Summary

A 73-year-old grandfather, Tony Daniels, was asked to leave an Asda store after refusing to hand over personal details while using his mobility scooter—despite other Asda locations never requiring such info. The supermarket says it’s a safety policy, but Tony says it felt humiliating, especially given his health struggles. Asda has reached out to clarify and is open to discussing the policy with him, highlighting the tension between well-meaning rules and individual customer experiences.
