Man kicked out of Asda because staff 'didn't like the way he shopped'

A carer has vowed to never shop in Asda again after he was told to leave the supermarket because staff didn’t like the way he shopped.

Matthew Scholes was humiliated during the incident on March 5 when he was doing his weekly shop after a 12-hour night shift at a care home. The 49-year-old was being followed by a staff member with a clipboard and was told to leave the store in Thornaby, in Stockton-on-Tees, when he got into the alcohol aisle.

Despite his efforts she kept repeating herself and he had no choice but to put his basket down and leave the shop, reports Teesside Live.
