Staff at a Manchester city centre Lidl say they have been forced to bar schoolkids from entering the store after outbreaks of anti-social behaviour from pupils.
The Manchester Evening News understands that children from certain local schools have been banned from Lidl’s Piccadilly Gardens branch. It comes after some students were caught wreaking havoc on the shop, knocking items off shelves, and causing problems for security staff.
A Lidl spokesperson confirmed there is a “temporary” ban in place while the supermarket works with local schools to try and find a “longer-term” solution. It is also understood that this is not the first time the branch has excluded school children for similar reasons, but that the ban was reintroduced yesterday following a spate of disruptive behaviour.
