A pensioner who claims he has lost sleep after being reportedly "abused" by staff at Wetherspoons has vowed to never return to the pub.
Owen McEverley said he visited Wetherspoons at Metrocentre, Gateshead, with his wife Maureen, 84, at around 3.30pm on Thursday, November 17. But they were left shocked by the customer service they received when Owen "waved" a female member of staff over to clean their table.
Owen, from High Spen, said: "I'm really upset. I've hardly slept, I've had a headache for a week, it's really, really upsetting and there's no way we're going back there anymore.
