A WOMAN who suffers from a painful skin condition says she was asked to leave a supermarket after complaints from customers about her appearance. <\/p>\n
Psoriasis sufferer Kate Dalessio, 58, was told fellow shoppers in Sainsbury's had commented about scarring on her arms and claims the manager asked her to leave. <\/p>\n
Angry Kate has accused the supermarket giants of treating her like a shoplifter and plans to sue. <\/p>\n
But store bosses deny asking her to leave and say they were only trying to defuse an ugly situation as the shoppers who complained were getting more aggressive. <\/p>\n
Managers insist they were only trying to protect Kate until the other shoppers had left and say she is welcome back any time. <\/p>\n
The incident happened as Kate was out with her sister Alessandria, 59, at the Sainsburys store in Meadowbank, Edinburgh. <\/p>\n
She says that she was taken to the duty managers office before being escorted out of the store in front of staff and customers. <\/p>\n
Kate said: The duty manager told me that there had been complaints from two customers that I was being offensive. <\/p>\n
He explained that they objected to the state of my arms. <\/p>\n
I was wearing a sleeveless top and you could see the scarring my condition causes. The manager then took me downstairs back through the store in front of everyone to the exit. <\/p>\n
