She said: ‘I was standing at the foot of the till waiting to bag my shopping up, yet the lady on the checkout was just staring at me. ‘When I stopped my conversation and said “Is everything okay?” she said: “I will not check your shopping out until you get off your mobile phone”.

been shopping at the Sainsbury’s for a decade. On the visit in question she had spent around £25 on some meat, fresh vegetables, milk and bread.

She said yesterday: ‘I was dumbfounded at the time so just hung up. I don’t know what she was playing at. did she have the right to give me a lecture on checkout etiquette? ‘She was talking to me as if I should have known that I was breaking the rules, like I was a naughty child and now it turns out those aren’t the rules anyway.’ Miss Clarke has submitted a complaint to Sainsbury’s but has not yet received a response. A spokesman for the store chain said: ‘We have apologised to Miss Clarke and offered her some vouchers. isn’t our policy to not serve customers who are using a mobile phone.’
Tesco and Sainsbury's urgent recall of tinned pasta over choking riskMay be contaminated with pieces of rubber 15 Jul 2016, 3:57 Tesco and Sainsbury's have issued an urgent recall for several of their tinned pasta products. The tins of own-brand beef ravioli and macaroni cheese have been ruled a health risk, after the discovery that they may contain pieces of rubber. The products were all manufactured by Noliko NV in Belgium. Customers are being told not to eat the pasta, and to return the tins to the store for a refund - the receipt isn't necessary. "As a precautionary measure Sainsbury's and Tesco are recalling the affected products and point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores where the products are sold," the Food Standards Agency (FSA) explains. Last year, the FSA investigated and dealt with 1,514 cases of food, animal feed and environmental contamination in the UK. The biggest number - contamination with pathogenic micro-organisms - amounted to 18% of the total, with another 14% accounted for by the presence of allergens that weren't declared on the label.
