During the run-up to Christmas I observed a clutter of displays, shelf-stocking trollies and piles of goods in the aisles at the Aberystwyth store. I mentioned to an employee in livery that the aisles were cluttered and obstructed. The apparent 'shelf-stacker' denied that was any form of obstruction. I was at least obvious that the path was crowded and difficult to navigate.
The "shelf-stacker" then marched down the aisle toward a Tannoy connected telephone and called for a senior manager to attend urgently.
I continued my shopping until a man who appeared to be a senior person accosted me in the company of the "shelf-stacker".
The "shelf-stacker" then accused me of swearing at and abusing him. ….. I NEVER used foul language or abusive language toward the employee. I simply grumbled about the clutter.
The manager then sent the complainant away (before I could talk to him) and seized my shopping basket and threatened to call the police if I ever returned to the store.
Some days later I called Morrisons HQ and gave a report to their complaints phone line complaining about the unfair treatment. I requested a written reply. There came none.
After about a month I returned to shop located at place that I have patronised for probably longer than that manager has been alive.
I have not been challenged for shopping there ever since. I will continue to shop there as long as it pleases me. Any request or demand by any "manager" to remove me will require the acquiescence of the Police!
