Their security guards must be seriously dim if they are unable to identify guide dogs.
Quite incredible that this could happen in 2022. Although reading the story, it does not sound like it is an isolated incident.
I’m a Waitrose man, not an M&S Food Hall man.
The bitter rivalry between these ABC1 nosh shops is tribal – it’s makes Fenerbahce v Galatasaray and Rangers v Celtic look tame.

Those M&S Ultras are vicious like that.
They know how much us Waitrose lads love that daily free cappuccino.

It’s been back on trial here at Basingstoke’s branch, but the trial ends 29th May and I may require counselling and to form a local support group if it’s taken away again.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I was in a pub once when a bloke came in with a guide dog. He picked it up by one leg and twirled it round and round above his head. Someone said “what the **** are you doing”
“Just having a look round”
If they are blind how do they know what they are buying?
I can’t say too much as blind Dave beat me at snooker last weekBlackbeard to conquer the World
Good point and one could be a very cruel shop assistant
Asks for toilet roll and guide him to tin foil… with unfortunate results
Not everyone who’s blind is 100% without vision.
Much like not everyone who needs a wheelchair at times is completely unable to walk.
Much like not everyone who needs crutches or a walking stick is completely unable to perambulate without them.
Much like not every disability is visible to others.They hand out security licenses like it’s a joke these days, some female security guard in Lidl last week tried accusing me of stealing a packet of chicken because I didn’t have the receipt, told me that if I didn’t have a receipt then I hadn’t paid for it and told me to put it back! The poor woman didn’t realise I was having a bad day and I completely tore into her, made her cry and everything (which I actually felt bad about afterwards). Never seen her back there since.
Can understand why you feel bad Ben but can also understand why you read her the riot act. I’m normally pretty easy going but I will lose my rag pretty quickly if accused of something I didn’t do.
I know it’s a thankless job at times but there’s enough robbing barstewards out there they could be concentrating on without wasting time going after people who have paid up.
For sure, was equally offended as it’s my local supermarket and I go there numerous times a week, yet she thought I’d be there robbing a £2 packet of chicken lol. I think I was mostly annoyed because I did security in a department store for a few years and always made sure never to make anyone feel that way so when the favour wasn’t returned I lost my rag very fast haha.
My standing (me being repetitive and boring) joke at the Waitrose basket only express till goes as follows: “Want a receipt, sir?” “Good question. I do look like a shoplifter so it might be a good idea. Then again, if you promise to vouch for me if security accost me, we can save a tree and I’ll go receipt free!”

I did think that was the case when blind Dave got a 20 break last night.
I did turn a blind eye to him potting the brown for his first red and stuck it on the spot when he wasn’t lookingBlackbeard to conquer the World
