up for camera repairs (even though the only camera they have is on their chav phone). Of course they'll then be tackled by a huge "ethnic" security guard who treats them like a criminal, they will suffer some physical injuries during the process (along with mental anguish) and will want the number of a no win no fee solicitor in order to claim for their ordeal. Oh and I forgot.....Tesco refused to sell chav dad a 15 dvd because he couldnt prove he wasnt going to give it to the kids.

    I have been shopping in Tesco for as long as I can remember and have been going to the same store for nearly ten years now.

    Today I nipped into the store just to pick up a few things, parked the car and headed to the store entrance. Upon entering the store, a security guard suddenly rushed over from his station and stood in front of me with his arms out. He said he was not going to allow me to enter the store and that I was to leave.

    So now I am completely confused as to what is going on. I aked what was happening, but was simply told that I was barred from the store, knew it and must leave. I said he must have the wrong person, but he called some other staff over who effectively surrounded me. He then said if I did not leave, the police would be called and I would be charged with trespass. I asked again what I had done wrong, but all he would say is "you know you're barred, just go". I really had no idea what he was on about.

    The whole scenario was so embarassing, I turned to leave the store and as I did the security guard followed behind, pushed me and I fell. I got up and told the guard I would be calling the police and he replied that they would believe him and the store manager over scum like me. I demanded to see the manager htere and then and was told once again, if I did not leave straight away, they would detain me, call the police and have the book thrown at me. I really have no idea what he was on about.

    At this point, I had had enough and just very quickly walked out the store with everyone looking. Obviously I am going to complain to Tesco about the incident and I will not be shopping there again, but I really don't know what the best thing to do next would be. Could I press assault charges? Would I be due any compensation for the incident? It really is an awful position. Definitely won't be going back, that's for sure.

    I believe there was an element of racism involved. The security guard was Asian and so was the manager, evidently the threat of a white customer entering their store was enough to elicit this response.

    Tesco turns racist overnight after putting up with white trash shoplifters for ten years? You can do better than that. :rotfl:
