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

    • Very friendly and marginally competitive before placing the order.  During the works, not reliable scheduling and a lot of grunting, huffing and puffing. BUT BEWARE: Living room carpet laid not square to the walls - the edges are cut not following the stitches/pattern and will fray (not correctable without new carpet - given up) Stair carpets edges fraying - not cut and fitted carefully. One bedroom room carpet is not stretched and has a ridge. The Lynoleum floor in the bathroom buckled. Twice made appointments to correct the last 3 faults, twice did not turn up (the van is broken first; in hospital - without being able to confirm location - second time).  Never called back to arrange the visit.  Clearly he was relying on and succeeding in frustrating me to give up.  During the work, 36 hours of silence with the story “I lost my phone”. Much delay in providing the copy of the invoice for the purchase of a specific carpet - as my guarantee for 6 years of moth resistance. Could not provide references from clients but just one estate agent (Luisaat Samuel Estate Agents) claiming he works for agents . YOU MAY CONSIDER KEEPING AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!  
    • Thank you. We'll go and call him around there
