Supermarket Lidl has apologised to a shopper who said he was "made to feel like a criminal" when he was wrongly accused of stealing jam. Mike Stubbs said staff put him through a "humiliating" bag search.
Mike, 70 and a diabetic, said he had been to see his GP and had stopped off at Lidl to pick up a low-sugar jam after finding it difficult to find it in other shops. He said he went to pick up the product and was carrying a shoulder bag.
Mike said they didn't have the jam he was looking for, so he headed for the exit of the Kidsgrove supermarket in Staffordshire, reports StokeonTrentLive. He said it was then that a member of staff stopped him and "aggressivel" asked to see inside his bag.
