    i do because staff said my friend was drunk when she wasnt and also the refusal to sell something normal that thre is no reason to refuse. what is anyone going to do with a tealight!

    No you don't. Any retailer can refuse to sell anything to anyone.

    They can ask you to leave their premises for any reason.

    As long as they were not discriminating against the person under a protected right (which they weren't).

    Move on with life.

    Your friend should be the one making a complaint.

    Were you with her at the time of the attempted purchase?

    You can't burn down anything with a candle.

    I don't see any mention of matches or a lighter being bought at the same time and anyone intent on arson would just use the matches or lighter, not bother to light a bloomin candle so that the fire smelt nice.

    You lost my sympathy as soon as he got angry for being refused service of tealights.

    If you get angry because you cannot buy tealights, you need help with your temper.

    Are you being deliberately obtuse?

    Leaving a lit candle unattended (which kids who don't understand risk might do) is a fairly common cause of house fires.

    er i wasnt drunk. what right does someone who probably doesnt drink alcohol have to say that i might be drunk on a sunday after noon. makes no sense why would anyone go shopping on a sunday if they were drunk.

    Thought you were posting about 'your friend'. Are you changing your story now?

    Or merely trolling for a reaction?
