as a 54 years old gay man raised a Catholic with autism myself, I’ve previously worked for Tesco for 17 years before Covid where there were previously 2 other staff members with autism that I’m aware of at my former store who ended up being driven out by bullying and when I worked there, there was a well established culture of bullying in my former store where other colleagues would openly back and support bullying behaviour - however, what you experienced as a customer was totally inappropriate and has clearly crossed a line because it was totally unprofessional - clearly, bullying has got much worse in Tesco since Covid and is extending to customers as well with these racist and prejudiced attitudes - you really do need to take legal advice and take legal action against Tesco, as they do need to be held accountable for their actions in a court of law in front of a judge and jury

Sorry missed the hood bit. Regardless. I know a man who drives with his hood up. Don't ask why,I've no idea.

If they felt intimidated they should have got security. Not felt the need to comment inappropriately.

just to act as devils advocate, but not to belittle your experience. My friend and I were in Marks some years ago. We were in the midst of a conversation laughing away. But at the same time there was a gentleman with his son who was disabled and was very distressed making high pitched noises. The father came over to us shouting how horrible we were for laughing at his son’s predicament when we tried to explain that we’re not, he would not have any of it. Sometimes we can be over sensitive. But if these two ladies were talking about you, please try and ignore it they have the problem not you. Don’t let their ignorance keep you inside hiding away. You have as much right to walk this earth as any other person.

That is appalling behaviour by staff members. My late sister late partner was Muslim but because he was diabetic didn't have to fast. I hope you get at least an apology. The world we live in is not very nice . People are judgemental. Take care and look yourself.

i’m ayesha. nice to meet you. love and hugs to you also, thank you again for telling me to raise this to the CEO which i now have and am waiting a reply from him back. i’m just so glad angelic people like yourself exist and please don’t think you’re going on, i prefer it when people say what they need to say.

and yes the store does have cameras and i’ve asked the CEO to review the store’s CCTV footage to identify those two nasty women.
