Woman in sick anti-mask rant at Aldi checkout calling innocent staff paedophiles

A woman gave supermarket workers a vile verbal barrage for wearing face coverings as they served customers.

She launched the tirade at Aldi staff for continuing to wear the masks in Porthmadog, Wales.

She allegedly went on to brand them "paedophiles" and "idiots" as stunned shoppers were left shocked by the baffling attack, North Wales Live report.

A video of the exchange at the checkout at the branch was filmed and uploaded to social media as she launched into staff.

The woman carried on screaming as she packed away her groceries in the car park, it was claimed.

She then "opened her car window and screamed abuse at people for wearing masks as she drove off" according to the other customer, who wished to remain anonymous.
