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 stated the action was taken to protect staff and shoppers.
The woman said the decision made her feel “like a criminal.” She plans to appeal the order, as reported by reports from The Independent, Metro.co.uk and other UK outlets. The case has sparked discussion on customer conduct policies in the UK.
