'Tesco fined me £35 for visiting twice in one day - I will never shop there again'

A woman says she will 'never go back to Tesco' after she claims the supermarket chain fined her £35 when she visited twice in one day. The woman has called the ordeal 'frightening', and says she does not want to 'risk' shopping at Tesco again.

Emily Smith, a 47-year-old, says she was made to feel like a 'criminal' when she contested the fine. Emily has now vowed ‘never to go back’.

The woman says she thought that after dropping by for groceries in the morning there was no harm in popping back to the shop that evening to fill up on fuel. However, she says days later she received a parking fine in the post – accusing her vehicle of being in the car park of the Tesco Extra in Whitfield, Dover, for 10 hours.
