I've just been challenged by a security guard at @LidlGB.

He informed me that a policy has been rolled out today that requires security to "politely challenge" customers without masks.

After informing him I was exempt, he asked me for my card.

I said I didn't need one and...

that he wasn't supposed to challenge me or ask me to present one.

We then exchanged some pleasantries, very politely, where I asked him to either refuse me entry or let me in.

I advised him that if he refused me entry, he was acting against the law and I would have to sue him..

He advised me that because this was my first time, he would let me shop but asked me to bring the card next time.

I reminded him I didn't need one and wouldn't be bringing a card or wearing a lanyard and told him that the next time I shopped I would present the legal documents..

that early shown that an exempt person can not be asked to present documents or refused entry as this would be a breach of the discrimination act.

I told him that I would request to see the store manager and ask for the name of the man or woman who was refusing me entry so...

that I could sue them in their personal capacity.

I was then introduced to the store manager and we exchanged the same story.

She asked me politely to buy a lanyard or bring my card otherwise she could refuse me entry.

I reminded her she couldn't and told her that if she did..
