Meet Anthony and Regina Taylor, a lovely couple who have been doing their monthly shop at their local Aldi in Bootle for a decade. But suddenly, they’ve found themselves banned from the store! 😲

Traffic Updates
The drama unfolded when the couple, aged 75 and 65, were asked to unload their entire trolley at the checkout. Anthony, who suffers from osteoarthritis, has a usual routine: unload one item of bulk goods and simply inform the cashier of the quantity. But this time, it didn’t go down well. When the staff insisted they remove everything, Anthony quipped that maybe the employee needed glasses! 👓

The situation quickly escalated with the store manager stepping in, and the couple was escorted out. Anthony, bemused, only wanted his pound back from the trolley! 💷

Aldi’s spokesperson explained that it’s standard procedure to scan all items for accuracy. They emphasized that while they didn’t know about Anthony’s condition, they’re always willing to assist customers needing extra help. They made it clear: customer service is important, but abusive behaviour isn’t tolerated.

Anthony and Regina are upset and want an apology. They’ve been loyal customers from day one, and now they’re travelling miles just for their shopping. All they want is to return to their local Aldi. 😔

Do you think the couple deserve an apology? Or should stores stick strictly to their rules? Share your thoughts! 🛒💬
