A 79‑year‑old great‑grandmother has been barred for life from every Sainsbury’s and Argos store across the United Kingdom. The ban follows a series of incidents, officials said, including an altercation over one lottery ticket. Sainsbury’s said the action was taken to protect staff and shoppers.
The woman said the decision made her feel “like a criminal.” She intends to appeal the order, according to reports from The Independent, Metro.co.uk and other UK outlets. The case has sparked discussion on customer conduct policies in the UK.
