ASDA has been slammed for its "disgusting" treatment of a mum who was "asked to leave" the store while shopping for birthday cake with her young son.
Leanne Hampson, 39, and Alfie, four, visited the ASDA store on the Greyhound Retail Park, in Chester, on Thursday morning. Leanne was left mortified when she and Alfie, who is partially deaf and is being assessed for ADHD, were approached by security staff after Alfie made "loud, screeching noises".
Leanne, from Ellesmere Port claims that the security guard told her to "either leave the store or control her child" following noise complaints from other customers. The mum-of-five told the ECHO that she "wanted the ground to swallow her up", and the same staff member later added to her fury when, as the pair left the shop, they "patronisingly" gave Alfie a high five and said: "Aw see, you can be quiet".
