I
only
got
a
few
steps
in
to
the
shop
and
was
treated
like
I
was
some
sort
of
disease
spreading
leprous
subhuman
after
walking
in
with
no
mask
(which
is
not
against
the
law)
and
a
hidden
disabilities
badge
(which
I
am
not
obliged
to
wear)
and
stating
that
I
was
exempt
when
asked
why
I
wasn't
wearing
a
mask.
I
was
aggressively
told
I
could
be
served
out
side.
Well
how
am
I
meant
to
know
what
I
want
if
I
can't
see
it?
I
was
so
shocked
and
disgusted
by
the
female
staff
members
attitude,
that
I
politely
told
her
to
"no
thanks"
and
walked
out
and
took
my
business
elsewhere,
such
as
Gerrard's
confectioneries
and
Paisley
Grey
in
Neston
town
centre
where
I
was
treated
like
a
normal
human
being/customer.
The
above
treatment
was
an
act
of
discrimination
and
is
a
serious
offence.
And
had
I
not
been
so
shocked
this
staff
member
could
be
taken
to
court
and
ordered
to
pay
compensation
of
up
to
£9,000
under
section
119
of
the
Equality
Act
2010.
Discrimination
against
anyone
is
a
serious
offence
and
I
hope
that
you
understand
that
discrimination
should
not
be
condoned
as
part
of
our
society.
Lawful
people
are
naturally
obliged
that
the
law
is
correctly
applied
with
appropriate
consequences
and
compensations.
