## Resource

A 73-year-old disabled grandfather, Tony Daniels, says he was forcibly removed from an Asda store after refusing to provide personal details while using his mobility scooter — a policy Asda defends as standard safety protocol. Tony, who’s never faced this before at other locations, felt humiliated and unsafe, describing the encounter as deeply distressing. Asda has since contacted him to clarify their policy and offer further discussion, sparking a broader conversation about how store rules can unintentionally alienate vulnerable shoppers.
