I tried to buy some HEETS yesterday in Waitrose Leighton Buzzard and after showing my ID to the cashier I’ve been refused sell as apparently Waitrose doesn’t accept National ID Cards as a form of an ID. The government does but Waitrose doesn’t. I can travel abroad with my ID but can’t use it to buy an age restricted product at Waitrose. I am not required by law to have a UK ID and my National ID Card is valid in this country. I found this situation humiliating!!! It is against the Equality Act 2010 to discriminate and treat unfairly anyone when buying goods. Also according to the Article 20(2) of Directive 2006/123/EC of discriminatory treatment relating to the nationality of a service recipient in the conditions of access to a service which are made available to the public at large by a service provider it was a direct discrimination against me. Shame on you Waitrose!!!
