A toyshop banned a little boy from buying a toy with the pocket money he had saved up and told his mum to go to a cashpoint instead. Emily White, 26, says her two-year-old son was stopped from buying a toy airplane at Smyths Toy Superstore after he had saved up for it.
Emily says she found the experience 'disgusting' afer being told her son could not use his own money to buy a toy airplane and a tea set. She says she was told she needed to pay by card or with a note as there is a limit of £10 for people trying to use coins to buy items.
She explained to staff that she had taken her son to spend money he had saved in a money tin, and wanted to treat him. She added that she had gone through the tiring job of separating the money out beforehand "so it wasn't just small change".
