I needed to let off a bit of steam lol ...... Just popped to somerfield in the village and i had jay with me in his special needs buggy, and he started to scream a bit and shout ( which is normal for autistic children) and i managed to calm him down to arrive at the till to hear a old lady discussing how awful my son was to the checkout lady, so i looked at them and they said ' here she comes now with him' and they glared at me. I carried on putting my shopping on the counter and the lady at the till was looking at me and looking at the old lady who had obviously complained and moaned about me and jay, and the lady at the till was slamming my shopping down so hard that some of it fell to the floor, and i have got problems with my discs in spine at the mo, so last thing i needed was to be bending to get it, she then said ' next time can you leave it in the basket, and it wont fall on the floor. if she wasnt slamming it down it wouldnt of fallen on the floor, i was made to feel like a second class citizen due to my sons problems which cannot be helped, i then walked away and looked back to see them looking at us, raising eyebrows and whispering, i feel like crap now and i have got enough problems at the mo without some snotty cow in bloody somerfield looking down her nose at me grrrrrr sorry guys had to get it out........ ok rant over !

No wonder you wanted to let off steam hun...people like that make me sick. That is completely out of order and its got my blood boiling so I dont know what its done to you hun... Im really sorry you had to experience something like that. That old bat had no right to complain about you. You have just as much right to go about your daily life and shouldnt have to feel like a second class citizen. When in fact in my humble opinion I think she was the second class citizen for not showing you some compassion and empathy. Have you thought about complaining to the store manager? Thats what I did once when a shop worker had a go at my Mum cos she was going round in her wheelchair. for you and your son... Emily xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Awww hunnie that is so awful bless you, some people are so nasty and intolerant and have no respect for other peoples feelings. To be honest the Somerfield employee was being extremely unprofessional and shouldnt have taken it out on you bless you. Aww bless Jay he was doing no harm to anyone, the silly old woman is probably just one of these people who complains about everything. Aww bless you hun that was all you need at the moment ((((((hugs for you hunnie))))))))))))), hold your head up high hunnie you are certainly not a second class citizen and you are entitled to shop in Somerfield as much as anyone else. for you and Jay hunnie, bless you. lots of love Lin xxxxx

Thats awful hun! I'd complain if I were you. Thats the trouble with some people, they just have a black and white view of the world and dont realise that sometimes there are reasons behind what they perceive to be a "nuisance". If you were to complain, then at some point that silly bat at the counter and the awful woman serving you would realise why Jay was being like that and that he can't help it.

That's terrible hun, you can't believe how idiotic some people can be. I think you should complain to the manager. We had a woman like that in Tesco near us – I think she just basically hated everyone. She had a massive go at my brother in law for not putting his shopping in a basket, even though he only had three items?! She was also overheard telling some poor student how much she hated students, and was basically rude to everyone. My brother in law had the advantage of knowing the security guard and they complained, so that the woman was eventually disciplined and sacked. You can't let people act like that, it's so out of order!
