Man forced to leave Asda after staff member approached him in shop

A carer felt humiliated after being told to leave an Asda as the staff didn't like the way he shopped.

Matthew Scholes said he visited Asda to do his his weekly shop after finishing a 12 hour night shift at a care home on March 5 - but was then followed around the store by a staff member with a clipboard. The 49-year-old, who worked through the pandemic, said when he got to the alcohol aisle a female worker told him "we have seen you in here before" and "I want you to leave the store right now".

TeesideLive reported how Mr Scholes tried to explain he had done nothing wrong but the staff member kept repeating herself until he felt he had no choice but to put down his basket and leave the shop.
