'I only went in for orange squash': Shrewsbury man 'made to feel like a criminal' by Aldi bag search policy
A shopper says he was made to feel like a criminal in an Aldi store in Shrewsbury due to anti-shoplifting policy put in place at the branch.
Retired geophysicist Richard Collis, aged 59, who lives in Sutton Farm, said he visited the Oteley Road branch of the German supermarket last Friday afternoon to buy a bottle of squash.
"That is all I went in for but when I approached the check-out the assistant began trying to look in my bags, so I asked what he was doing," he said.
"I was told that he was checking to see if I had put something in there that I had not paid for. There was a queue of people who could hear what he was saying, so I asked if he were accusing me of shoplifting.
