Accusations of discrimination are what supermarket chain, Tesco are receiving right now after claims were made that a store made state school pupils wait outside while private school pupil were allowed to enter.
A Scottish store is facing backlash from parents of pupils from Boroughmuir High School were made wait at a barrier and enter in small groups unlike a local private school were not made to wait.
One local parent who also works as a professor in the nearby Edinburgh University said of the incident:
“Everybody should queue or nobody should queue.
“My son has to stand in the queue each day. He’s not one to complain but it was getting him down – so we decided to do something,” Mr Pollock told Evening Standard.
A Tesco representative contacted Mr Pollock and explained their decision saying private school students were “easier for the store” because there were not as many of them.
@Tesco makes one set of school kids queue outside, whilst another school walks in. One is state, the other private. Which one has to queue?
