You might have more luck if you post this in a more appropriate section. This section is about pensions.

Maybe the shopping forum?

It's their store. They can serve or not serve whoever they like for whatever reason they choose.

Moved to correct area of the forum

As pointed out , they can ban whoever they like

Maybe your husband neglected to tell you you were both banned

As long as it is not one of the protected reasons like race/religion etc


Also OP, it may help next time you make a post to try and use paragraphs and punctuation. A wall of text can be quite difficult to read and will put off some possibly helpful posters from replying.

Your English is sadly quite poor so I'm struggling to follow precisely what happened. It seems to me like your husband plastered reduced barcodes over items which were not supposed to be reduced?

Also, i note this part of your post:

i decided to go sit in the car while he paid

So you were with your husband until it came to paying! There is almost 0% chance that you weren't aware of what he was doing, therefore you would be equally as guilty! The ban is correct. Move on and stop trying to con supermarkets. And I apologise if you are actually innocent (but they can ban you just the same), but even so you need to have some words with the hubby then

(as for your son, yes that is sad that he was so upset. But you only have your husband to blame for all of that! If you are truly innocent then you should be having a go at him )

Half of it makes very little sense but from what I gather.

Husband was trying to steal from Tesco, by placing stickers on things to make them cheaper. Assuming he had also stolen the stickers to do this as they aren't exactly things you have in your back pocket, so there was a planned element.

You knew but didn't stop him and instead sat in the car.

Now Tesco don't want your money as you are associated with your thieving husband and were a party to the initial theft.

Son is upset that his dad is a thief and his mum has no morals.

Other customers were grinning at the Jeremy Kyle situation going on live.

Tesco are somehow to blame.

I am sorry, but it seems like justice to me. You didn't stop your husband putting stickers on things fraudulently. You didn't immediately walk off or insist he put the goods down/remove the stickers so yes, you were party to his actions.

Personally, someone who did that kind of stupid thing, I wouldn't want to be with, in any way. I can't quite see this attitude being a one off.

My ex once was persuaded to lend his car to someone who was going to take some benches from the garden of an empty house. He told me. I immediately said if he did that neither the car nor he would ever come near the house again (and the car was registered to me but it wouldn't have altered my decision if it hadn't been).

He didn't lend his car to this thieving idiot. But it also gave me pause for thought that my ex would even think this was a possible thing to do.

I'm not just moralising.., in your situation it was a very stupid thing for your husband to do.., and for you to not stop him. You could have done.

Shop elsewhere and shop honestly.

You both being banned and husband not telling you sounds far more plausible than Tesco randomly deciding to retrospectively ban you on a particular visit.

You had quite a lot of 'brass neck' to keep shopping there anyway !

Leaving your sons open to embarrassment is also on you both really.

SpammyTheSpammer

Sorry but I agree with the others and also suspect that your husband failed to tell you that you were also banned.

Shop elsewhere, but stop thieving.

It was always going to be an epic fail

Reductions are done with a handheld unit that produces a new barcode sticker , purely Sticking a false sticker on the front would have been a red flag to the till
