Man's fury as Tesco refuses to let him buy milkshake for homeless woman.

And let that be a reminder to all those RIGHTEOUS shoppers that feel ENTITLED and adopt a unilateral RIGHT to buy whatever they want from wherever they want. A purchase is an agreement that BOTH parties need to agree to. And whilst I'm sure the manager had their reasons, they don't need one, if they WISH to refuse service

    Well done Tesco! Trying to dissuade a violent threatening person from being around their store and looking after the staff. The man in the article is an idiot and wouldn’t feel the same if their partner or child worked at the store. But no he wants his self righteous saving the homeless with milkshake face in the paper

    I’d say I can’t believe this ended up in the papers but I absolutely can

    I did once buy someone a Subway and the person serving me said that they were always there begging.

    What consumer rights question does the OP need help with? ;)

    “These people are starving”. Well, no, she said she wasn’t hungry.
  • It's about the CONSUMER assuming they have an automatic unilateral RIGHT to buy, when in fact they don't. Doesn't say it has to be a question that needs support
