Four minutes ago I walked into Lidl and purchased intoxicating liquor, almonds, oranges and mushrooms. When I came out it was dark. It wasn’t dark when I went in.
I have asked to speak to the store manager.

To happen on a happy Halloween holiday makes it all the more distressing and unforgivable.
I’m currently sitting in a rainy Tesco carpark after an unbelievably harrowing exchange at their customer service desk. I’m in my car, so don’t worry about me.
