Cannot seem to edit my last post.

So does your daughter only eat once a day? You mention 10 pm and your daughter did not eat that day! That would be a big red warning if your daughter does not eat all day and only after 10pm at night.

MSE have made a change so that you have a very short time-span to edit your post.
Read it on another thread.

Yes and that very short time is even shorter than they say. It says 0.5minutes. It is less than a few seconds.

I’m really sorry for you both , it must be difficult.
But complaining that you get stared at- well you will you I’ll get stared at with your daughters behaviour.

I suspect there may be a history of problems at the store, it would explain the staff already being aware of your daughter's condition.

Perhaps the OP and their daughter should try living in Russia where their attitude to the elderly and disabled is "f you".

(And, btw, my wife is Russian and told me this herself.)

I am not sure why you went ahead and bought good you knew she wouldn't eat? Would it not have been better going the following day.
Did you try to get her back to the shop ? What happens if this store closes down?
A friend had a daughter with a fairly similar ailment. She found a support group where they went together to different places- one being a supermarket. She also was advices to join a drama group. I found this a bizarre suggestion but she has never looked back.

A number of points.
Could it be they closed the self scan because you arrived before closing time and knew she was going to take a long time to put her goods through, and would mean the staff May have had to stay late to deal with her?

It occurs to me, that even though this store had gone out of its way to help your daughter, you still seemed quite ungrateful, and complained.

While your daughters condition is complex no doubt , it seems she’s exerting more and more control over people in order to live the way she feels she needs to- but- this really is her problem.

Unless that ban is based on disability, religion, sexuality or race.

As I said - "Without explanation".

OP, please please get some urgent help for your daughter. Meaning this in the nicest of ways, your priority should be her health not the ban from Sainsbury's at the moment.

As other posters have said, how would she cope if the store closed, or if they got rid of the self scan checkouts?

You could ask your daughter's healthcare professional to speak to Sainsbury's after they have addressed her care needs.

It’s the comment that she didn’t eat for seven days which puzzles me.

Why wouldn’t a mother make her meals or give her ingredients to make her own? :cool:
