A 75-year-old man and his wife have been banned from Aldi's Washington Parade store in Bootle after a dispute at the checkout. The supermarket said the ban followed an incident in which a member of staff was verbally abused.
Anthony Taylor and his wife Regina, 65, said the disagreement began when they were asked to unload their entire trolley for scanning. Mr Taylor, who has arthritis, said he struggled to lift the items and declined to do so. The couple, who had shopped at the branch for years, said they were shocked to be told they could no longer return.
