    The woman seems to think she has a right to shop at Waitrose even if the store manager doesn't want her. The shop should ban her permanently
    before further misunderstandings occur.

    If they "ban" enough customers, the store will go out of business...

    IT consultant, 55, sues police who arrested and 'strip searched' her
    when she refused to wear a mask in Waitrose because she was exempt
    * Juliet Johnson, 55, claims she was 'wrongfully arrested' in
    Chichester, Sussex
    * She had visited Waitrose in February this year and refused to wear a
    face mask
    * After she was arrested while shopping in the supermarket, Mrs

    She might have been hiding Covid-19. Apparently, not wearing a mask is
    a really terrible thing but the close proximity of a strip search is
    fine during a pandemic...
