Dying woman says she was banned from Lidl after being 'mistaken for drug addict'

She says she was confronted by the guard when she popped in to buy beer for her son and use the toilet earlier this month. Karen, who suffers from lung condition emphysema and brittle bone disease, says the guard allowed her to use the loo. However, when she returned to the security guard at the store in Stratford Road, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, she claimed he told her she was banned.
