Tesco BANS shopper from buying his son a sandwich until he downloads app

A Tesco customer has spoken of his 'distressing' experience after he was stopped from buying his son a sandwich until he downloaded an app. The dad said he had been refused entry to a Central London Tesco to buy a sandwich for his son's packed lunch unless he signed up for a Clubcard.

Jonathan Rowson took to Twitter to explain what happened, sharing how he went into the Central London shop last Tuesday night to buy the sandwich when an employee told him he had to download the Tesco app and sign up for the Clubcard just to enter.

MyLondon reported that while dad Jonathan was struggling to sign up, in an attempt to help him, a staff member took his phone and changed the option to 'accept Clubcard' before he could refuse. He told the employee he doesn't want a Clubcard, 'he just wants a sandwich'.
