Hi there,

This is a long shot i know, but i was verbally assaulted by the manger of Llidl Denmark hill at around 6.20 pm on Thursday 26th July.

He and two colleagues manning the self serve checkouts were laughing and joking loudly and f'ing and blinding about " Chi Chi men ". This is a derogatory slang  Jamaican term for a homosexual.

Once i got to the till I politely told him that i didn't expect to hear such language in a public store while trying to shop. He then told me several times to F off out of his store followed with several uses of the C word.

I  reported the incident to the Police who took the matter seriously, however Lidl has offered up limited CCTV that does not prove what happened and the case has been closed. Lidl have offered me a £50 voucher out of goodwill. I will not accept that as way of an apology for what happened.

I'm looking for any possible  witnesses or any advice as to how to pursue this matter further. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry it's not a happy story!

thanks

Jon

 

 

I wonder if you have been able to deal with Lidl's head office as a first port of call. I would imagine them not being happy at all to hear this happened, and they would likely launch an internal investigation where they can interview colleagues, access CCTV records, etc.

If that didn't work and the police isn't being more helpful, perhaps the media might help - it seems like something the Guardian might report on

    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
